A comparison to demonstrate how I retrieve weak colour information from a faded autochrome: I never paint on new colour to digitally colourise a photo, I only ever work with & boost the colour information in the original plate. This photo shows WWI French war graves at Laffaux on Moday 14th May 1917

The orange zing of 1910: I have cleaned-up this striking autochrome study by Thomas Shields Clarke, taken at his home Fernbrook in Lenox, Massachusetts, 115 years ago. It is original colour, not colourised.

Travel back in time to the Central American country of Guatemala 99 years ago, with this stunningly vibrant autochrome of a lady in national dress, photographed in colour by Jacob J. Gayer in 1926.

The courts are doing everything they can to keep elections fair.
I think we will likely see more bomb threats - the 2024 model, and potentially see people trying to prevent voting. That’s why I’m urging everyone to vote early if at all possible.
We’re going to win. But it’s going to be stupid.

Happy #Caturday from Squeezy, the silly little goose that he is. He LOVES being out in the courtyard area, despite it being SO dang hot!

I am biased, yes, but after a ride today, I remain convinced that I live in one of the most amazing parts of the country. This is #TucsonWash (way north of Tucson, tributary of the San Pedro River). #SonoranDesert

Two years ago today, our pilot Neville spotted a lone elephant calf during an aerial patrol along the Tiva River in northern Tsavo East. No mother, no herd – and repeated sweeps found no family nearby.
KWS greenlit a rescue and our teams moved in.

Three orphans, three different approaches to getting dirty. Who did it best? 🐘
Daba – throwing dust over his back and thoroughly pleased with himself.
Lumo – turning an ordinary mud bath into an event, sending muddy water everywhere.
Maktao – creating a veil of dust like smoke from a trunk chimney.

Today marks two years since Wamata was rescued! When she was found, Wamata was utterly alone in Tsavo East – a milk-dependent calf who had somehow kept herself alive by eating vegetation. In her early days, she could be found delicately selecting the best leaves while others guzzled milk.

We are *so* close to unlocking the loon! Just a few more people could do it. If you've been waiting, there are just a few days left and this is our final pin unlock, so all the species will be available! 🪶
Working on our last pin unlock now: Loon!
As Minnesotans, this one means a lot to us. A symbol of home, resilience, & neighbors (human & wild) we care for and protect.
A little love letter to everyone who keeps showing up for each other, thank you.
