Even through everything the sun still rises and sets. Just a reminder to put down the phone, turn off the tv, step away from the computer and go outside.

This is something I struggle with, but capturing moments like this remind me to appreciate what’s around me when I can and helps me reset.

I’ve been slacking on posting here, but I’ve started trying to get into the realm of longer format story telling with my pictures. So I’ve decided to start a blog

Minolta Freedom Tele AF First Run – Thrax Shoots

Well, the first roll through the Electro 35 GSN was a learning experience. I thought I had the film fully rewound, but I did not. I’m probably going to replace the light seals, but there’s still some wonkiness with the exposure stuff and I’m questioning if it’s worth the repair.

Well the yashica wasn’t enough, I decided I needed a point and shoot in my life, I present the Minolta Freedom Tele AF Multibeam. This camera is actually the same camera as the Leica AF-C1.
So, For $5 I truly couldn’t resist.

Corporate America has been waging a war against the trade union movement for a simple reason:

They know that union workers earn higher wages and better benefits than non-union workers.

It’s finally here! Did a little exterior cleaning on it (after the picture), got in a new battery with an adapter and validated it gets power. Now to run a roll of film through it and see what happens 🤷‍♂️

USPS, are you okay? I really wanted my camera on Friday but I don’t think that’s happening anymore 😭

MrThrax @mrthrax.co · Aug 8

It’s cheaper locally and at other places, I paid for the convenience and quick delivery times.

MrThrax @mrthrax.co · Aug 8

Yeah with the cost of shipping and the low quantity of film, plus timelines Amazon was better than B&H, but i won’t be continuing purchasing from them

MrThrax @mrthrax.co · Aug 8

Yeah that makes sense, I went with Amazon because the camera was supposed to be here tomorrow and I wouldn’t have time to make it up to the film lab to grab some locally. But I will be purchasing locally as much as possible once everything is here.

MrThrax @mrthrax.co · Aug 4

Well, I decided that I wanted to hate myself and money and start to get into film.

Surprising car to show up at cars and coffee. This is the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale. This is a limited run, 1/799 car, and the only Ferrari “XX” model to be made street legal.

Zebras are cool, and the debate has been settled, they’re black with white stripes.

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

I love visiting places different than where I live. Brings a nice change of scenery to rejuvenate my desire to go shooting. Here’s a picture from the MTS as it was starting to sprinkle in San Diego.
