My timing when it comes to buying bitcoin really sucks. "Well that's as low as I've seen it for ages, let's buy :) " A few moments later... # "Oh... It went lower, a lot lower, OK stop now, oops" lol

GM nostr :) happy Sunday #gm

The Kelpies. A huge metal art installation in Falkirk, Scotland. They look even more impressive in person. #photography #nostr

Big change to my profile here. I'm just going to use it as a hosting place for my photos, keep it simple. New name as well :)

Let's talk about nostr. This has so much potential, but for some reason its feeling quite lonely and flat here. I have removed all my photography posts, I tried pretty hard but there isn't an audience here for photography, that's understandable I suppose, but I did hope we could carve out more of an art and photo scene on nostr, beyond AI anime pictures 😄 My thoughts are that when bitcoin crashed in value, a lot of the activity here fell off too. I did at least used to get some traction on my posts a few months ago, but recent ones have very much felt like staring into an empty void 😶 I'm still going to hang around. There are lots of really interesting posts made by other people, but I have to accept the idea that this is more an alternative niche tech and geeky crypto hangout than a possible competitor to X or Instagram, and that's ok, everything has its place. The bad news is that globally I fear a tightening on freedom. X is likely getting banned in several countries, YouTube keeps getting worse, privacy is being eroded. Things like nostr offer an alternative, but I don't know how we get that message out. 🙂

I'm back :) here's some street photography. #photography

Dunno guys but I feel like interest in my little photography posts has fallen off the cliff lol. Not that it was setting the world on fire to start with but I was hoping that things like photography and arty stuff would grow and get more popular on here, but the opposite is happening, or I'm just getting worse over time, that's possible too 😁 What can I do to improve? Thanks.

Saw this person on the riverbank (looking tiny in this picture), no idea what they were doing but the scene looked really nice. #photography

I want to love nostr, I was f to love primal, but so often I come on here and its just froze, or won't update, or posts just vanish, or the comments wont load. Any advice to help?

Dont be afraid to have children. They change your life, give it meaning and make it worth waking up in the morning. It's the greatest thing you'll ever do. So many people now wait till its too late, or think I'll "cramp my lifestyle", but the truth is, having kids surpasses every other thing you think gives your life value. Do it, you'll love it :)

I went out today intending to take some street photography pictures documenting "the decline of civilisation" where I live. My rule was going to be, no poor porn, no pictures that are obviously political, just pictures showing how badly things are deteriorating. My camera never even made it out my bag. Every picture would have been poor porn or political. At 12am during a weekday, the place was full of drunks, junkies, suspicious looking creeps, beggars and apparently disabled people (with walking sticks or mobility scooters). Half the shops were boarded up and the rest were a mix of shops for specific ethnicities (Indian, polish etc), vape shops, Turkish hairdressers or Chinese nail bars. All the classic stores and cool niche shops are gone. I also felt very threatened, and I'm not exactly a timid person, but there was a horrible atmosphere about the place. The crumbling buildings, failing infrastructure, dirt, litter, lack of investment and cheap pointless "art installations" didn't come close to comparing to the wasted state of the people. Any pictures i took would have been sad and depressing, and I didn't want that, I was hoping to show a sort of "people thriving in the face of adversity" feel, but no, it would just have been people deteriorating in the face of abandonment. I havent given up, but next time I'll go to more of a tourist place, or business area, where I won't feel I'm about to get mugged and, hopefully, I can tell the story without it being a completely soul crushing horror.

Goody good, goody good, good morning 😀😀😃😃😃 keep going, we'll get there in the end.

Goooooood morning nostr
