After all your years there, do you think you’re acclimated to the heat?

I guess I shouldn’t talk, I can’t tolerate temperatures above 80. Heat makes my condition worse.

Hypothermia? I know people there are used to the heat. But can you really get hypothermia? It’s not even cold enough for frost.

#photochat A3 I use Snapseed for most edits, it’s the only one I find intuitive.
For things I can’t do in Snapseed, I have Affinity Photo. I really struggle with it.

#photochat A2: “The Blade” 😍
(Hasselblad 500c/m) w/ 80mm lens, light meter, notebook, pen, lens cloth. Maybe a “business” card.
I just realized that I haven’t touched my camera bag in several weeks. 😢

In the fall, I plant spring flowering bulbs that I hope will be interesting to photograph. But sometimes I see a plant at the garden center that looks photogenic, and I hadn’t planned for it. 😉

#photochat A1: A little of both. I keep my XA2 in my tote, in case I see something when I’m out. I also keep a “shadow diary” - if I see interesting light and might want to come back another time.
