I wasn't planning on it this year. I'm still not planning on it, but maybe a little less so.

I applied to this once and wasn't accepted, but then got into the current job I have now a day later. I think if I apply again and don't get it, I could end up with a promotion. Either way, I can't lose.

NO LIGHT LEAKS. I can pretty comfortably say that the 50 year old camera that I got for a steal works as good as it did the day it was made.

They should keep it this way, Peter Stormare is the GOAT

It has arrived

Ordered a Minolta SR-T 101, so fingers crossed I won't need to put too much maintenance into a new-to-me 50 year old 35mm camera.

Absolute sweeps all over the country, and this morning I wake up and find our city has elected its mayor to a third term so he can continue his mission to prepare our region for the Climate Wars. I kind of wish that were an exaggeration but honestly I'm kinda into it.

It's election day Don't forget to go vote. Also don't forget to go birds.

Little Caesar's Detroit Style is what happens when you take the starting weapon in an RPG and max out it's stats and I will not elaborate further.

#NoKings #SanDiego gathering at the civic center plaza

Disc golf with da fellas today at Morley Field in San Diego

This guy keeps looking at my fries

Replacing my traditional overpriced pre flight airport bourbon with an overpriced pre flight airport burrito. The fact that it's not even 6am has nothing to do with it.

bonjour

10/10 no notes, if you don't watch this, then there will be a part of your life that will remain empty and unfulfilled. Allegedly.

What's the secret door for? Weird answers only, I think it's for a secret 4th branch of government that is ran entirely by cryptids and mole people.

Being in a crossover nexus between politics and Twitch streaming while trying to maintain a positive outlook used to have me feeling despair but I've seen multiple streamers breaking the barrier and opening up about the current state of affairs in the US and it's refreshing.

Just an advisory for people going to #TwitchCon San Diego this year, the Saturday of TwitchCon, Oct 18th, there will be protests part of a national day of protests about a mile north of the convention starting in the morning. The last major protest rally in June drew about 60k people.

Finally deleted twitter. Kept it around for the sake of holding onto my name and account, but it's nothing more than a violent cesspool of hate, bot accounts, and some of the worst takes possible. There is no justification for maintaining an account there.

Speculative Fiction Exam, Fall 2025: What the fuck?

My 9 to 5 has been wild, and morphed into a 4 to "Whenever the Sunrise Happens" recently but that hell is finally over. Acquired a Fuji mirrorless for funsies, and stocking up on film in preparation for TwitchCon next month. Gonna try to get out to some local state parks here soon too.

What I'm learning from this thread and article is that people are taking a single quote and appearance by a public figure, reading a single point of view, and making up a story to attach to a public figure they already had no intention of supporting just so they could publicly justify why.

A couple shots from a recent trip in the pacific northwest. Got several nice portraits of friends too but those are personal photos. Shot with portra 400 and tmax 400 b&w on the minolta. Definitely motivated for the next big film outing in Oct for TwitchCon San Diego

This is actually going to be a horror series

Unintentionally made the sickest advertisement for Santa Cruz bicycles when some rando rode in front of my shot

Today's view for lunch

10/10 photo right before our good friends wedding.

Hell yeah, arrived 5 days early. Taking this with me to the PNW in a couple of weeks. Gonna have some leftover Fujifilm and Ultramax with me as well. Hopefully I don't piss off TSA too much when I ask them to handcheck it all.

Ohio Rally For Democracy at the Columbus Statehouse, photo thread starts here It was a scorcher, you could locate groups of protestors by where the shade was on the grounds of the courthouse. Several speakers followed by a march around downtown Cbus. Plenty of volunteers on site handing out water

Breaking news: it is very warm in Columbus today

Took some photos of a friend's cat during an evening hangout tonight. Her name is Callie and I love her. I also have a flickr set up because oh buddy, these images are starting to take up some space. www.flickr.com/photos/20297... Tomorrow, taking a drive to photograph the Columbus protests.

Indiana Jones and the rescheduled dissertation defense

The Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 soundtrack is like no other. I am a bit of a gamer. This soundtrack evokes an emotional response that I just can't quite explain. Gaming is truly a form of artistic expression.

Another great #nokings thread from this last weekends protests in #toledo #ohio

Photos from a photographer at the #NoKings protest in #Toledo #Ohio today that I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with.

Hello, #NoKings Protest photos in downtown #Toledo #Ohio Thread Starts Here

Had a camera malfunction and exposed a full roll so if you'll excuse me I'm going to sulk for about 20 minutes and move on. On the bright side, I'll be out tomorrow covering local protests and next month? PNW.

I told my cat a joke, she thinks i'm funny.

A photo thread, except this one was from a trip to NYC last month with some friends, with a film camera, in black and white and color film. Here's part 1

Farm Labor Organizing Committee march and rally for immigration reform and workers' rights The thread starts here. #FLOC #Toledo #Ohio #immigration #workersrights

A party that emulates the current US Administration and loses, with the party's leader also losing their seat in Parliament. Didn't this just happen in Canada this week, too?

I don't celebrate either Easter or the Funny Number Weed Day, so instead today was "Comical amount of carbs" Day and I think even that was overdoing it.

First post in a thread of photos from today's #FiftyFiftyOne Protest in #toledo Organized by #ToledoPersists and #LucasCountyDemocrats
