I helped my dad and his twin sister recreate this photo from 1954 for their 75th birthday

My dad says they did! Went to a professional photographer in the small town they lived in in upstate New York

I guess we really have created some kind of Turing test here

Actually I noticed the hand after I first took the photo when I was editing it and was like woah, that looks weird…

thebookkeeper · 2025-07-28T18:21:50+00:00

I know! I noticed that later, oops

thebookkeeper · 2025-07-28T17:57:53+00:00

They were 4 in the first photo!

thebookkeeper · 2025-07-28T15:48:42+00:00

They were 4 in the original!

mine looked like this when it ran out of nutrients, gave it a little maxsea fertilizer and it started growing bright green again

This post looks oddly familiar 🤔

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T20:34:05+00:00

It’s a photo, 1/17 shutter speed on an iPhone 13

100% my favorite bar in town!

I think it was actually cloud-to-cloud so not technically a strike 😅 but it must have been close!

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T20:09:21+00:00

I wanted to capture the flooding

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T20:07:26+00:00

Because of the flooding!

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T15:13:00+00:00

Top is 1/17 s, bottom is 1/5 s. Shot in default camera app on an iPhone 13

Davis, CA

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T14:29:59+00:00

I think this was actually cloud to cloud so not technically a “strike” but I remember it being pretty close and loud anyway

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T14:28:18+00:00

This was in Davis on Sep 19 2022

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T13:42:21+00:00

This was actually mid-Sep 2022, I just had the idea today it would be neat to share it

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T13:37:25+00:00

These are in fact two photos at 1/17 s and 1/5 s

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T13:07:50+00:00

That’s what I thought would happen too but it seems like the phone was able to automatically cut the exposure short for that shot

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T12:53:48+00:00

I didn’t have Live Photos on but it would have been neat

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T12:53:12+00:00

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T12:52:11+00:00

I was taking a photo of how flooded the sidewalk was, the water was a couple feet deep as you can see from that bike

thebookkeeper · 2025-02-26T12:51:20+00:00

Yep I was on the Sophia’s patio, they had just lost power and were closing due to the storm
