Hi, my name is Indigo and this is my personal website, open to the public. More than a blog, behind the scenes is an image server with ~30k images and videos in the process of being sorted and edited. This is a complete overhaul of my system. At present, there are about 2k images in the public library and this number is steadily increasing as I focus on different subjects. About half the images are from Mexico, minus the butterflies and skies, while I’ve only just started adding photos to several other albums. There were a lot of technical setbacks this year with updates and server problems, but things are back on track now and I hope to have finished reorganizing my system by Spring. Photography is still the main purpose for this site. But besides photos, this year will see the addition of video. A few technical posts have also been written and there will be more as the drones are introduced.
Communication is key, I’ve often said. It goes both ways, too. This site is communication central for me, along with my phone of course. I am available via email or @skysurfer.media on BlueSky. I’m here indefinitely. These days, I have a Facebook account only for the occasional Marketplace purchase or sale, and I have a Discord account since it has all but replaced IRC for developers, though I don’t see any reason to offer technical support here. When possible, all services are self hosted. I also have one profile on an adult site specifically so that content can be age verified and moderated by a third party. If you got here from that site, respect – don’t stalk. This site has no adult content, no user accounts, no paid services, and no advertisements. Any content found elsewhere is either historic or bogus.
Coming Soon! The Skylight, the streaming part of this site, is the only section that may include content from other sources — all else is Copyright Indigo Michaud, skysurfer.media and Skylight Productions — more on this when the live section goes public. The current status is that I have working test streams and programming set up, so it’s just a matter of turning on content, testing, and fixing any unforeseen problems. A recent addition to skysurfer.media is streamer, a Raspberry Pi running a webcam, so once I work out the bugs there will be a 24-hour mobile live stream. There will definitely be more Technical posts on this. The goal in the end is to produce an old-fashioned style Internet TV Channel with my own programming and on-demand access to live streams… which is almost complete. The Skylight is coming…
Feel free to share any of my images for personal use, but give credit. While there is no advertising on this site, feel free to contact me if you want commercial licensing. The blog is divided into Technical, Personal, and Legal for simplification. I have eliminated ‘Archives’ since that’s basically what this whole site is – so Poetry, Photography, and Journal Archives are now main headings. Eventually, this landing page will be the source for scheduled programming and events, as well as current information. So, stay tuned as this site continues to evolve into more of an event based source of media, though I will always be more focused on nature trips and travel, not political protests. And as a reflection of my life, you can always expect a work in progress, even as finished projects come together.
The Legal section of this site will be updated this week. This post explains the current situation.
