Even through everything the sun still rises and sets. Just a reminder to put down the phone, turn off the tv, step away from the computer and go outside.
This is something I struggle with, but capturing moments like this remind me to appreciate what’s around me when I can and helps me reset.

Well, the first roll through the Electro 35 GSN was a learning experience. I thought I had the film fully rewound, but I did not. I’m probably going to replace the light seals, but there’s still some wonkiness with the exposure stuff and I’m questioning if it’s worth the repair.

So, For $5 I truly couldn’t resist.

Corporate America has been waging a war against the trade union movement for a simple reason:
They know that union workers earn higher wages and better benefits than non-union workers.

It’s finally here! Did a little exterior cleaning on it (after the picture), got in a new battery with an adapter and validated it gets power. Now to run a roll of film through it and see what happens 🤷♂️

Surprising car to show up at cars and coffee. This is the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale. This is a limited run, 1/799 car, and the only Ferrari “XX” model to be made street legal.

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

I love visiting places different than where I live. Brings a nice change of scenery to rejuvenate my desire to go shooting. Here’s a picture from the MTS as it was starting to sprinkle in San Diego.
