Pretty solid month ✨
ITAP of the moon and sun hugging ☀️🌑🌎 An unedited, single shot of the moment before totality 🤯 It's hard to put into words what it feels like to watch the sun go out. I can still see the moment in my mind and can feel the chill of darkness. No wonder ancient peoples thought the world was ending...
What is the next stage of crypto social? 👀 I’ve been trying to step back into fc over the past few weeks, but I end up here for only a few minutes each time before losing interest. I used to step into tech conversations & philosophical discussions, art & creativity; there still is some of that, but it seems less. I muted some keywords related to trading and that helped improve my feed immensely, but I still feel as though there is something missing from the next stage of this app (and crypto social in general). I see lots of talk about creator coins, usually negative, with positive ones being muted because of my trading keywords (meaning it’s likely pure talk about flipping/pumping, rather than philosophy). Social media economics is, with the exception of YouTube (imo) completely broken, so the thought of introducing more opportunities for value creators/artists/educators (whatever you call yourselves) is exciting to me, one of the main reasons I’ve been exploring crypto & identity since 2017. I would love to hear some updates on creator economics being enabled by crypto, either pros or cons, ideally with some examples that don’t involve people who are directly involved with the platform or already have 50,000+ followers. Any resources are appreciated too 🫡
The Total Lunar Eclipse 2025 ✨ (I'm so glad they're back!) Prints available via darkroom, linked 👇 A bit about why this shot matters to me: Total Lunar Eclipses are one of my favourite photographic subjects. They happen so infrequently, each experience is unique, sticking in my mind for years. The last time I shot a total lunar eclipse (in 2022), I was stuck in a job that was burning me out. As I sat under the eclipse of 2022, I had hours to watch one of the most incredible natural phenomena that Earth has to offer, reflecting on the changes I could make to my life. Now, 3 years later, I've quit my job and am pursuing the life of my dreams as a creator, artist, and educator (on YouTube). Shooting the 2025 Total Lunar Eclipse brought me right back to the place I was 3 years ago, reflecting both on how grateful I was to be in a much better place than I was during the last eclipse, and that the clouds stayed away for this magical experience. I hope you like it!
