Ken Lee Photography
Mysterious Lockheed Lodestar on some forbidden nocturnal grassland in Kansas. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I used a handheld flashlight capable of producing different colors, illuminating the scene with warm white and red light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

I'm really excited by #YA #Lodestar Award finalists for the #Worldcon
These books are extraordinary reads for ANY age.
I loved and nominated 3 of the finalists:
Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, by Charlie Jane Anders @charliejane
Bloodmarked, by Tracy Deonn
The Golden Enclaves, by Naomi Novik
(I'm sure the only reason I didn't nominate the others on the list is that I haven't read them yet...a mistake I will rectify!)
Read these books!
