Hi everyone, Jim Graves here, moving to mastoart.social from another instance as it's gone a bit quiet over there.
I have a blog where I publish my thoughts and experiences with film photography each and every Wednesday at 9am UK time.
This week I talk about the Merry Mersey Meet Up in Liverpool in late 2025.

@Jim_Graves Hello and welcome! It's lovely to have you join us here on mastoart.social.

Since you're not new to Mastodon, you probably won't need any help settling in, but if you should ever have questions, my co-admin @Kitty and I are here for you.

@Jim_Graves Hello and welcome from me too

@Jim_Graves Welcome Jim, this is a nice place to hang out - I made the move fairly recently too.

[jim_graves@mastoart.social]

@bestiaexmachina @Kitty Thank you for the welcome. I have been "over there" for a while, but the view looks much nicer "over here". I was going to close my mastodon account, but I shall give this instance a try for the foreseeable future. Thanks for having me.

@StevenLawsonPhotography Hi Steve, good to see you here. There's a lot of names I am seeing for the first time and a lot I haven't seen for quite a while over here.

[kaiser_franz@infosec.exchange]

@Jim_Graves Seeing you on the other side! Glad you made the decision to move to a place that fits you better.

[jim_graves@mastoart.social]

@kaiser_franz Thanks Kaiser

@Jim_Graves Jim, something that might interest you - I have a pinned post at the top of my timeline about a wee event called #MonochromeMarch.
The idea is to only shoot black and white images in March and post them here, as few or as many as you like and whenever you can, all with that hashtag. No rules, just new B&W work.
It would be good to have you onboard, and if the idea appeals, please spread the word.

@Jim_Graves Welcome!

[jim_graves@mastoart.social]

@StevenLawsonPhotography It's rare I shoot anuthing other than B&W, Steven. It would be rude not to take part.

[jim_graves@mastoart.social]

@tapasinthesun Thank you, Rom

@Jim_Graves Good man
