This time of year here in western #massachusetts we have what is known as ‘mud season’. Snow is melting, ground is thawing, and as you can imagine everything turns to mud. It’s not pretty, so Diana went looking for spring in a greenhouse nearby. #photography #photostr #artstr

Went to visit a parking lot in New Jersey that I first photographed in the summer of 2023. Amazing how these arrows and the asphalt have weathered in 18months. Didn’t have the real camera with me unfortunately. -Tom #artstr #photostr #photography #newjersey #nostr

It’s true, we sell prints of our #photography and you can pay with #bitcoin too. #artstr #photostr View quoted note →

Shoveling snow is now up there with taking a shower as a way for me to clear my my mind and allow new ideas and thoughts to flow. What works for you? #nostr

You could write an urban love story based on this photograph. London, 2009. Happy Valentine’s Day! #nostr #photostr #photography #london #artstr

Currently brainstorming assorted combinations of freestanding solar panels with a battery pack to mine satoshis through the spring and summer with a Bitaxe. If anyone has any experience or bright ideas lmk. Massachusetts energy is expensive so I’d rather use the giant fusion reactor in the sky. #bitcoin #asknostr #nostr View quoted note →

Can anyone recommend a checkout experience that could be used for clients where they are sent a link and can either pay by card or bank transfer in USD or #bitcoin and whatever they use it flows through to your wallet as BTC? I believe Zaprite offers this at a cost of $25 per month, but does anyone else? It has to look good and of course be secure and trustworthy. #asknostr

This was good, and the answer of course is no. View quoted note →

I’d call this proof of work. View quoted note →

New work alert! We published our latest art drop yesterday. In Art Drop 21: The Long Way Home I wrote about wandering and exploring by car, with camera. I have really come to enjoy carving out the time to take the long way home from my errands. It’s been an effective way to learn more about this corner of Massachusetts we now call home, and it has led to some memorable interactions that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. You can read more at the link below and see a bunch of new and previously unseen photographs. My photograph ‘Upper West Lot’ is only available until Feb 7th. -Tom

I enjoyed seeing this on our kitchen wall this morning, some unexpected lightplay. Might have to get deliberate with this if the morning light is going to continue providing the opportunity. -Tom #photography #photostr #artstr
