My youngest is watching Spidey and his amazing friends. The show introduces a pirate and Iโ€™m like that sounds like David Tennant. Well thatโ€™s because it is. youtube.com/shorts/TuKBK...

My interview didnโ€™t make it to this short news clip but looks like there will be a special program on TV in April. So maybe Iโ€™ll be on that?

Why not have search results based off dates and not algorithms.

I really hate how Instagram has changed their search results and having less with hashtags. This makes it difficult to find pictures from Sundayโ€™s festival.

200mm not 300ml. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Middle child had DSLR and a 300ml zoom lens. You can't see me, but in the second picture I am just about under the water being poured. 3rd, you can spot my hair. 4th, someone in the back slipped on rocks and nearly brought the whole mikoshi down.

The water was about 4ยฐ and the outside temperature was about 10/11ยฐ. However, the wind made it feel much colder.

Time to get undress for this naked man festival. No one is really naked, though. We all have white shorts and our torsos are wrapped.

It was lovely here, as well. I went on a 20km bike ride. Brought my Nikon FE w/ Kodak Tmax 100 (expired). I also brought my digital and only used it for a few shots.

Shot with my Pergear 25mm manual focus lens.
It has been awhile since I have shot with this lens. If I am using my Fujifilm camera, I am using my TTArtisan 35mm or Fujinon 50-230mm lens.

Finally got 120 film developed from last year. I love when I get the shots right with the twin lens camera.
