I'm pretty lucky to be able to take pictures of people during some of their happiest times :)

Went on this absolutely SICK train ride a few weeks ago, the path goes through some swamplands. Turns out this photographer knew it was coming and was taking pictures of us! hah!

So here's the bottom of my first ever barbell squat attempt

- could've gone lower
- a little curve in the back

I felt wobbly and bleh about it so something needs work/stability

Oh well! Gotta start somewhere.

Only July 19th 2024 when Crowdstrike took down the world, I needed a little break from working through the absolute mess I had to help fix. I went to a local park and happened to get this guy which for sure made the day suck less :)
