@flo It was our pleasure! Thank you for going to the effort of writing your explanatory post. I relate completely to your love of documenting family moments and I appreciate that you shoot from behind your kids to show their perspective.

@jean Haha I’ll never live that one ridiculous instance down, but you’re right! 😂 I honestly thought that it would be a collapsed/compressed thing with a ‘see more’ link… oh well!

@pratik Oh, I agree! You definitely need to capitalise the beginning of a new sentence.

@martinfeld

@pratik On iPhone, by default, the shift key illuminates when you start a new sentence, meaning that you don’t have to tap it. (I prefer to tap it.) The setting is auto-capitalisation.

@pratik Funny you say that! Mine is permanently off and I also have the automatic shift key deactivated! 😂

It’s strange to photograph my son in the same places where I was photographed at his age.

@Burk Does ‘changing up everything’ mean replacing all cameras with that?

@jimmitchell Much appreciated! Reading comments like yours definitely makes it worth recording and editing the show.

@jean, thanks for all that you've done for the community here on Micro.blog! This is such a wonderful place on the Web and I really appreciate the effort that you've put in over the years with @manton. Not to mention, @HemisphericViews with @Burk and @canion wouldn't exist, which is just one of numerous ways in which Micro.blog has positively affected my life.

Hi, @flo! That is an awesome photo! I like it so much that I discussed it with @burk on episode 02 of our new 3x2 Photocast, which you can find at 3x2.pics. No pressure to listen to it, I just thought that you’d like to know!

@jemostrom A nice idea! What do you enjoy photographing most and what kinds of site (or subject) are you hoping to reach more efficiently with a bike?

@ericmwalk Thank you! He loves it too! Amusingly, there’s a button that makes the helmet spikes strobe and his scooter’s wheels also illuminate when they spin, so he’s a travelling light show. 😂

After several years, it was fantastic to see The Cat Empire perform again—this time, at Taronga Zoo in Sydney!

We enjoyed visiting Sydney Aquarium today, despite the numerous idiots who got in the way as they looked at every exhibit through their phones. Some even live-streamed the whole venue to their friends…

We Felds had a marvellous Christmas Day, including an awesome lunch and banoffee pie by my mum, fantastic multi-layered chocolate cake by @NTKF and a visit from Stumpy the King Parrot (a regular recipient of seeds).
