Meme-tastic. Memes are thoughts that propagate - funny images are just one example. Before Richard Dawkins became a general troll and dickhead, he was a brilliant biologist who changed our understanding by noting that genes seek to propagate - not organisms, which are merely the vessels for those genes. He also hypothesised that human ideas could propagate in a way completely analogous to biological evolution - with ideas simply sticking around because they had the right properties to propagate rather than because they were particularly useful. The term, ‘memes’ was coined to describe these units of idea that could stick and propagate. These little piles of stones seem a pretty fine example to me. Someone made a first one and then…

I guess I was always political. Just not popular enough to get the change we needed…

Guerrilla DSLR photography. I’m going to photograph the birds that land on the phone line behind our house using this 10 year old Nikon D200 and this 40 odd year old Pentax / Takumar 400mm lens that’s been butchered to fit. Watch this space.

Whatever flaws this selfie has, dammit I’m proud I got the focus 95% on at 105 at f2.5.
