I'm not really good at things like an #introduction I've been curious about mastodon for a while and I decided to finally dive in. I'm planning to wean myself off of platforms controlled by the oligarchy.

Among other things I'm a #photographer these days its mostly wildlife and landscape, and where I live in Tsawwassen, BC is home to some amazing birds. I also love BC's coastal forests and try to spend as much time in them as I can.

When I'm not out with a camera I'm working in big tech.

@mayo Hey Mayo! great to bump into you here too! Thanks, I try to get out and walk everyday if I can't bike, etc and taking the camera with me is good motivation! Hope you are doing well!

Btw, @cmurray you need a better way to share specific images from your site! I was hoping to share one of my personal favorites with Jyrgen but can't link it specifically.

If you're trying it out anyway, there are other software accesses besides mastodon. Just try out something like Friendica or Pixelfed?

@cmurray those short eared owls are so cool! we get them in parts of the UK/scotland too but I've not had the chance to see one myself - their habitat is a bit further south than where I typically visit. maybe one day

Chris Murray

@murraylivingston I hope you get the chance one day, they are incredible birds to observe while hunting!

Nomdeb WILL NOT ACQUIESCE

@cmurray waves a big welcome to you. And your photos are sublime. Those razor sharp yellow eyes on that owl. I am mesmerized.
