Yes, our phones can take all sorts of funky and creative #portraits, but back in the 1840s a few lucky humans had access to #Daguerreotype cameras, and they too captured the people that tickled their aesthetic fancy with this brand new #technology. #Museum

I’ve seen a lot of #art in my life and plenty of it has been weird, but this family portrait, John Christian Rauschner’s “Father, Mother, and Child in a Park," made of wax is in its own category. #Museum @baggins_bow @metmuseum .

While at the @metmuseum we ran into John Singleton Copley’s 1771 portrait of Daniel Crommelin Verplanck and it turns out that my husband, @baggins_bow, has an exciting relationship to Singleton Copley. #Museum #Family #History #Art @NationalGallery.

Best thing about the summer? The native #garden my husband @baggins_bow plants and nurtures. Here’s the tale of the garden’s delightful ups and less delightful downs this year! With great photos to boot! #WritingCommunity #Birding #nature .

At some point gender will do its thing and he won’t look so much like me, but at 11, Santiago’s still my mini me! #HappyBirthday #Birthday #Motherhood

My husband @baggins_bow conversing with @mrophiophagus on all things #birding in Nepal and North Dakota. They make both of these very different locations sound absolutely fascinating! #Birds #Nature #WritingCommunity.

“I fear the possible sameness that AI will feed us. That we may be less apt to create something different, weird, and unique, because the AI is convincing us that what it is providing is optimized for the best possible impact.” #AI #WritingCommunity.

#Museums make me really happy, and according to this photo the @metmuseum makes me exuberantly so. Santiago doesn’t look it here, but he loved exploring the #Egyptian art section. #ILoveNewYork @baggins_bow
