Heartbreaking news that Om Malik has passed away. I never met him, but I followed his writing for years. It was always a treat when I saw his name show up in my RSS feed. He was one of those voices you assumed would always be there. om.co/2026/06/24/1...

Two years ago today, I turned a corner in New York City and saw this. Once the terror subsided, I asked him if I could take a photo. In classic Michael Myers form, he just stood there, so I took that as a yes. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

Cap de Formentor, Mallorca. I love this island so much – the slower pace of life, the friendly locals, the language, the weather, the light, the sea, the mountains, and the food. It’s always been a place that recharges me – a place that balances the scales when life gets complicated. #photography

This looks like such a cool project.

I’m really looking forward to reading this over the weekend. #photography #leica

@christianspicer.bsky.social Oh, man. This Winona Fighter album is so good! Thanks for sharing it on DLC. music.apple.com/gb/album/my-...

Happy New Year, friends.

The State of React Native 2024 is now open! 🚨🚨🚨 ➡️ stateofreactnative.com We've been running this survey for 3 years & it's become an invaluable resource for learning about React Native's best features and biggest pain points. Share your thoughts and help us shape the whole RN ecosystem!

I got lucky with this one. As I turned a corner I saw him crossing the street. He then stopped, so I had just enough time to turn my camera on and capture the moment. This remains one of my favourite photos, and serves as a nice reminder to take a camera with me whenever I can. #photography

If you're at all interested in #photography, this is worth checking out. Thanks for sharing, Andy.

Hi, everyone! I'm Darryl. I'm a software engineer specialising in mobile development with React Native. In my spare time I really enjoy photography, video games, and travelling. I'm looking forward to connecting with more like-minded people on here. #ReactNative #Photography #Gaming

While I welcome all new apps in the #photography space, I see far too few people talking about @glass.photo. It's extremely well-made and has a brilliant web counterpart. I love the ability to search by camera or lens, and their new Series feature is great. glass.photo/darrylyoung

This post by @samuel.bsky.team was an interesting read, and is definitely worth checking out if you're a React Native developer (if you are, let's connect). Congratulations, Samuel, to you and the rest of the Bluesky team — the app looks and feels great. #ReactNative mozzius.dev/post/3l777nh...

It's about time I played this.

Saul Leiter: The Centennial Retrospective Perfect for a rainy Sunday.

Windblown looks incredible. Dead Cells is one of my favourite games, so I'm all in with whatever Motion Twin decide to do next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=shPy...

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 don’t forget to turn off motion smoothing on your parent’s TV 📺

I remember the day I got Half Life. It brought my PC to its knees, but it didn't stop me from playing it. Just last week I was randomly thinking about it, and today it's celebrating its 25th anniversary with a big update. I can't wait to play it on the OLED Steam Deck! half-life.com/en/halflife25/

These recaps are so cool. Thanks for all the hard work, @knoebel.bsky.social.

I’m really enjoying playing Dredge on my Steam Deck. It’s such a nice change of pace after recently playing a lot of Dead Cells, Hades, and 20XX. store.steampowered.com/app/1562430/...

The Fujifilm X100V is, by far, the most beautiful camera I've ever owned. Just sitting there, it wants to be picked up and used. It's the perfect camera to always have on you, ready to capture those fleeting, everyday moments.
