I have become weak

I walked between 8-10 miles today and I am beat. Man, I don't know what happened. I shouldn't be bushed like this. A little extra worn, but I am pooped. I feel like I lost a few stamina points a few months ago and can't get them back.

I've started editing pictures, but I am not going to be done tonight.

I've been trying to also do a bit more learning about photography. Every skillshare class is... it's always useful to do a project but the actual classes are so basic I can't focus. I watched a video from a pro photog who specializes in night shooting and he was all 'it's impossible to hand hold a camera for more than a tenth of a second.' And here I am literally in the middle of processing 1-1.3 second hand held exposures. If I drop pack and crouch I can do 3s. That is thirty time what he claims the upper limit is. 30 times. Also, he kept exposing the pictures so much they looked like daytime shots?

I really need to find a way to be learning more about photography, but when I watch anyone except Robin Wong I am just sort of stare in confusion. Maybe I should just re-read my composition textbook again.

15 minute warning

I am hosting a bunch of pose references of guys touching, sitting together, etc. They are all Queer Eye interview screenshots. So, lots of casual male intimacy.

Sadly, I am hitting 90% on my image storage on Dreamwidth and this is a chonk of that. Sometime next week the resource here is going to go poof. I'd like to host them somewhere, but image hosting is a hot mess these days. I also don't know enough about file hosting to just host the file somewhere. I used to know these things, but the olde ways are dead.

Anyway, grab 'em if you want them before they are gone.

There is daylight in Portland

Not that you'd know from my pics, but it does happen:



But then it gets dark:
