I like taking photos. Big, serious landscape photos with big, serious landscape cameras, film or digital. Lately, though, I’ve been rediscovering the joy of just taking a photo of what’s in front of me, with the camera I have on me - my phone.
It takes a little effort to make sure you don’t look at anything else on there (and spoil the walk), but it’s also a refreshing way to get back to what carrying a small film camera was meant to be - the joy of making an image without thinking about it too much.

I’ve been doing this on my 1.5 mile morning walks to work and it has made me a lot more present. So fun to see what you start to notice when you bring a camera and less iPhone time = 😇✅🆒 The smaller & cheaper the camera the better

Bringing my digicam on walks has helped me pay attention to small and mundane things around me everyday. It’s beautiful capturing a moment that others are living!
Here’s a picture I took of a truck which has a logo that matches the mountain peaks behind it! :)

Another great channel I just remembered. Not as easily digestable as Dr Becky, I found, but way less “current research” focused and they still try to make it approachable without going full pop sci.
Plus they answer some very weird questions in some of their older videos that verge on philosophy (many worlds theory, what would happen if wormholes existed and you tried to travel through one), but staying firmly rooted in the science (math) and without straying into “my encounter with aliens reenacted!!11” territory.

Dr Becky is great. Astronomer at Oxford. I like her content because she covers things in more detail than typical pop sci media, always with references to papers if you really wanna dive down the rabbit hole, but doesn’t shy away from making it approachable either.
