Has anyone else noticed that semi-trailers have almost the exact same dimensions -scaled- as a box of 120 photo film? Just me? Ok.

A 1930s Rolleiflex film camera lies haphazardly atop a leather jacket and next to a vintage Swedish bandolier containing filters and spare film. Golden sunlight illuminates the scene.

FYI, saying β€œthe” Ukraine is something that Russian nationalists tend to do, as in Russian that linguistic construction harkens back to when Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire. Today’s Ukrainians tend to abhor it, insisting on just β€œUkraine”.

grizzly33bear on eBay! He sold me my Zeiss Super Ikonta 6x4.5. Profile says Czech Republic, but he’s actually based in Kyiv. Great items, fast shipping, and excellent communication. Go check out his stuff!

A vintage Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck in glossy red paint, reflecting the sunlight. The image focuses on the front fender, hood, and driver’s side door, with the β€˜3100’ emblem prominently displayed. The truck features a distinctive sun visor over the windshield. The reflection of the sky and surroundings is visible on the truck’s curved surfaces. A suburban house with blue siding and white trim is partially visible in the background, along with bare trees under a clear blue sky.

Must be a different one, then! Looks a lot like Manoa falls, mauka from the University of Hawaii.

Aerial view of a sailboat’s bow with two people on deck, one standing barefoot and wearing a sun hat, while the other reclines on a cushioned bench. The white sail is fully extended, casting shadows on the deck, and the boat is surrounded by dark, still water reflecting the golden light.

A classic sailboat with a white hull and wooden accents glides across calm waters, its sails catching the golden light of the setting sun. The crew is spread across the deck, some tending to the rigging while others relax near the bow. Sunlight reflects off the water, creating shimmering bursts of light near the bowsprit.

An elegant two-masted schooner sails through open waters, viewed from above. The white sails are fully deployed, and the wooden masts and rigging contrast beautifully against the deep blue sea. Crew members are seen actively managing the vessel, some near the helm while others move about the deck. The schooner exudes a timeless maritime charm.

Alcyone. My friend Erik’s family has cruised her throughout the Pacific for decades. Seen here at the schooner race in Port Townsend, 2022. #schooner #sailboat #woodenboat #photography #drone #adventure #aerialphotography #porttownsend

The Kulshan crew. Steve looking more badass munching on a granola bar than I am doing anything; Amy whose personality & shades are a burst of color, Jess who packs enough energy into a small space to trigger a singularity, & our awesome guide Derek. #mountaineering #hiking #pnw #photography #glacier
