@pzmyers grilled cheese sammiches on homemade bread and homemade tomato soup is the best. Anyone else that disagrees is wrong.
@Nafrondel Not today. But close! Also almost fell into a rabbit hole about freight train lengths and US railcar standards.
@RealCiderReviews I paid literally 10% of that quoted apartment price for an entire house downtown. Flyover states where nothing happens are fun. :)
Want to get lost in a Wikipedia hole? Start reading about the sub-channels on digital TV stations. Dang.
@RealCiderReviews a small city in southeast michigan.
Still blows my mind that my mortgage now is cheaper than my rent 4 years ago.
@Snip I like the challenge, actually. Kind of forces me to redraft my thoughts. i'm a rubbish writer anyway (it's why I'm a photographer, not a writer). But sometimes the project requires more wordiness.
tough to fit in my #the52project profiles on the 500 character limit here, so think i'll truncate what I share on other social media by basically rewriting it for here.

Did something go awry with octodon? It looks... broken.
@jasonsteakums I'd like to hear more about this.
#the52project from a few weeks ago. When asked to dress for your shoot, always opt for the shark costume.
@tats Enjoy! RAW is life.
@jasonsteakums I started by asking friends if I could add them to a running list. I now have strangers asking to be part of the project. It's pretty neat. I've learned a lot in six months.
So I'm in the middle (the exact middle, in fact) of a personal #photography project. 52 subjects, 52 portrait sessions, 52 weeks. Started as an excuse to shoot every week, but has kind of morphed into a positivity project: I talk with the subjects and kind of "hype" them up in social media posts next to their portraits. Good counter-balance to all the negative crap you see on social media.
Maybe I'll start cross-posting them here too.
Third time's the charm. Important note: Show more
Some #streetphotography. Shot in my hometown after a particularly dense fog settled down. I'm not very good at this type of #photography and don't tend to shoot it much but i think this one came out.
Shot on a Canon 5d mk ii, probably at 1600 or 3200 iso, can't remember. Edited in Lightroom.
@tats @ElectricMink learn aperture priority mode. Shooting in full manual is good to learn the exposure triangle, but to be honest most photographers don't use it (exception are street photographers, but they are more likely to "lock" it into a certain setting to override the camera - always f/8, or always 1/160 exposure, stuff like that).
Learning aperture/shutter speed/ISO in general is your first step. Happy to answer questions :) Maybe I'll become the resident #photography guru here.
I see it's culturally acceptable to hashtag your interests on here as an "intro"? Fine. Sure.
