Hi, I'm Nauta. I like to take photos of things, mostly squirrels. I collect and shoot a myriad of cameras, film and digital, old and new. I also enjoy biking to a great extent, coffee even more so, and spending time with my friends. If you like my photos or just want to say hello, please feel free.

AutoX

Nauta Sinneau @sinneau.bsky.social · 1d

Sometimes the feeling I should be dead catches up with me.

Not like suicidal dead, just that this illness should have killed me, but now there's a $1600 every 8 weeks tax on my life to keep living.

Today it didn't feel like it was worth it but I keep paying it.

As in they're working from the coffee shop not enrolling themselves

Nauta Sinneau @sinneau.bsky.social · 2d

Someone in this coffee shop is doing some kind of medical enrollment over the phone and repeating people's personal info and medical status and financial status in public and I'm pretty sure what they're doing is illegal but what do I know.

It's a really odd feeling to convey the same photography advice tidbits I was given 15 years ago to novice photographers now.

MN Furs Fall Picnic was today. It was good despite off and on rain. I didn't bike because the weather wasn't going to be reliable and it definitely lived up to that expectation.

I get to the picnic early to get parking & squirrel photos.

A small set of photos from today's final season AutoX at Canterbury Park.

Yes, someone had "my" Miata there, but it was a 1994 with the 1.8 engine and wheels from a NB.

Nauta Sinneau @sinneau.bsky.social · 7d

Kept waking up every couple hours for no reason like when I was more seriously ill but I don't have the same issues now. Didn't have caffeine or alcohol so Idk what was going on.

I had dreams that I found out a coworker was a furry so there's that.

I hope I can bike to the picnic tomorrow.

Big weekend of three events today and tomorrow and I'm lacking the energy and motivation to do anything today.

Some of the edits I managed to do today.

Considering I was home all day... 12 isn't a lot.

The best part of Friday for me was having three folks post my photos for their Fursuit Friday <3

Nauta Sinneau @sinneau.bsky.social · 8d

I'm up to 421 photos from FM 2025 edited, just want to hit 500 as a goal before I burn out.

Concentrating on non-dance photos allowed me to get 63 edited in about four hours. Far faster than dance comp because there's less I have to do to these.

Not to say I didn't spend too long on some of them...

Nauta Sinneau @sinneau.bsky.social · 10d

I've paid for many by MO or check. I still have a cancelled check from one back in 2001 when I was living in Hawaii. I don't think PayPal even existed then =P

I know folks don't always have time to look through an album of 50 photos so here's some of my favourites from the riverside park outing yesterday.

I was inspired to think back on how many "new" major purchases I've made in my life:

Cars: 0
Computers: 2 (iBook G3, 2013 MacBook Air that was NOS)
Phones: 0 (All were used or $0 on prepaid)
Lenses: 3
Cameras: 2 (A Casio in 2005 and my Canon R7)

I bought a LCD in 2013, but my TV was a refurb.
