my entire family got sick so i have been in the unenviable position of suddenly being load-bearing, and i'd greatly appreciate if that was not the case

Hopefully your family gets well soon, it really blows when you're the only healthy in a household.

So far so good, I'm finishing a photo project I started last week and the band that commissioned me is so far happy as hell with the images they're getting. They're even going to be giving me a shirt and a copy of their album when it releases.

I can't share the images until they get the ones they're happy with but I'll definitely share those over on my PixelFed when I'm done with them.

I've also got it down to just Lightroom holding me on Windows, I'm planning to learn some of the open source alternatives once I'm done with this project as not only has Windows over stayed it's welcome so has the Adobe suite. My plan is to leave Windows (ideally) before the end of March.

Your Mt St Helens photo is beautiful!

Thank you!

I'm particularly proud of that one, I was hoping to give a couple other local peaks the same treatment this last year but the conditions just didn't align right with my time off.

There's hope for this year though!

Beautiful photography!!

How do you like PixelFed?

I’m in the process of establishing a nonprofit. I know I’ll have to manage the usual social media sites, but I’m looking at starting accounts on alternatives too.

Thank you!

Pixelfed is pretty chill overall IMO, especially with how it's algorithm is implemented. Chronological and only what you follow unless you look for things, things it's just chronological.

I'd recommend keeping your work social media accounts separate from personal accounts, it makes things easier to maintain and easier to keep a public image.

Good to know, looking to swap out Instagram for Pixelfed as I am tired of the Negative Nancys and Nicholases I come across on that platform. 😂
