Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade /  by Adrian Galli

Darkness looms over many today—even those who celebrate realize not what they wrought.

 
“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me”
— Martin Niemöller
 

Macro Photowalk /  by Adrian Galli

Enjoying the second day of summer, the heat has dissipated a bit and it was a beautiful evening to take a short walk after work. They say, “Stop and smell the roses.” I say, “Stop and take some photos.”

Wide angle macro photography is very challenging but some of my favorite work. Whether with iPhone 13 Pro or my Laowa 15mm Macro, the peculiarity and brilliant perspective of wide macro always catches the eye.

Nature Walk in the Heat /  by Adrian Galli

Much of the USA has been hit with a height heat warning and Chicago got some pretty steamy conditions. The high today, 36° C (96° F), and with it mostly clear, it was even hotter in the sun. But I love the heat and took to a nature walk. Just enjoying the local flora and fauna—with a little iPhone 13 Pro macro photography included.
