Devastated. 😭

Elephant seals at the Año Nuevo State Park nature preserve from a photo walk a couple weeks ago.

I mean, should I blow $100 on a Nintendo Virtual Boy replica for the Switch?? Seems like an awful and great use of money. www.nintendo.com/us/store/com...

Earlier this week, I got to visit the Año Nuevo State Park nature preserve in Pescadero. This preserve is known for its elephant seal population and it did not disappoint! Definitely a spot for fans of nature. #photography #elephantseals #mammals #sonya7rv #sony100400mm

Spending some time in nature was a healthy way to disconnect from all the nonsense of the world. Here’s a sneak peek of an elephant seal from a recent photo walk I did on a California beach. More to come!

So far, I’m loving the v3.0 Animal Crossing update: - Hotel and new tasks are a fun addition - LOVE being able to craft up to 10 Items at a time (almost feels like cheating, after years of going one by one) - Definitely enjoying sharper graphics on Switch 2

Wait, what? Venezuela? What is going on now. 😐

Happy New Year!!

2025 Theater photo appreciation post! I had the privilege to capture many shows this year, and here are some of my favorites. #photographersunited #theaterphotography

It only took me 11 years, but I finally watched The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (extended, of course), and I'm annoyed I waited so long. It kind of surprised me how much I enjoyed it. It may not feel as epic as LOTR, but it's more Middle Earth adventure, I'm okay with that.

Could not love this any more than I do. It's perfection.

Oh man, I'm excited for this one. 👀

Big fan of these updates Godox are making to their flash lineup. The AD300 Pro II looks like another winner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XY2...

Music is fascinating. Just listened to Near Wild Heaven by REM and in an instant, I was overcome with memories of listening to the song in high school, the car I was driving at the time, the people I was hanging out with... and it just made me feel, well, feelings. What a beautiful thing. 😊

I spent way too long thinking I could make a cool dramatic edit on this picture I took of a fridge on the street.

Insomnia at 4am was not on my to-do list today.

Time to do a thing! A photo a day for all of November... 30 days, 30 black and white photos with the Fuji X100VI. Why? Because sometimes you just gotta make the creativity happen. Here’s my first day! November 1, 2025: Cherry on a stair, staring.

In this last week, I’ve watched: Weapons Bring Her Back The Thing The Black Phone Making up for lost horror movies (I’d not seen) and it’s been a blast.

2025 San Jose Rock N Roll Half Marathon complete! My 21st half marathon AND a PR. Couldn’t ask for a better race. 🙏🏻

Hihi - I've been offline from socials BUT posting regularly on my blog with daily paintings! I dunno - sup? how are y'all? It's clearly terrible out here in war-ravaged Portland! estellatse.com/blog/2025/9/...

Wait! Here's a better shot of our new neighbor, the praying mantis.

We have a praying mantis now.

If you're not listening to Bob Moses, you are missing out. This is from their concert in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall on September 18th. Incredible show.

Relevant now more than ever.

A cat from our walk for your timeline.

Retail therapy this week - Preordered the Apple AirPods Pro 3 because I sweat like a monster when I run.

Happy Apple Event Day to those who celebrate.

Yup, can't wait for this one.

Really looking forward to this one. 🤩 I just backed The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema - A to Z of Film on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/463...

Giving @letterboxd.social a go for tracking movie viewings (after a looooong hiatus. 😁) Any other movie fans there that want to connect? letterboxd.com/remfan/

Head Over Heels • July 17, 2025 • Directed by Jeffrey Bracco This week I'm sharing new photos from Head Over Heels, performing at City Lights Theater in San Jose. What an incredible and FUN show! #thegogos #musicaltheater #theatrephotography #theater #theaterphotography #sonyalpha #sonya7iv

We finally saw Superman over the weekend and I loved it. If you're a fan of superhero movies, you'll like it too. If you're a fan of dogs, you'll like it even more. (I'm both, so win/win.)

I have been VERY anxious to see @bsky.app increase video quality. Looks like an update went through yesterday so here are some sea turtles!

“Such a great day this Fourth of July“, said our dog, Cherry, never.

First time charging my Mach E at a Tesla Supercharger! The nearby Electrify America stations were either out of order or in use with a wait, so I’m grateful to have this as an option. Finally getting to try out that NACS adapter and it’s working flawlessly.

Been using the Sequel app to track movies & tv shows watched (and want to watch) for about a month now. It's the cleanest and easiest app I've seen BY FAR. Definitely check it out if you're looking to keep track of your media consumption. 🙂

Watched Dark City the other night (for the first time in 4K!) and holy smokes this is the version I've been waiting for since it was released on DVD forever ago. Looks and sounds just fantastic and it still holds up as one of my top 10 favorite films.

Downtown San Jose at Cesar Chavez Park and those iconic fountains. Shot with the iPhone 16 Pro Max using the incredible Mood app.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

@lucyusmaximus.bsky.social - I think I found your next game to stream. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlxx...

There is still some good in this world. deadline.com/2025/06/spac...

Pausing from all the chaos in the world to appreciate that iPadOS 26 might actually be really great. 😳

Damn this tech demo looks great 🤩 - Witcher 4 Gameplay Tech Demo Unreal Engine 5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwjL...

Pretty cool! petapixel.com/2025/06/02/s...

Alright, #DuckDuckGo, I think it's time I give you a fair shot.

I’m so glad you’ll forever be apart of a new core memory: laughing uncontrollably though Bards Dispense Profanity. 😂

Finally started Andor Season 2, and it’s just so good. I’m happy to be back in that universe.

Today, I was selected for a Nintendo Warp Pipe Pass to purchase a Switch 2 AND I received a jury summons. So, I guess life is still balanced.

Our friends recently got a fish, and I happened to have my Fuji X100VI with me.
