Peter Buttigeig. Best retail politics Democrat on the national scene. Plenty of chops, Rhodes Scholar, military experience. Can we get over the fact he is gay?

In this bizarre world of Social Media sites, I'm trying to run a website selling my photos. The lesson that I have learned is that the only algorithm I care about is you! So....I need email addresses! Can I ask you to sign up? I don't sell email addresses and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Are you a #NazReid fan? He attended my old high school, and I photographed him for 4 years. He came back Thursday night for his #5 uniform retirement. In preparation, I collected photos from the four years for the program. Here are some of them. Follow me for more.

Old Twitter's mechanisms would have led me to experts on wildfires, water-policy obsessives, and brave photographers who carried their cameras to the edge of danger and beyond. Today's X wants to convince me that LA's catastrophe is all the fault of women and minorities.

If your Mom went to the same school as Rosie Grier she is from Roselle, not Roselle Park.

Grew up in Roselle. Know Roselle Park pretty well.

Instead of finding people who appreciate and want to buy my art.
I never really tried on Twitter, it was already too toxic and as it became more of a megaphone for Musk’s interests I saw my real follower count decline and be replaced by some bot accounts.
I’m going to try it here (4)

And once I retired I decided to return to my passion and see what I could do.
The reality is that the photography part is easy and that I don’t get to do enough of it.

Instead I find that I work for Social Media companies for free, hoping to get likes and followers to satisfy me (2)

I just started here on Bluesky. At 18, I followed my father’s advice to not pursue a career in photography, but instead to college, and then become a lawyer.
I didn’t become a lawyer, but instead had a great career in the bond markets.
But it always felt like I walked away from a gift, (1)

Funny thing, I had pretty much withdrawn from Twitter anyway, but I never saw my small follower count go down.
I looked yesterday and about 40% of my followers were bots I did not know. Bad bots. It was just a game…
