Watching an interview with Harry Borden. Just happen to have cool light coming in the window while I did so I snapped a self portrait.

Manarola Italy. One of the five Cinque Terre towns. About a half hour train ride from our place.

Menton, France.
The Riviera is amazing.

What’s the alternative? Capture one? My file system is a mess so starting over might be good.

Italy is calling.
This is Milan central station.

Only 10 days before I go back to my second home in Italy.

Let me know what you find. I have 2 Contax Ts that need love. They are amazing when they work.

The comet.
Photography is often about knowing how to be lucky.

It was incredible. This was what I captured from my parents place.

As a renovation contractor and a photographer this intrigues me. Is this a renovation, a fire restoration? So many questions. Fabulous vacuum in the background, I have the same one.

My oldest.

Thanks! It was a fun trip and I really found a niche of photography I really like. I just need more!

What owl is this?
I call this one “lucky”
I happened to be walking around a campground a couple years ago with my vintage @tamronamericas.bsky.social ‘81 300/2.8 and spotted him. I generally don’t have patience for wildlife photos, glad he came to me.

Oh ffs.

Another with the @tamronamericas.bsky.social 500mmf8 Reflex lens. Sometimes the strange donut bokeh is distracting but it can also be make for a very unique look. #reflexlens #maui #photography

This is the site. You can only book 3 days within a 30 day period and can only book 30 days in advance (if I remember right)

If you plan on headed to Maui take a tent and head to Kipahulu campground on the south east shore of the island. Site 16 is something out of a dream.
This was sunrise, moonrise, and moonset. All from our sheltered little spot on the edge of the ocean. It was like a dream. #maui #kipahulu #site16

I absolutely must watch this! One of the previous owners of our Italian house had a German soldier as a boyfriend during World War II, who opposed the war. Among the treasures we discovered was a remarkable 1915 Austrian gold one-ducat coin, mint in plastic.

Last year we told our families we aren’t participating in gifts anymore. For us to go buy from just the nieces and nephews it’s over a dozen presents. Plus our kids. It’s expensive and exhausting. We buy our kids stuff they need. Like the laundry set we got our oldest two years ago.

I love it. Like stepping back in time.

Yeah. It’s pretty awesome. This is the view from our rooftop terrace.

Pretty standard high school reading hear. Margaret Atwood is a national treasure.
I feel for you guys right now, watching what is happening in your country does seem awfully like what might have been a prelude to the events in that novel.

It’s an amazing place! I visited it when I was 11 with my grandmother. We went to see her mother and where she grew up. It’s just outside the town of Andeness.

Love it

Last one

More from that trip to Nashville.

Who else uses their camera as a shield from having to socialize?
The Milwaukee Tool party during STAFDA 2019 (specialty tools and fasteners distributors association) I think this is where I found my love for candid event photography.

I’m pushing 50 and the idea of working Contruction for another 15 years isn’t super appealing. Photography though, I could do that. I think.
Judging by the work I see other people charging for I definitely wouldn’t be the worst. But where do I start. Where’s the unfilled niche.
