2 hours have been sunk in post fx and retouching already, and I think it is good to post this here now. What did it take, waking up at 5:30 am after 90 min of planning the night prior, to capture a shadow cast by a sphere of iron and silicate millions of miles away … Continue reading [Photo Story] 2019 Mercury Transit

Here at FWPhys, I would like to celebrate late Dr Carl Sagan’s 85th birthday. Recently, I am revisiting a few books he wrote.

My Personal Device Engravings
I might not qualify as a digital collector / hoarder, yet it is a fact that I did just order another 32GB iPod touch — out of a need to celebrate the end of my UG career, maybe.
