Even through everything the sun still rises and sets. Just a reminder to put down the phone, turn off the tv, step away from the computer and go outside. This is something I struggle with, but capturing moments like this remind me to appreciate what’s around me when I can and helps me reset.

I’ve been slacking on posting here, but I’ve started trying to get into the realm of longer format story telling with my pictures. So I’ve decided to start a blog thraxshoots.com/2025/09/03/m...

Well, the first roll through the Electro 35 GSN was a learning experience. I thought I had the film fully rewound, but I did not. I’m probably going to replace the light seals, but there’s still some wonkiness with the exposure stuff and I’m questioning if it’s worth the repair. #filmphotography

Well the yashica wasn’t enough, I decided I needed a point and shoot in my life, I present the Minolta Freedom Tele AF Multibeam. This camera is actually the same camera as the Leica AF-C1. So, For $5 I truly couldn’t resist. #film #analog #filmphotography #minolta #yashica #leica

Corporate America has been waging a war against the trade union movement for a simple reason: They know that union workers earn higher wages and better benefits than non-union workers.

It’s finally here! Did a little exterior cleaning on it (after the picture), got in a new battery with an adapter and validated it gets power. Now to run a roll of film through it and see what happens 🤷‍♂️ #photography #analog #filmphotography #35mm #rangefinder #yashica #kodak

USPS, are you okay? I really wanted my camera on Friday but I don’t think that’s happening anymore 😭

Well, I decided that I wanted to hate myself and money and start to get into film. #photography #filmphotography #analogphotography #film #35mm

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA? MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

I love visiting places different than where I live. Brings a nice change of scenery to rejuvenate my desire to go shooting. Here’s a picture from the MTS as it was starting to sprinkle in San Diego. #sandiego #photography #shotonsony #a7iv #sigma2870mmf28 #travel #publictransit #transportation

So, PHP walks into a bar in 2025. The bartender says, "Hey, haven't seen you since... oh wait, everyone keeps saying you're dead! What'll it be?" PHP replies, "Just a tall glass of 'I told you so,' neat."

Cloud cost optimization isn't about rushing to lock in discounts. It's about understanding if your architecture aligns with your needs first. Sure, RIs and Savings Plans can save money - but only if you're committing to the right resources.
