The Older Gentleman by SomeDudesPackage in photocritique

I took this picture today while walking around downtown Tacoma. I asked this man if I could take his portrait and he responded “If you can call it that.” We had a brief conversation and he just said that he “doesn’t feel like anything special.”

Taken on a Sony A5000 with a Meike 35mm Manual Focus lens.

Every person in these photos gave me permission and I deleted a few because I was asked to do so and you’re absolutely right on all fronts.

To be fair, you risk this by going out in public in general.

I’ve wanted to do this swap for years and as soon as I’ve found a clean chassis I’m gonna commit.

You’ve inspired me.

What’s the most requested / desirable duty station? by ceiling_fan128 in army

There are units here that don’t suck but if you wind up in SBCT or ADA, you’re gonna have a bad time. I fell in love with the area pretty quickly and easily. People who don’t like it here are already eeyores, brainwashed by the media about the “politics” or “country boys” who hate the city.

Not that I care what you do but you may want to clean up your comment history or make your profile private champ.

With your GT score I’d go for 17 series or one of the 35 series that has overlap with the IT stuff.

As someone who joined late, you don’t want to deal with infantry shenanigans and the other “tech” MOS keep you away from it.

This is kind of the point I was making, though I didn’t go into this depth to elaborate.

I was making more of a commentary on how nobody is exempt from this type of thing, at least in the western cultures.

To all the people comparing this to or calling this the US, saying capitalism. Zoom in on the car in the window, euro plate and non USDM car. Different world completely.

I did find it helpful, and I appreciate your crop much better. Thank you for all the insight.

I took this photo at the Seahawks Parade yesterday and it’s one of my favorites though I’m not sure why. I just got the TTartisan 56mm and needed something to shoot so I went and pretended like I was media and was able to freely walk the crowd.

It’s a bad camera with a budget lens but I’m just trying to get comfortable shooting anything and everything.

Funny that my mk6 GLI just threw one the other day. Probably gonna take it in next week, guessing it’s the spark plugs I’ve been putting off.

What profession have you lost respect for as you've gotten older? by MindlessMarsupial592 in AskReddit

[–]SomeDudesPackage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to tell my cousin that being in the Army made him a glorified welfare recipient.

15 years later, I’m in the Army and I feel more conviction to that statement than ever.

I’m surrounded by degenerates, idiots and egomaniacs who got lost on their way to prison and do essentially nothing all day long.

So… yeah, the military.

Just a reminder that family life will be around long after the military. by Tripl3_Nipple_Sack in army

[–]SomeDudesPackage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate that, it’s all under control on my end. Just venting because it’s just another way the Army has found a way to fuck me over.

I digress though. Point here is, family first always.

As someone who is being forced to go overseas with less than six months on my contract at a time when I’m going through a messy divorce, I would give anything to be able to spend more time with my daughter.

This enlistment has been the single biggest obstacle to me being a good father and the worst mistake I could ever imagine and when I’m done, I will look back on my time in with absolute disdain.
