Just an older millennial or young Gen X person who likes to do photography (and other stuff) when not hauling freight in an 18 wheeler.

Most photos are my own.

The house was on fire on Tuesday night. Got these somewhere many miles Northwest of Aurora, Illinois. My first time getting photos of Aurora Borealis. Used my phone for these. (All my other cameras are in storage at the moment) #auroraborealis

Alright... I think I'm convinced that I should watch this series. 😅 (And the HB one as well)

If AI is the future, then I have very little to look forward to.

Between whats going on now and what may be going on later, I feel like the future will be a mix of 1984, Brave New World, and Idiocracy. It is far sooner than people think.

I used to look forward to the future.

Let there be light.

Found myself next to the abandoned Crown Vantage Paper Mill near Kalamazoo yesterday. Would love to check it out one day when I'm not working, and have a friend who can go with me.

Back in September 2019, I checked out the Fabrication Yard with a friend in Dallas. Here's one more post of a few of my favorites from that day. #Dallas #graffiti

On one of my last visits to the abandoned City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana in 2017, I brought my Canon EOS 1n film camera and a few rolls of black and white film. Here's a few photos from that visit. #blackandwhitefilm #abandoned

In 2013 I found one of my old unused rolls of film that I bought in the late 1990s. Decided to pop it in my late 1960s Minolta rangefinder camera and see what would come out of it. Here's a few of my favorite shots from that roll. Photos taken in Tacoma, Washington. #expiredfilm

My current collection of cameras... not counting phones. I have a Canon 90D DSLR, a Canon EOS 1n film camera from the 1990s, a Minolta Rangefinder from the 1960s, and a Polaroid Land Camera that's also from the 1960s. #cameras #film

Hung out with a friend in Detroit today. Actually checked out a couple of abandoned buildings but there wasn't much left of them.

Saw Devo in Oakland back in 2014. Only had my cell phone for a camera, but I still got a few good photos that day.

Some more random photos from my visit to the Mojave Desert in late 2016. Got lots more from that trip I'll post soon. The random clown in a tree was found out in the desert, far from any paved highway. #MojaveDesert #payphones #clown

I checked out the Manzanar Concentration Camp in January 2010 on one of my many trips between Reno, Nevada and Southern California. Back then the only camera I was using was an older Sony Cybershot I bought used for $30. #Manzanar

While wandering out in the Mojave Desert in late 2016 I saw a bunch of old abandoned vehicles. One was a 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Fiesta Wagon. Black and white film with a 50mm lens was used on these photos. #blackandwhitefilm #mojavedesert #abandonedcar

Today after wrapping up my last delivery before I make the 2 hour drive home, I got some photos of Canada from Marysville, Michigan.

At the end of 2016, I spent a few days hanging out in the Mojave Desert. Here's a few photos I got with my 1960s Polaroid Land Camera. #mojavedesert #film
