I have more curiosity than time or focus. I'm always striving to be a good friend and an ally to all humans. I value privacy but also want to connect with interesting people. So if this passes your vibe-check, please say hi, prefer he/him but "hey you" also works!

I like cute pets, #FilmPhotography, food, #FOSS, nature, #SelfHosting, scuba diving, #Trains, travel, #Woodworking, and unknown future hobbies.

If boosted media doesn't have #AltText, I wrote a #ALT4you comment before boosting.

A black dog with white jowls and brown eyebrows (tri-colored Australian Shepherd) is laying smooshed between a brown leather couch on the right and a red fleece blanket. The edge of an open book frames the left side.

A sunset scene of a lake encircled by snow drizzled mountain peaks on the sides and trees in the foreground. The sky is shades of orange and the clouds are backlit fluffy cotton candy. The middle of the lake has a small island with a handful of trees.

Black and white photo of a Jumping cholla / Hanging chain cholla with small shrubs scattered about and some other cacti in the background. The cactus has a trunk with two arms spreading out with other branches come off. On the left arm, there's almost a rag doll shaped growth sitting on the branch.

In camera double exposure: A radio tower made out of lattice construction and painted red and white with several dish and cylindrical antennas sticking out against a blue sky is super imposed on top of a brick background.

A PineNote e-ink tablet with a pen on it is placed on a black mat with white grids along a collection of various coins down the side for a size comparison. The coins are (top to bottom):
Canadian 2 dollars
Mexican 10 pesos
Japanese 500 ten
UK 1 pound
US 25 cents

A narrow crushed gravel path with foliage on both sides growing towards the middle creating a natural tunnel. Sunny blue skies peeking through.

A very yellow bike is parked at a stand on a concrete lot with a bag with paniers in the back. The setting sun is hitting parts of the bike accentuating the yellow.

Cast irontop of a small bandsaw which has a cleaning lubricant on the surface which has become a dirty black oil creating these swirly overlapping patterns from the random orbit sander.

The cast-iron top of a jointer that is gleaming a metallic silver after being cleaned.

A copse of yellow trees are at a curve on the road with some distant mountains in the background and some blue sky poking out around big clouds.

Exact same scene as before but now there's a patch of sunshine on the trees and they're glowing as if they're on fire.

Mountain stream is still and reflecting snow dusted trees and yellowing shrubs.

A tabby cat with one white boot and a white chest is looking up from under a saw horse after being startled.

Another tabby cat with a timid expression is looking out from behind some boxes.

Watercolor of mountain range with blue skies blending (poorly) into an orange sunset above silhouetted peaks with bits of snow cap. The painting is in a notebook on a wooden table with a paint kit and markers strewn about.

Woodpecker with a light spotted chest and red markings under his chin is flat on his back on the ground with a brown hand with an out stretched index finger stoking the bird's chest.

Same as before but the bird is now standing on his feet with the finger now letting the head and back.

A mountain range at dusk with diffused light lighting up orange clouds constrasting against the blue tones of the silhouette of the snowcapped peaks.

Top down view of a blue backpack with white shoes stuck into the mesh pocket. Sunglasses on the floor everything will get added to the floor next to pack and glasses.

Plus a pink plastic 1L water bottle and a vertical stack of 5 shirts.

Plus olive hiking trousers, an orange packing cube (travel cpap machine) same size as trousers, and two rolled quick dry shirts.

Plus two more rolls alongside rolled shirts, rolled long pajamas and athletic showers, a black packing cube (toiletries) slightly smaller than orange, two laptops stacked on top of each other (top is covered with fun stickers, work laptop info is obscured), a gray packing cube (water color travel paints, notebook, pens and markers) slightly smaller than black cube, a film rangefinder camera with two rolls of film, five rolled boxer briefs, two pairs of socks, and now backpack is laying flat having been mostly emptied out (charging cables, batteries, first aid not emptied).

A water color drawing of a bird in a notebook with some paints and a brush on the left and two bowls of dirty and clean water on a tiled table. The drawing is of a long-tailed broadbill sitting on a branch, or is mostly green with darker green wings, yellow and white in the head and dark and bright blue highlights in the tail.

A tri color (mostly black) Aussie shepherd is lying at the feet of someone wearing khaki pants and brown house slippers on top of a black and gray carpet with some electrical cables nearby. Dog looks really defeated.

Watercolor notebook with a small tray of paints and a brush resting next to a paint swatch. The notebook page has 8 varying sizes of ammonite like spiral shapes in different colors with different water color techniques on each rendering an interesting electic set of figures.

The stem of a monitor stand has a plastic cover over the baas. A brown hand is lifting the black cover to reveal a hex driver and two Allen keys nestled in custom forms.

A tri color Aussie Shepard has wedged his head between the couch and my butt and napping away. A leather couch with a blanket and a monstera plant accenting the cozy vibe.

Light wispy pink hued clouds are streaking across the blue sky punctuated by silhouettes of birds in flight.

A black and white photo of a silhouetted canoe with a dragon head and tail decoration is being rowed by 9 people on a river. The canoe is in between two posts of a floating dock heading towards a trellis bridge that is barely popping up on the left edge of the screen. The entire scene is very back lit, grainy, bloomy and has a yesteryear vibes.

An extreme close up for a sharp tail eel which has this goofy nostrils and a single eye visible, cute and derpy expression.

An abstract scene of light blue on the top of the frame making way to darker blues towards the bottom with a lot of undulating dappled texture throughout the image.
It's a photo of rain falling on the surface of water taken from underwater.

A dark image of the ocean at night but the white foam from the crashing waves on the beach is visible against the greenish blue of the water and the dark blue of the sky with some gray storm clouds and a hint of lightning in the distance.

Side of an industrial building painted white with a wooden staircase with a setting sun casting warm light and long shadows.

A long and narrow slab of walnut on a workbench. It has two "live edges" with lighter color sap wood and darker middle. The lower edge is next to a black straight edge and this is the front of the shelf. You can barely make out the pencil lines that show the intended dimensions.

A close of the front live edge. Mineral oil application has made the wood look much darker to simulate what a finished version might look like. There's a curve that protrudes out and it has a crazy amount of "crotch figure" (swirly lines and patterns) and chattoyance.

A view from an elevation looking across a river gorge framed on all sides with trees with a large branch going across the top creating a natural window frame with the valley across and bloomy sky beyond. It is very green, a bit gloomy, and you can feel the humidity just looking at the photo.

A total solar eclipse with the solar wind streaming out of a pitch black hole on a pitch black canvas. It's eerie and awe inspiring.

Same image except the bottom right now has progressed into the "diamond ring" where extremely bright light is slowly swallowing the darkness.

A yellow colored dog with a red/gray collar is very attentive at the window with her ears fully perked where a fly can be seen contratsed against the gray sky.

An overcast sky has some low hanging darker clouds over a various shades of green valleys stretching to the horizon beyond a river which is framed by large trees growing down the slopes of the river gorge. In the foreground is a buffet of wild flowers atop prairie grasses. The whole scene is a bit misty from the moisture in the air which is also diffusing and scattering the light.

A light brown dog is laying haphazardly on a gray dog bed on top of a black carpet with tan design.

Same dog is on the same bed, butt hanging out and chewing on an alligator chew toy.
