Beautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York. The barely 12 inches tall butterfly bushes I had planted in 1995 had grown into 12 feet tall plants at my back decks. They really are magnets for butterflies. On some days it seems like a computer generated scene, when hundreds of these beautiful creatures are all over the plants. I captured this perfectly positioned butterfly 14 summers ago, with the Nikon D300 I still use. The summer sunlight glow on some elements vs the slightly darker shaded areas in the background made the scene even more magical. © 2010-2024 IMRAN™ #bokeh, #Bushes, #butterflies, #Butterfly, #D300, #EastPatchogue, #flowers, #green, #Home, #IMRAN, #LongIsland, #memories, #Nature, #Nikon, #Patchogue, #radiant, #summerBeautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York.

Absolutely Stunning Blood Red Memorial Day Sunset 2024 On Tampa Bay At Blessed Apollo Beach Home (VidCap) - IMRAN™ It’s only a low resolution video screenshot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max but it gives you an idea of tonight’s stunning Memorial Day 2024 sunset. I captured it at my blessed home on Tampa Bay. This corner of my place in the universe at this moment in space and time has among the greatest sunsets I have seen in all my travels for half a century or more. Tonight was a great example. I said a prayer of gratitude soon after. The Nikon D850 timelapse being captured right now will be posted another day, God permitting. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #TampaBay #ApolloBeach #sunset #nature #photography #MemorialDay #holiday #gratitude #MaghrebAbsolutely Stunning Blood Red Memorial Day Sunset 2024 On Tampa Bay At Blessed Apollo Beach Home (VidCap) - IMRAN™ It’s only a low resolution video screenshot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max but it gives you an idea of tonight’s stunning Memorial Day 2024 sunset.

A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie. But my enjoyment of the movie was likely increased by the active, and I mean active, ball-busting (biting?), role two German Shepherd type Belgian Malinois Dogs play in the action sequences. But the coolest thing to me was the badass poster photo of Keanu Reeves and Halle Barry in the desert with the two dogs. I could not arrange for a sexy co-star and a second dog, but I really wanted to spoof the poster with my own version with Kennedy. Since a visit to a desert location was not practical, we decided to do the shoot right outside the home in Apollo Beach, Florida. It also would have taken a year for my hair to grow to Keanu's hair length. It would also have taken minus 20 years for my stubble to be dark as it was in the past. Lacking a time machine, and feeling certain that Keanu Reeves will not feel his chance of getting the next movie are threatened by me, this is the movie poster for.... IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor). My multi-talented handyman took some great shots with my Nikon D850. In this one Kennedy's and my legs are caught in matching mid-stride and he looks sufficiently menacing (although he was actually smiling thinking we were going for a drive). © 2019-2024 IMRAN™A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie.

Dodged Dogged Double Vision Double Vision - IMRAN™
Exactly five years ago today. The forever smiling Kennedy in the back. Fast-growing K2 in front had been with us a full five weeks. He was just 13 weeks old in this photo.
Both German Shepherds were waiting as I was bringing them a treat. They watched me take this photo of them with my own selfie reflection in the sliding door.
The doubled title words play on there actually being a dual reflection in the double-paned glass. I had to use high contrast to avoid it looking too much like a shaky camera photo.

Stunning Dramatic Dark Clouds & Bright Tampa Bay Florida Sunset, 180° Panorama At Blessed Apollo Beach Home, Autumn 2018 - IMRAN™ This very detailed panorama spans from North to South views of a magnificent late October 2018 Florida sunset from the dock at my blessed home on Tampa Bay. It was created from about half a dozen photos taken with the Nikon D850. A beautiful lover had given it to me as a birthday gift the year before, in 2017. Literally 4 months after this photo, she gave me the second of the three bests gifts ever….. my precious beloved German Shepherd Dog, Kennedy for Valentine's Day in 2019. K2 the next GSD was also her gift in 2020, a year after Kennedy. © 2018-2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Tampa #TampaBay #ApolloBeach #Florida #sunset #panorama #memories #autumn #OctoberSkyStunning Dramatic Dark Clouds & Bright Tampa Bay Florida Sunset, 180° Panorama At Blessed Apollo Beach Home, Autumn 2018 - IMRAN™ This very detailed panorama spans from North to South views of a magnificent late October 2018 Florida sunset from the dock at my blessed home on Tampa Bay.

Besides Being a Gemini, Here’s Why I Always Have Two iPhones- IMRAN™ Well, technically, three iPhones because I’m taking the photo of these two matching iPhone 15 Pro Max devices with the 14 Pro Max. Notice the difference between the two? Notice how the frame around the camera has a hairline crack and the LIDAR area has a chip. So strange, because if the phone had taken any nasty fall or hit then the whole back or edges would’ve been impacted. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Apple #iPhone #devices #gadgetsBesides Being a Gemini, Here’s Why I Always Have Two iPhones- IMRAN™ Well, technically, three iPhones because I’m taking the photo of these two matching iPhone 15 Pro Max devices with the 14 Pro Max.

The magical powers of Amazon, or the weakness of poor UX CX software systems quality assurance? Amazon dog food delivery is Available TODAY -- even though the product is Not Available. Maybe the Amazon trucks have mini-factories to manufacture dog food en route to making a delivery.
In all seriousness, for several years I have described to clients how such a blend of mobile 3D printing, just-in-time manufacturing, and real-time-deliveries will enable the reality of such Customized Mobile Retail sooner than we expect.
Human foods are likely among the first use-cases that will go mainstream. The irony, that basically the centuries old street food vendors concept at a far more flexible and gigantic scale is one of the next big things. What else do you think such convergences will create opportunities for?
