Absolutely loved this game because it had pretty much everything, including multiple variants of the 914, 924, 944, 928, and 968 models that were never really the popular Porsches. This game is probably responsible for my 944/914 obsession.

Velvia 50 is one hell of a film.

I'm still impressed with how well the fixed-focus, fixed-aperture, meniscus lens, single shutter speed 1940 Kodak Brownie manages to work when the conditions are right.

Dudes will post things like this and then block you for saying "more cops are bad, actually" when they say we need more traffic stops.
Screenshot of Bluesky post with username redacted. The post contains a photo of two DHS employees at the Seattle waterfront with the following caption (spelling errors in original): "I watched these two trundle down the Seattle waterfront glued to this guys phone for about 15 minutes before I got bored. What are these people here for if they are just going to stand around and watch til-tok totally oblivious to the world around them."

Almost all of my favorite photos have come from choosing to go out and Do The Thing instead of remaining comfortable at home.

Photo of a member of the Seattle chapter of Dykes on Bikes taken at roughly 3am. The biker has her back to the camera with the Seattle Dykes on Bikes patch clearly visible, along with a "Protect Trans Folks" patch on the side of her best. Blurred and I'm the background is the Space Needle.

My favorite of the midnight photos from this weekend.

Photograph of a woman on a motorcycle at night. The woman and bike are stationary in a small pool of light from a street lamp. Behind the woman is a fishing trawler docked at a concrete pier and a cautionary sign reading "Road End"

A big thanks to @victoriascott.bsky.social for drilling it into my head that, with digital, ISO isn't real. Aside from obscuring the license plate (and Bluesky compression) this is a jpg straight from the camera.

The best parts of Radwood are the mundane survivors like this '90s Ford Escort from the time when cars were available in fun colors.

These are going to scan nicely I think.
Phone photo of an uncut roll 6x6 positives on a light box from a medium format Bronica EC-TL. The image centered on the light box shows Tahoma (Mount Rainier) in the background with a tuft of haloed bear grass in the foreground.

Literally had this come up in my timeline a few months before I figured myself out.
Screenshot of a satirical headline and image. The image shows two women walking in a park while browsing their phones. Headline text reads: "'Why is my Twitter timeline all trans women?' Asks 'Man' Who Is About To Realize Why"

Sometimes you biff a photo so badly that it comes back around to almost being good.

Massively under-exposed 110 film photo looking out the stern of the vehicle deck of a Washington State Ferry. The sky and water both look horribly red and the shoreline and trees are completely black shadows and the interior or of the ferry looks a sickly green/yellow due to the under-exposure. A solitary figure stands in the center of the stern, silhouetted against the water's reflection of the red sky.

Phone photo of the post author's 944 Turbo parked at the highest drivable point on Tahoma shortly before the post was drafted. The image is a night sight photo with the car's parking lights glowing eerily under a night-dark sky. This is absolutely a place a 944 is not supposed to be.

The kind of letter that deserves the famous James N. Bailey response.
Image of a famous legal letter sent by Cleveland Stadium Corporation general counsel James N. Bailey in response to a baseless legal threat. The letter reads, in substantive part, as follows: "Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters."

Film photography of Victoria Scott in the act of taking the photograph in the post at the top of this thread. Victoria is on one knee and framing her shot on her Fujica GW690 while her wife stands off to the side checking her phone. A pair of mostly glass high-rise apartments are visible at the top of the hill behind the two of them.
