Photography I Created
James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano, was paid $3M by HBO to reject a $5M offer to be the new boss on The Office. We should really be paying people like @darrenhayes to not sell out our high school memories for food mountain.
Everybody, through this lockdown, please think of the birds
You used to call me on my landline, late night when you neeeed my love

A year on year decrease in traffic might lead one to say that the media is incentivised to encourage Trump-like politics.
Yes
Forgive me for thinking that the Victorian government doesn’t know what is going on.
I just transited through Melbourne Airport from Tugun (Gold Coast) to Hobart.
Applying for a transit permit: fine. Getting the travel permit: you’ve been in an orange or red zone (no I haven’t) Arriving in Victoria: “let me check with my supervisor, I think we need to escort you” An hour after arriving in Hobart: You need to quarantine.
Get it together guys.
One of my favourite views is from a few thousand feet above earth at sunset
“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
I hope people will recognise us by our children. That knowledge of their kindness, joy, and peace would go before them.

Widgets on iPadOS 15 are glorious. A year late, but glorious.
Apple Photos thinks Britt and I had couple photos taken in Tenerife to commemorate a day Australia celebrates killing horses because we gamble on them. Algorithms are fun.

I’m going to start trying to make wedding photos professionally
I really enjoy making photos.
This photo is one of my favourites, it’s of an unknown hiker taking a breather at Taft Point in Yosemite National Park.
Something I’m struggled with for the longest time is that I identify as a celebrant, that’s what I do, but I really enjoy making photos of, and for, people.
If you’ve been married by me, you’ve probably received a text message after your wedding with a sneaky photo, and an apology to your photographer for cutting their grass.
That’s my modus operandi, I’m already at an epic location for a sweet wedding, and there’s another photographer there directing, creating, expressing, and I steal a shot in the background. Most are pretty cool with it, and some, like my mate James Day, have been encouraging me in it for a while now. But it’s a bit cheap of me to steal other people’s shots, the real thing to do, is to make my own.
So today when I met with a couple about making photos at their wedding I felt so excited at the prospect of a new avenue of creativity for me, and the possibility of creating meaningful and enjoyable work for you.
I don’t have a photography website, or portfolio, or packages, or prices. I’ve been a wedding celebrant for over 12 years now, and I love doing that, but somewhere along the way I’ll figure out how me making photos can be a thing I market, but for now, feel free to check out the really quick portfolio I made with Adobe today so I had something to show the couple today, at www.joshwithers.photos and if you’re willing to take a bet on a celebrant making photos at your wedding, slide on in to those DMs

FaceTime - 6.0/iOS15/Monterey - links to join a chat are easy and beautiful, and much more elegant than a Zoom link if it’s just a simple chat. I can see them taking the place of many a meeting.
