so, when your family calls u up and is like "hey, its time to come go through your uncles personal effects and see what he left you" dont make the assumption they talkin about guitar effects or you may be disappointed when you get there and your dead relative left you a box with like, baseball cards, corduroy bell bottom trousers, and other worthless 70s junk. i don't even know why i got my hopes up, its not like he played guitar
but he did have a near mint condition pentax k1000 with original 50mm asahi lens at his place so i did keep that and might play around with it a little. okay, yes, it was in a box with someone else's name on it but my stupid cousin isn't gonna figure out a film camera from nearly fifty (50) years ago, nor get around to using it before she pawns it to score some molly (molly is the street name of a particularly heinous narcotic, not a person, in this situation---i've known a number of Mollys in my time who were delightful and were humans not drugs). my uncle lived in the bevo mill neighborhood (emphasis on hood), tho, so his ghost would've been disappointed if someone hadn't stolen something from someone lol. but yeah I had to get out of there quick because your life expectancy drops like precipitation when u enter that part of town and u sure don't wanna be caught with anything shiny around your neck
so anyway, yeah, i'll find some film and see what's up

it's pretty dope that one hour photo joints can just email you a Dropbox folder with all the shots. what a time to be alive.
this camera needs a cleaning and i need to read the manual but hey RIP uncle Roger, these shots are for you (camera shots not licquer shots, but maybe the latter later). I had to go deep in the mark twain national forest for these. if you are ever nearby, it's worth taking a quick spirit journey in.

Taken on my Nikon D7000 (dx)... a rushed, opportunistic capture of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Demo-2, with astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, catching up with the International Space Station during the 2020 return to spaceflight (first launch from US soil after the Shuttle retirement). I realized only about 30 minutes before-hand that I had a sighting opportunity and rushed up to a nearby lake to setup my rig and attempt a capture of this historic moment. Didn't have enough time to track and image with my telephoto lens so opted to capture the overall scene with my Tokina 11-16mm superwide lens.

As I like to say on a fine piece of Birdseye maple, "Look at all dem birds!".... and that's the way I say it. I don't need a computer to correct my Kelsey Grammer. Quiet Ross.
The picture look like it's through a filter with that screen. Perfect moment with the wing flutter. I like birds so I must be getting old.
