I’m well on my way to Photography Retirement. Why, you might ask? Well, a quick update to The China Situation:

Website traffic to this here blog originating from China is now up to 50%, 70%, 83%, 85% (!!!). As previously discussed (See: 2025 11 07; 2025 11 24, 2025 12 11), once we hit 100% I will officially retire as a photographer and switch my career to moving carts at Costco. A quick search of why so many of the visits are coming from China will tell you it’s most likely due to bots training ai models. My consistent, daily flow of Top Notch imagery is essentially training my replacement.

Have a nice day!
