#2 in this retrospective of favourite images from 2025. These are all Kyrgyzstan (do you get the feeling I liked it there?!)
1. Lenin Peak, Kyrgyzstan. One of the easiest 7000+m mountains to climb (apparently, I didnāt go up there) and often used a training ground for Everest.
2. Isla and her friend Matilda walking back to the truck after a morning of āhomeschoolingā that involved a hike up to a viewpoint, artwork in the wildness and clambering over rocks and boulders to learn about mountain safety. The rainbow mountains make a spectacular backdrop!
3. Jess and Otis. This was shot on our way up the Kumtor Gold Mine Route. Captured as a marketing image for Kovered Bags (use code āGLOBALTRACESā for 15% off their bagsā¦ which make awesome Christmas presents!)
4. Crossing a dried up high altitude lake to one of the best park up spots weāve had ā¦ so great we visited twice and spent about 4 days there in total. The park up is unofficially titled āDesert Rock Dreamā in iOverlander (an App we use to find parking places) and it really is an incredible out of the way dreamscape place to hang out.
5. The night before we crossed in to Tajikistan (the other side of those mountains in the background) we parked next to a dried river bed. Fortunately we didnāt park in the river bed, because not long after this was taken the meltwater from the mountains decided to flow through turning a dry river bed to a raging torrent! Before that though, Isla was in her element playing out in the wilds.
Which is your favourite from this set?

I already follow you! I just need to actually be more active scrolling š«£
I have one that I had planned to be just photography too nostr:npub1u79wem4vy9m97y3se08thufa6zvw2wu40m6jjsu4kq8fvmnpkywshce96v but then I just wrapped it all in here instead. Maybe I should resurrect the other channelā¦ or even start it properly š¤£
Followed on both accounts š¤
Imo it makes sense to have one photography dedicated acc bc when you go to the media tab you get something very similar to Instagram page on most Nostr clients. Plus you donāt dilute your followers attention (I rant a lot on various other topics and itās not optimal š)
Interesting. Iāll have to have a better think about then.
My challenge is that my life is all around photography - we travel and I take pictures. And when Iām not travelling in the truck, itās because Iām working, travelling and taking pictures for my clients.
That said, keeping them separate allows me to post images that maybe wouldnāt be as interesting to truck life followers.
Although the final question is what do I hope to achieve with my accounts? Whatās the outcome of posting? Is it just stacking Sats? Sharing my work? Looking for sponsorship? Connecting with others?
I should probably start there and thatāll help clarify whether keeping them distinct or muddling them together is the better option š¤
I use my photography npub to point people to goldgraphy.org, where I sell high-resolution images for sats. Iāve sold 10 so far at 20k sats each. The high-res files are meant for large prints, and I post SD versions on Nostr for free for anyone who just wants a wallpaper or something.
That makes sense.
I still have a love for print hence building the new print sales website. I need to get that able to accept payment in SATs as it canāt currently. Itās on the list!
Thatās one way to do it, but if youāre stuck on someone elseās platform like me (I use SmugMug), this is how I do it: https://www.goldgraphy.org/Store
Itās simpler and more straightforward. You need 5 minutes to set up a description page.
