Sunrise on the mountains.
Reviewing photos from sunrise shoot. 📷
The 4:15a alarm this morning to go shoot sunrise is reminding me of a saying I first heard from my friend Layne Kennedy:
Big part of photography is f/8 and be there.

My blog turns 21 today! I’m so happy that I have stuck with this blogging hobby for so long. It is a “life project” that I will value forever – and continued growth in posting activity!

Having fun.

Day 2 of the Micro.blog photo challenge — curved road with mountains behind. 📷
Select images grabbed quickly before going to sleep after day 1 of our Banff - Lake Louise photo workshop. Felt rusty in the morning but things clicked more throughout the day. Good day of shooting. 📷

I added a Pellet Sensor to the Traeger this morning. Good confidence thing to have for long smoke sessions.
612 POAP Challenge: Collect them all!
Way back in the day I loved Geocaching. It was so much fun, particularly before it got commercialized. It was a way of exploring the area around you and finding cool, hidden things. 🗺️
When I first found POAPs the capability to claim a POAP for a location was something I wanted right away, and now you can with location drops! I created my very first location POAP and even recorded a video claiming it. Awesome. I wanted to make something with this. 🤔
Then I connected the dots between the 612 Series NFTs which I have a complete collection of. You may remember I also interviewed Erik Halaas who created it. This was perfect – peanut butter and chocolate moment! ✨
Thus the 612 POAP Challenge was created! 😲
If you live in Minneapolis join in and go collect some of these locations. The event runs until Labor Day. I think this will be a fun summer activity! Get the whole family involved on some walks, bike rides, kayaks, and explore the city. I collected my first one this morning! 🧭
I love that I was able to create an entire activity on the POAP platform. 🤩
PS: Please spread the word to others so we can get a bunch of folks playing along!
Screen recording at Lake Harriet claiming the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge!
Finished 4.05 mile walk in 73.1 minutes (18.05 min/mile). It was a delightful morning for a walk with great views and feats of strength. I also collected the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge to officially kick off a summer project — see the moment! 🚶♂️
So I’m not sure how far around the lake this guy was going, but walking around 3 miles around a lake dragging a large tire behind you is next level. Impressive stuff! 💪
Nice morning to do some fishing on Lake Harriet.
Entropy is definitely losing at our house today:
✅ Upstairs HVAC install complete
✅ Generator install completed
✅ Carpet replacement completed
🙌
I find it ironic that I’ve got a lot of things going on and am struggling to find the time to read How to do Nothing by Jenni Odell. 😬
