I think that a lot of pundits forget that most people just want to be able to enjoy social media instead of having to fight with people. Arguing online has no real value if your goal is to be a happy person. We have interests outside of politics.

The Elizabeth River is pretty much all ship related industry and has been since the early 1600s. You can see the very southern end of Norfolk Naval Shipyard which is actually in Portsmouth. Shot on Kodak 400tx with my Mamiya 645 1000s #filmphotography #believeinfilm

We've been in a really significant drought all year. So what does it do for my 4 day holiday, rain everyday nearly all day. Boo!!!! I want to do lots of outdoor activities including photography.

Alla Nazimova, 1918. The photographer isn’t noted but was most likely Hendrick Sartov of The Hoover Art Studio in L.A. The portrait was commissioned by Alla’s own production company for Metro with whom she made eleven films between 1918 and 1921. #botd

It’s not just that we will miss one of the most consistently funny, astutely perceptive and topically necessary shows on television, it’s that we will miss getting to spend a little time each night with one of the most genuine, authentic hosts ever to do it.

Thank you Paula. The book is wonderful. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Aft of a ship. Not sure tue flag maybe British Virgin islands. I looked the name up when I was there and appeared to be a Russian billionaire's boat. This is os a sailing ship well over 100 feet. It's huge. Shot on Kodak TMAX400 with my Mamiya 645 1000s #filmphotography #believeinfilm

I was going through my color film & saw all expired 2021 or 2022. I remembered that I stocked up before the pandemic prices changes. I miss $35-40 5 packs of Portra.

They are doing monster trucks racing on the beach thos weekend. Not likely to be attending but cool to see a few of the trucks. Its so pretty this morning with us finally getting some humidity. Will be hot today.

My coffee shot. If you have the opportunity to see a su rise, take it. Your mind requires it.

When I was down for sunrise, I saw the USS Ford coming back. I will he interested in hearing what actually happened in tue Suez Canal that caused the fire. I'm sure we will all find out soon enough.

Snack time of the year. My blueberries are coming in strong. I was really worried as it was so dry they shriveled. Some watering helped most of the berries.

Stewartville, California (ghost town) At Black Diamond Mines, now a beautiful preserve for hiking and observing about a dozen raptor species. It's one of my favorite East Bay Parks to photograph. #infrared #photography

Under the bridge. Some early morning photos before the clouds.

Sunrise. Virginia Beach, Virginia

A little sunrise or just before at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. This is shooting out into the ocean. The "calm" water is because the current from the outgoing tide is very strong. Never swim right here as its super dangerous. #photography #sunrise

It was sprinkles when I grabbed coffee but I still wanted to shoot. I needed to push 400tx to 1600 so I could hand hold the camera. I like how it handles 1600. Mamiya 645 1000s and Kodak 400tx @1600. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Our weather has been wacky since January. March through April were either 85-90 or cold. Today in early May, I have the heat on while we get a coastal storm maybe 20-25 degrees below normal.

California Buckeye, at Briones Our regional metro parks system is the largest in the USA. Redwood forests and coastal trails are within 15 mins of the heart of the city. My favorite: the miles and miles of rolling hills rippling out from the Diablo Range. False-color #infrared #photography #EBRPD

For those who have an account on the hairy elephant.
