I used #PortfolioDay as my motivation to finally finish redoing my photo site: photos.shom.dev/
I'm am a photographer and I enjoy landscape and underwater photography. I've been shooting mostly film lately and trying to get better at developing & scanning at home, I also hope to be able to darkroom print one day. Film has reinvigorated my love for photography and I've found a great community here on the Fediverse, thank you!
The older works don't have alt-text but I'm working on adding it to all photos. Please share any ideas or feedback you have. I would also love to hear stories about folks who started in digital and have fallen deeper and deeper in the film rabbit hole process.

Altro che droni! Ora comandiamo i coleotteri con il joystick. Ecco a voi i Cyber-Coleotteri
Gli scienziati dell’Università del Queensland hanno presentato un’invenzione insolita che può accelerare significativamente le operazioni di ricerca e soccorso. Hanno trasformato i comuni coleotteri (Zophobas morio) in veri e propri insetti cibernetici, dotandoli di microchip miniaturizzati e di un sistema di controllo remoto.
Questi “super soccorritori” sono dotati di zaini rimovibili dotati di componenti elettronici che permettono di indirizzare gli insetti nella giusta direzione. Il controllo avviene tramite joystick simili a quelli utilizzati nei videogiochi. Grazie a questo, è possibile controllare con precisione i movimenti dei coleotteri senza danneggiarli o comprometterne la durata di vita.
L’idea di utilizzare gli insetti in compiti complessi come la rimozione di detriti da edifici crollati o da miniere non è nata per caso. Secondo il responsabile del progetto, il Dott. Tang Vo-Doan, i coleotteri possiedono già di per sé straordinarie capacità naturali. Si muovono agilmente su superfici complesse, si insinuano nelle fessure più strette e si arrampicano con sicurezza su superfici verticali, laddove le attrezzature tradizionali e persino i robot in miniatura sono impotenti.
Gli zaini sono costruiti utilizzando elettrodi che inviano segnali alle antenne del coleottero o alle sue elitre, le placche protettive rigide che ricoprono le sue ali. In questo modo, il team riesce a far muovere gli insetti nella giusta direzione. Sono già stati condotti test con successo: i coleotteri si muovono con sicurezza sia orizzontalmente che verticalmente verso l’alto e sono persino in grado di sollevare un carico aggiuntivo pari al loro peso.
Sebbene alcuni test siano attualmente in corso utilizzando una fonte di alimentazione esterna, gli sviluppatori stanno già preparando prototipi migliorati con batterie compatte e telecamere miniaturizzate. Ciò consentirà non solo di monitorare i movimenti dell’insetto, ma anche di ricevere immagini in tempo reale dalla scena, fondamentale per le operazioni di soccorso.
Il team prevede di testare la nuova tecnologia in situazioni di emergenza reali nei prossimi cinque anni. Se il progetto supererà con successo le fasi di implementazione, i cyber-bug saranno in grado di ispezionare rapidamente le macerie, trovare sopravvissuti e trasmettere informazioni ai soccorritori, il che accelererà significativamente l’erogazione dei soccorsi.
Il lavoro degli scienziati dell’Università del Queensland si inserisce in una tendenza globale volta a creare tecnologie bioibride. Sviluppi simili sono già in corso in diversi Paesi. Ad esempio, gli specialisti della Nanyang Technological University di Singapore trasformano gli scarafaggi in “robot” controllati in pochi minuti, e diversi anni fa i bioingegneri hanno creato una versione cibernetica della pianta di Venere acchiappamosche, in grado di afferrare con delicatezza piccoli oggetti.

Repairing the World with LEGO (10 Photos)
What If LEGO Could Repair the World?
German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project. Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.🔗 Follow Jan Vormann on Instagram
The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs
Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.More like this: Ememem – Repairing Streets with Artful Mosaics
How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces
Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.
LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities
Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.
