a1. I’m a hobbyist photographer, enjoying the hobby for about 45 years. I shoot both film and digital. For many years, I shot landscapes, architecture, and a little street. The last few years I have become enamored with portrait/fashion photography. #photochat

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

The iconic Porsche 914 from last weekend’s Luftgekuhlt in Durham, NC. Would’ve given anything to own one back in my high school and college days. There was just something about that targa topped two seater roadster that spoke to me. #classicporsche #porsche914 #luftgekuhlt #sonyalpha

Can’t honestly say I’m a vintage Porsche fanatic, but I spent pretty much the whole day at Luftgekuhlt in Durham. This 356a caught my eye. Shot with my Sony a7iii and 35/1.8. #vintageporsche #classiccars #sonyalpha #ncphotographers #alphauniverse

Stumbled upon The Devil's Haircut last weekend during the Raleigh @fotoapp.co Foto walk and had to snap a shot. Gotta love the interesting businesses you find in this city!
