Hey there! I just moved here from Utah for a new job and I thought I would put some of my photography work out in some local circles. I have been working as a freelance photographer for a little over 5 years, and if there's anyone needing some photo help or just wanna get into photography, I'd love to chat. I shoot lets of film, plenty of digital and try to keep it pretty old school with my equipment.

If anyways wants to check out more of my work or just chat over Instagram:

I'd love to just get in touch with anyone interested in some photography in the area. It's my biggest passion, and I'd love to just connect with some of you through it.

I was walking on Rivermont and noticed a speed trailer on the side of the road. I also noticed a camera mounted on the back and was able to take a couple pictures. I ran it through a search engine and it seems to be an AXON license plate camera called Outpost. A quick google search on AXON and I found some interesting articles that are concerning.

Why do we have to have license plate readers at all?

Is this something city council approved?

Feeling a little conflicted about celebrating America’s 250th birthday this year?

Come celebrate anyway.

The reason so many of us organize, protest, volunteer, and defend democracy is because we love this country. Patriotism means working to build an America that lives up to its ideals of liberty, equality, and justice for all.

Join us for an evening of community, conversation, live music, food trucks, and fireworks as we gather at Downtown LYH’s Independence Jam!

Our Commitment to Nonviolence

A core principle behind every Indivisible LYH event is a commitment to nonviolent action.

We expect everyone to help create a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere by:

• Remaining calm and respectful.

• De-escalating any potential confrontation.

• Not arguing or debating with people who disagree with our values.

• Following all laws and event guidelines.

• Leaving all weapons at home, including those that may be legally carried.

Let’s enjoy an evening celebrating community, democracy, and the freedoms we continue working together to protect.

See you at Riverfront Park! 🇺🇸

Hey Lynchburg I have been growing a colony of Ukraine pied Isopods for some time now and have a bunch of juveniles ready to go to a new home! They are great in bioactive enclosures working as a clean up crew kinda like springtails do. They are fun to watch and can be an educational tool for young children and adults as well. They grow to about 1 inch big and pretty much take care of themselves. You can feed them premade isopod food or their favorite is cork bark and cattappa leaves. You can also feed them certain vegetables if you blanche them. You can get them 10 for 15$ or 2$ a piece 😍. I will also make sure you have a care guide and answer any questions you might have for setting up your bioactive enclosure or about the isopods themselves! One last thing these are not good feeder insects as they grow a hard shell. Ok thank you!!
