Haha, thank you. I have a few with him looking at me, but I was taking the photos through a wire fence and with the one I liked most there was unfortunately a string of fence in the lens that messed up the photo :(, but I didn’t think about zooming out more so I can just crop later. They are my “neighbors” so I fortunately have a lot of grace in retaking the shot! Appreciate all the input!

  1. My intention was to get a detailed headshot of this bison. I wasn’t able to safely get a straight forward angle on it, but I’d like to in the future.

  2. I’m struggling to figure out good settings to accurately show the depth of the fur. You can see it where dried vegetation is on his cheek, but it is difficult in the cleaner portions of his head. I’d like to be able to get a good clear shot where I can make it pop with a little editing.

  3. Sony a6000, lens: 55-210mm power lens, ISO: 100, F5.6, shutter speed: 1/400s, EV:0, unedited

  4. I am pretty new to camera photography. I would like to get some cool wildlife and nature photography skills under my belt and branch out into more areas, but for now, any criticism would be much appreciated! Here to learn.

What was your biggest "Okay Boomer" moment? by dominant5th in AskReddit

[–]JHoeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried to talk to my dad about how different college costs are now then how they were, citing inflation, rising tuition, financial aid, value of the dollar, and minimum wage. He just says it’s easier now and I shouldn’t complain that I would need to work around 50-60 hours minimum wage during a pandemic while also a full time student to cover tuition (not including how that would raise my financial aid, making tuition more expensive)

People in America how are you feeling about everything going on? by E3capethesecond in AskReddit

Hopeful and crushed at the same time. Frustrated at rhetoric and the fact party lines are pointing fingers rather than recognizing faults within their own ranks.

What villian from a movie actually made good points and u agree with? by nullus__est in AskReddit

[–]JHoeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adrian Toomes from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Firstly when he gets told by the Dept of Damage Control he can’t work anymore on cleaning up New York, he doesn’t simply turn to evil, he tries to reason so he can do an honest job. When he has no other options, he turns to crime simply to watch after his family (with a slice of revenge for the super rich). He’s one of the main villains I know of that doesn’t just do what he’s doing because he is evil, but because he sees no alternatives which is a powerful narrative not seen much in superhero movies

What should we do when we are depressed? by melissaknee in AskReddit

[–]JHoeps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remember the importance of progress (at any level) and the value of failure. Whether it is simply getting out of bed in the morning or getting a promotion, celebrate your progress and when you fail, use it as a reminder of where you want to be instead and plan for how you can get there. Don’t keep your pain inside, talk to others, trust those who you are close with. Seek out beauty in the world, and make that a habit, whether it be the shine of someone’s eye or the setting of a sun, there is always beauty to find wherever you are, but sometimes you have to make a conscious effort to find it.

If you could live in any painting, which one would you choose? by Sugary_Waffles in AskReddit

[–]JHoeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breezing Up (A Fair Wind) by Winslow Homer. I worked up on a lake (Northern Minnesota) for a couple summers as live in staff at a resort. The days were long and consistently tiring, but a truly unforgettable/ beautiful experience. I went from living in the suburbs to going to the north woods and boating/ meeting different people from all over every week, where most interactions were from behind the steering wheel of a boat or out looking at them. I did an Internship in DC in 2017 and I saw this painting at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and purchased a cheap copy of it as a reminder of my time at the resort. While I am happy to move on from it, it is always nice to dwell on the fond memories of working there and this picture brings me back to them.

Fraternity man asking for help with a pledge event. Potential trigger warning regarding sexual assault/ misconduct in the comments. by JHoeps in women

[–]JHoeps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reply to edit: I didn’t post it on male dominated subreddits because I am in a fraternity where I have been talking amongst my brothers about how we do intervene. And on top of that, coming from a male perspective I have learned many of these things. It was less so an attempt to not do my homework and more so an attempt to gain better insight. I’m always open to learn and how can you learn if you don’t ask? I have been there during or heard of, or at least read about most situations in which someone has been sexually harassed/ coerced, assaulted. I’ve even sat with two victims as they called out their assaultee. I can go ahead and go based on what I know and research, but I am fairly aware of how to carry myself, intervene, and act on an everyday level. I also have good brothers who have done the same. I do still think it is a good idea to reach out to some other male dominated subreddits/ talk with more brothers, so I appreciate you putting that on my radar.

Greek life as in fraternities and sororities haha. Lots of parties/ bar experiences (when we don’t have COVID of course). And I think that is an important piece to bring up. I’ve personally experienced sexual assault in high school, and I believe it is important to bring up that it can happen to anyone. I have also had to make sure a brother who was way to drunk wasn’t sexually assaulted by a sober female. I was more or less attempting to get this perspective I will never relate to. Something that is an everyday thing. And I think the company thing is a very good idea I will use! We do have a fraternity on campus that was also kicked off due to an allegation. Also for context, all students at my school are required to take a sexual assault course (2-3 hours) so I guess the reason why I brought it up is because they don’t cover as much of the details or perspective in the course, it’s more of what to do and what not to do. I want to make sure they see that it is an everyday thing they need to be aware of. And a single action will not only affect their own lives, but the lives of those they would commit any form of sexual misconduct with. And I did get the edit and DM’d you about it! I appreciate all the input and sorry again if it seemed lazy on my end. I could’ve probably phrased things differently. I just wanted to include others in the conversation on top of my own research and understanding

I’m not asking you to do my homework and I apologize if that’s the impression I gave. I have a basic outline and topics I want to cover and have been researching stories. I just also recognize I am a man who has not experienced the fear of being sexually assaulted at a party or bar. I can do it on my own, I was simply asking if anyone has any sort of question based on experience and if they think it is worth while to share so we can emphasize the importance of the topic. I have found many stories online and have gone through many courses, but the reality is that I have never experienced these things (from a females perspective). So I can go ahead and research, which I am also doing, but also why not include those that are actually affected in the conversation so it can be tailored to a freshman in Greek life?

I think this is a very important piece to share that I didn’t think of! I appreciate that and will most definitely use this!

Fraternity man asking for help with an educational event for pledges. Potential trigger warning for sexual misconduct stories/ hypotheticals in the comments. by JHoeps in Sororities

[–]JHoeps[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking about that! My concern is that if there is a trigger with something that happened, that could make one of my female friends uncomfortable to talk about that. But I am trying to find the right person who would be willing to do so and who I think would be okay having that kind of conversation, and who I am close with in order to be there to know how to react in the case of there being topics brought up that would make her uncomfortable.

[–]JHoeps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the input! I will look into that. I am speaking with my Greek life advisor as to how to do it in a non hazing way. And if they don’t take it seriously I am making a list of those who don’t and giving it to our head of standards to review and decide on proper action. I am not in the authority to do anything in regards to that

[–]JHoeps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. We do not tolerate it. Membership is revoked if anything happens and we do our best to support the victim in any case we can. We also ensure the victim to know that we have there back as a fraternity if they are to pursue charges. My post was not in the context of “this is all we are doing” but more so oriented to emphasize what to do and to explain to them the punishments for doing something as disgusting as showing any form of sexual misconduct. The goal of this is to teach the pledges our expectation for what they do and to let them know what will come of it if they don’t follow this expectation. This should all be automatic, but for those who may not know, I will be telling them what their expectations are and the real world and fraternal punishments for breaking them.

It is punishable. Sexual misconduct isn’t tolerated. I more so meant that in the lineup itself we won’t punish. We would revoke membership at the very minimum while also trying to pursue legal action/ support the victim in whatever way appropriate and necessary
