First post. I think I will be posting things here like photography and random things.

Also will repost things from the NSFW account here that are SFW.

That other account has things marked adult, so be warned and don't be weird.

#queer late night rewatch all of #3bodyproblem cutting and sleeving #film #negatives, both #35mm and a few #mediumformat including #6x6 #6x9 #6x4.5. Nice reminiscing through #photograghy of #cities, #landscapes, #nature, and #Palestine #protest. Even though #e100 is hard the protest shot was a fav.
6x9 negatives on light box over a cutting mat just sleeved to be archived in binder Some shots on 6x6 medium format that were past the frame 12 so we're partial but cool that there were 3 so we have this cool comp E100 shot of Fuji 6x4.5 of a Palestine protest in Long Beach. One of my favorite shots on film. 35mm bw negatives cutting to be sleeved on light box and cutting mat.

Last #birdphotography of note was getting to capture this #snowyegret flying and landing so dramatically at #sutrobaths in #sanfrancisco and being close enough with my #100-400mm on my #xt5 #fujifilm that eye was a trip personally, so beautiful
Snowy egret about to land on Sutro baths with people in the background and the pools just to the right Snowy egret landing with its feathers all fluffed and dramatic like as it lands on the sutro pool wall walkway with graffiti in the back a close shot of the snowy egret looking for a meal with grasses / reed poking through the water in the sutro baths snowy egret with some great detail of its feathers and eye thats incredible as it looks like its floating in the socket without a lens and just a hole, such a trip

#queer and their partner out for a #nighthike @ #elysianpark, saw some #bunnies and #photograph 'd an #owl which has been a dream to capture, need to try again as I was too far with not the best lens.
Long exposure of a car on the Broadway street bridge with downtown Los Angeles in the lit up at night beyond and old timey street lamps along the bridge Cute bunnies hopping around in the dark, seemingly evading cayotes in the area, seen with a flashlight An overlook with my partner walking across with a bit of motion blur back lit by the cities lights of Lincoln Park A photo of an owl, a poor one, but one none the less. Will try again next time with a bigger lens and better body

my #queer #fitcheck and the #animals and did some quick #photography from my flat's windows. A couple of cute #cats and a purdy #hummingbird. taken with a #fujifilm #xt5 and their #100400mm
A couple of kitties in the adjacent parking lot next to my flat, taken with from 3 floors up with a 100-400mm lens on a X-T5 This cutie hummingbird was just outside the window and the 100-400 really got close as they are soooooo tiny. I love the attitude in the eyes and the flecks of iridescence Fit check mirror selfies, COS green pants cropped hem, brown belt, silk floral shirts, black motorcycle leather jacket, small leather bag for EDC and a X-T5 with a 16-55 lens on a peak design shoulder strap.

This #queer really got used to the small light tactile sensibilities of the #x100vi so decided to trade in my #eosr and #llenses for #xt5 #redbadgelenses through #mpb. Near 1:1 swap for newer body and the lens equivalents but much smaller and lighter. Been very happy with the swap.
