Saw this story on Petapixel about the famous photo “The Vulture and the Little Girl” – which you’ve probably seen and know exactly what I’m talking about. The article is about the history of the photo, the person and the group he was part of (the Bang-Bang Club) when he took at, the impact of […]

Decided to do a “long one” today. Celebrate the weekend with some pain and hardship, work off some of the scotch from last night, all that. Not too bad. Got out before it got too hot and actually finished 2 minutes faster than my last couple. Not that 1:06 is any sort of screaming time,
My latest bitch is about how “modern” web design is conflicting with password managers. Normally, a login page has three essential elements. A text field for a username, a text field for a password, and a button for logging in. That’s it. If you’re using a modern and secure system then there’ll be the next

I’ve had a longstanding issue that the Cyberpower UPS that I have attached to my Synology NAS has never worked properly. Whenever the power went out (thankfully not all that often) the UPS just doesn’t U at all. It’s a very interruptible uninterruptible power supply. It’s also something I’ve never really wanted to test too
I’m never on the ball for finding all the new stuff, but this isn’t too bad, reviewing a show that’s a year old, but hey, it’s only a year old. I don’t remember where I found Deadloch, a series from Australia that’s a mix of detective show, comedy, drama and mystery. IMDB describes it as a “dark comedy” and they’re right.

Took the big camera and longer lens (also the 56/1.2) to the dog park today. Felt a bit embarrassed pulling it out, it’s not exactly subtle, but luckily there weren’t a lot of people there. Took some photos of my boys as well as a regular corgi, a little 4.5m old pug puppy, and the

for some reason life feels so fucking hard right now and I don’t know why and I don’t know how to stop it.
Somehow I lived in Maple Ridge my entire adolescent life and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been to Cliff Falls. I know it was a place that friends from high school went to to drink at, and I’m pretty sure at some point I heard about someone dying there, but somehow I never ended up going there myself.

A few weeks ago the aurora borealis was visible up in the northern hemisphere a lot lower than normal, so it was actually visible around the Fraser Valley. Of course I had no idea, even when I was browsing around Facebook and Twitter and kept on seeing people posting photos, but for some reason I
