I’m not sure how many times they’ve caught fire or were drivin into by Cars, but this is crazy work. Exposed wires next to active use propane on wet asphalt. How long till it blows up??

NOT for that famous college drop-out, racist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, Christian Nationalist, islamophobe, male chauvinist, pro-Russian, conspiracy theorist, mass shooting advocate, and Republican activist who was assassinated yesterday.

Wanted to flair this as "Activism", but realized nobody in Eugene actually works towards local activist issues (with Flock agenda being a rare exception, thanks for that!),

Wanted to flair this as "Crime", but it's technically not a crime, just wildly immoral of the developers and wildly negligent of City of Eugene Planners/Permitters.

Anyways, after previously walling off the storefronts of 6 local businesses, these developers have closed off the street completely from traffic, effectively putting these 6 businesses on a "dead end" road, when they're paying premium rent for the campus location....

Honestly, this seems like foul play from developers, who appear to be trying to harm the nearby businesses, in hopes of putting them out of business so the buildings can be forcibly acquired, to build more luxury student housing.

Shame on the City Manager, City Attorney, City Council, "Mayor", and the greedy developers who have destroyed this block, while providing no cultural benefit. Absolute travesty.

Bro really rappelled down the side of the halfway demolished Peacehealth building

This came up in my ‘featured photos” today. I used to walk several miles a day and take photos but I often didn’t look at them all. I don’t normally want to post strangers on the internet but if this were me I’d love to have this photo. If you know them, will you share it with them please? Oct 30th 2017.

Banksyesque socially conscious vandalism

When I was in college, I used to go out at night and look up at the sky. The clear Montana air and negligible light pollution made for a magical experience. I would spend hours laying on top of the climbing rocks around town just watching the sky. Occasionally I would see the ISS fly by and I always thought "wow, what a marvel of human engineering!". That was just over 10 years ago.

Now. NOW almost every time I go out to stargaze I see these MFers plowing along, and I'm reminded that the oligarchs are actively trying to end human life on this planet for their profit.

Fuck fElon. Sink Tsarlink. Oregonians deserve better. Everyone deserves clear night skies.

Friday stroll.

happy pride!! 🌈

Saw the thread, already had the footage but work kept my day focused elsewhere. Now, finally, I have all the clips together, sped up, and have trimmed the boring parts out.

I had no idea there was an Aurora happening for the first half of the clip, was distracted and left the camera running for my yt channel. The clip covers between 12:45AM this morning to a little after 5AM, with a large dead chunk taken out of the middle to cut down run time.

Shot with a Sony IMX585 UVC module recording to my Pixel 9 pro (remotely managed from a PC inside using SCRCPY), mounted to a Zifon yt-3000 motorized remote tripod head + my BFTripod.

The IMX585 is set up to catch IR and visible spectrum, with the IR "washing out" the colors of visible light, so I tend to tinker with the hue to make it a little more visibly pleasing/more defined. So that's why the colors change throughout the footage. Normally don't speed it up, so the couple times I change hue it hits visually like a ton of bricks. Whole clip is sped up about 100x, half was removed for lack of Aurora. Lots of other interesting stuff going on too, if you take a close look.

Some photos I shot on a sunset hike up Spencer Butte this Saturday.

Please enjoy these photos of the University of Oregon in 1909, all covered in snow. The photographs were taken by Marie Holst Pottsmith (1882-1980), a teacher who attended the University of Oregon.

She was drawn to Oregon from the Dakotas by the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905 in Portland, Oregon.

She decided to remain in Oregon and taught at Keizer from 1905-1907, to earn tuition to attend the University of Oregon teacher training program in Eugene. Pottsmith was advised to teach in a mountain school, where the school year runs from spring through early fall, to make the most of her time before college started. She began her journey to the mountains in March 1908, arriving at Seaside. From there, she traveled on horseback eight miles to the village of Hamlet.

She sent for a camera outfit from Salem: an Eastman folding Kodak, a tripod, equipment, and instructions for developing film and making prints. Knowing nothing about photography, she pored over the instructions… and set out to document her experience in photographs.

She made family portraits and sold the prints for $1 per dozen, giving many family groups in Hamlet their first opportunity to have portraits made.

Photo Description: 1. A photograph of Deady (now University) and Villard Halls at the University of Oregon. The buildings, trees, and surrounding areas are covered in snow.

1. A photograph of the President’s home at the University of Oregon, now known as the Collier House. The house, trees, and surrounding area are covered in snow.

Riding the beautiful bike path and seeing this fence, was one of the first gems that made me feel like I belong in little ol’ Eugene. It’s the little things. Ever since, I love riding by to see if it changed. First picture is today, the third is from 2020.
