I'm migrating over to @shom@gts.shom.dev.

You might see a follow request coming from that account. I'm experiencing some issues, so you might see it more than once. If you'd like to, please follow me there and I'll try the formal migration once more when I'm done with the timeout 😬

I'm a photographer who enjoys landscape and underwater wildlife while traveling and diving. I've been shooting film lately, 35mm and 120, and developing & scanning Black & White film at home (color soon). Film has reinvigorated my love for photography and I've found a great community on the Fediverse, thank you!

Here are a few of my photos for #PortfolioDay. More at https://photos.shom.dev/.

Howe Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Digital Sony A7c mirrorless.

Snow covered mountain peaks are lit up in late evening alpine pink glow against a cloudy sky in the far background. The mid ground is foothills framed with pine and larch trees that are turning a brilliant yellow. The foreground is a still lake that is reflecting the scene above straight through the middle of the photo.

Manhattan, New York City, USA. 120 medium format film. Shot on a 1935 Rolleiflex Standard on Kentmere 400 @ 800.

Black and white photo of three sky scrapers with glass window facades are lined up with two on the left closer together and the right one with more a gap with the middle building. Each building a different take on rectangle, from left to right: stacked rectangles with triangle shapes sticking out the top, proper rectangles with square segments, rectangle exterior windows facade broken up with recessed rectangles angling down. The top right of the photo has leafless tree branches encroaching towards the top of the buildings.

Color photo of an old wooden wagon in somewhat dilapidated condition with the wheel closest to the camera having separated from the metal hoop and missing a couple spokes. The scene is light from the right with a strong golden light filtered through green tree branches.

Build log: day 5. The glue-up was quite stressful, getting the stretcher and the second leg aligned at the same time was a bit of a challenge. I'm quite chuffed with having completed the whole build in five days. I'm going to leave the cedar unfinished and have it age into the gray (sand it back in a few years). Delivery day is tomorrow!

I'd like to imagine I'm not the only one who struggles with the desire to create, share, and upkeep things that I've previously shared. This feels more acute when it's a tool someone else might use.

I've been coming to grips with this "personal tech debt", not sure what else to call it and wrote a post about it [1]. I would love to hear how others deal with this, especially those working on small FOSS projects that are "scratch your own itch".
