Drier than your mom’s… martinis.

a disabled veteran and his camera, in seattle. dm to book.
He already did by colluding with the Chinese Communist Party leaders to reinstate TikTok for his inauguration, thus aiding a foreign espionage apparatus, as defined by 2/3 of government.

That’s literal treason.

Congress and the Supreme Court agreed that the CCP’s control of ByteDance is a potential threat to national security via espionage and political propaganda.

#TikTok thanked #Trump for his efforts resulting in restoring US service.

Aiding the CCP in spying is #treason. Literally. #InaugurationDay

I’m reflecting on the fact that in 20 years, I’ll be dead but this photo will live on, and most Seattle residents will have no clue where this was taken.

Or that it’s upside down.

It doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting any lowland #snow this #winter. Just #bombcyclones for #Seattle and the #PNW.

13” iPad Pro M1 versus M4.

Yay, thinner.

I’d rather they made it the same thickness as the camera bump, making it bumpless, and filling the space with more battery and cooling.

Making it this thin, with a camera bump, feels oxymoronic.

Still not enough room for my printer. Sigh.

I’ll try again in 2 months.

So. Much. Photography. Equipment.

I don’t have a problem.

There are 5 Chrome Industries sling bags in the photo, plus 2 Shimoda backpacks. By far the best bags for cameras (and not cameras) I’ve used, working especially well around my back issues.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of the recent, constant rain. We need a break.

Just some #MondayMotivation for you.

Kelsey did this in 6 months, while running a small business 6 days a week and working toward her single engine cert. She’s also a wife and mom of 2, plus 2 dogs.

You can too, if you want it. #photography #fitness #weightlifting #bodybuilding

A not-so-quick diversion into Diego Garcia, circa 1998.

Men couldn’t be shirtless in public in KSA, hence the tan.

Sometimes, elements of a photo can look vastly different than in reality.

Like her thumb. She’s not wanking a ghost.

I’m sure this shot wasn’t chosen on accident.

“Pout.”

“No. Duck lips.”

*frowns intensely*

“Trust me.”

If there’s one thing I’m especially bad at, it’s photographing fireworks. Rarely will you find me near a display, thus I have little practice.

Even god keeps up with what I’ve got to say about things.

I’d return the favor but I don’t believe you exist.

The Chrome Kadet Max XR, under video lights versus under strobe.

Summary: $130, guaranteed for life.

No luggage strap, padding is thin, pockets are ok.

Strap is comfy and bag is weatherproof and lightweight. XR great for visibility. 2 external straps and 4 anchors built-in. Stability strap included.

IMO the best value for $101-150.

Returned my Alpaka Tech Brief Pro after 1 use. It just doesn’t work as a sling bag.

So, I swapped it for a Chrome Kadet Max XR; not a fan of disco lights but I do prefer light, waterproof sailcloth over woven nylon.

It’s like my Tensile Sling was enlarged by 400%. Cont’d…

I’m now paying AT&T an extra $7/mo for “real-time responsiveness and smoother connectivity.”

Telephony was and is real-time voice communication. If it isn’t real-time, it isn’t phone service… it’s a recording.

So what’s the other $168/mo I pay, for? It’s not phone service, by your own admission.

This sort of shit should be illegal as fuck.

The first listing is for Amazon’s own Fire TV 85” television. The second is for a Samsung TV.

Amazon swaps Buy Now, Add to Cart buttons on own items to confuse buyers into $1800 purchase they believe buyers will just let slide. Right.

Cont’d…
