A question for #histodon folks... Is it important for a professional historian who does not work in academia to create a portfolio? What are the best platforms? Have you seen any outstanding examples you can share?
Having transitioned from a career in graphic design and marketing, I totally understand why portfolios are useful, I just don't quite know how to pivot that knowledge into a new field.

Morning coffee in the garden, listening to red-tailed hawks on the hunt, and the honeybees gathering nectar and pollen from the lemon tree. Visited by this beautiful American Lady butterfly for a few moments, while the dog naps in the sun. Bliss.

No matter how far I live from the ocean, #tallships will always fascinate me. That’s why I did my Masters in early modern maritime history! This was an experimental shot I took using a digital camera through the lenses of a 1952 Argus camera.

Now that the holiday break is over, I’m going to add more #history content into my feed along with my #photography work. Happy 2023!

#throwbackthursday to the best photography trip I’ve ever taken. Newfoundland was on my bucket list for years, and while the reason I traveled there was devastatingly sad (a funeral for a dear friend), the photographs from that trip still take my breath away. Thank you Kim, for sharing your favorite place with us, even though you are no longer with us.

One of my favorite things about living in central Texas is the snails that come out after it rains. It’s like a tiny glimpse into a fairytale world.

I’ve picked up a lot of followers in recent days, so I thought I’d do an #introductionpost. Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a #historian by training & an #archivist by trade. My research specializes in #earlymodern #maritime history. I am a practicing #pagan of a #druidry persuasion & I work as a researcher in a national religious archive that is part of the Christian church. I was once a professional photographer. My feed will be filled with lots of #photography , #history , #folklore , & probably #pirates

For #FungiFriday, how about some Dead Man's Fingers? The spider webs add a certain something, yes? Always a little unnerving when you come upon these in the forest.

For #waterfallwednesday, let’s journey to Southern Wisconsin (USA) to one of my favorite spots. You park in a nondescript patch of gravel just off a meandering highway, and then hike through the woods toward the sound of running water. And then you arrive. Magic.

As we, in the North, walk forward into the light, my friends in the South seek rest in the dark. The balance of nature ties us together, no matter where we are. A Blessed Solstice to all of you, my friends...

Up at 3:45 in the morning because insomnia is a constant companion and fell into the magic of #mosstodon. Thought I’d add one of my own favorite photos. Now off to discover if there is a hashtag specifically for mushrooms…

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!

The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.
