Portland, OR based homosexual. I like Final Fantasy XIV, film, men’s clothing, photography, and espresso. Occasional NSFW posts/reposts. He/him. 🏳️‍🌈 📷: Nikon D3100. Photography site- https://pdxat35mm.blog/ Letterboxd- https://boxd.it/fSiwX

Had a dude on sniffies send me a face and body nude and I recognized him as one of the gays in our building. I replied in kind and said hey neighbor. I think he blocked me? Unfortunately for him I have no shame and will interact in person as if I haven’t seen your bits and bobs 🤣

Kinda feel the need for some retail therapy either in the form of a new-to-me DSLR or another button up denim shirt. I don’t need either one but after the past couple week I’ve had I feel like I’ve earned a little something.

I stopped bike commuting to work a couple years ago for various reasons, but started again last month when the Tilikum was closed for a few days to bus traffic. And as I pack a whole other outfit into my backpack I’m now remembering one of the reasons I stopped doing this.

Currently considering a camera upgrade from my D3100 to a D5200. It has over 3x the focal points and a swivel mounted screen- both would be a huge QoL improvement over my current camera. I’ve seen a few in good condition with low shutter counts for under $300 so it’s tempting.

Had a wild convo with some old lady on west burnside by Providence Park. She asked for a dollar because it was her birthday, pointed to the top of a high rise and said she lived up there, and then followed me across the street saying “drivers are shit so maybe they’ll hit you first”.

@eldermillenial.bsky.social always posting cool street photography motivated me to actually take my camera with me as I walked around Astoria after work yesterday and grabbed dinner. I've been playing around with in camera recipes for burning JPEGs. I'm liking the look of this recipe.

I’m typically conflict adverse at work and will handle things in such a way (for better and for worse) that resolve a situation as neatly and quickly as possible. And then there’s days like today where I have to tell someone to do their job so the rest of us can do ours with little hassle.
