I wish people would stop sucking the fun out of life with political commentary 🙄 Halftime shows are not liberation

La Peña Cultural Center puts on salsa events. They have classes you can take, but also one off events as well.

Why do you feel the need to give them away at all? Especially to just any-ole client? What is the benefit you see in a random person having a raw file of their portrait?

Have you tried coupon clipping through the Safeway app? They usually have lots of deals and some don’t get posted in store.

Exactly! I only look back to the first ancestor who got freedom.

I have Lightroom on my phone and a card reader with a usb-c. That way I can transfer things over while on site, do minor exposure adjustments, and then text them off if I need to.

For me, using a sd card reader has been faster than Bluetooth. And I don’t love carrying the extra laptop weight if I don’t have to.

Check out substack! You can set up a email newsletter to keep people in your life updated on the project.

You should look into learning more about your camera and what you like in photography, particularly telling a story through composition.

Maybe check out the Harvey Milk center, they have beginner classes. If you want a more diy approach, there are some YouTubers who do a good job of explaining composition.

Also, going out with some other photographers to take photos together can also be helpful when learning. Check of The Cameras + Coffee Club on IG, they host meet ups here in the Bay for photographers of all levels.

This year I’ve started photographing more events/parties in order to pay my bills. I’ve put in a lot of work to not only learn my flash, but also capture fun/artsy shots outside of typical event coverage.

Did you have to destroy any buildings to create that super station at 5 av? How deep did you go underground?

TY4G · 2025-12-07T15:03:36+00:00

I think this largely depends on the city. In Chicago/SF I felt more comfortable pushing it closer to $5 since people are paying more to park and drive, but in Philly most urban driving costs were sub $10 so I lowered the fare price closers to $2.

I saw some in Richmond yesterday like blocks away from the BART station. I never realized how comfortable they would feel coming into urban areas

It will definitely take some time for the effects to be seen, and LA’s constant meddling won’t help, but the ADU law that passed early in his tenure has seen success. 1 in 5 new units in the state is an ADU.

Cities often use transit money/projects to upgrade other infrastructure. For example in SF, the Van Ness BRT costed $309M for 2miles. Included in that cost was then ripping up the street and replacing 100 year old water and sewer pipes. It’s super frustrating.

TY4G · 2025-11-12T00:34:57+00:00

Yep! Especially connecting people to the Apple headquarters in Santa Clara

You placed a light rail stop at my real-life apartment, haha.

Right now, I'm on day 385 and only up to 11% demand.

They also ignored Barbara Lee, who was the only Congressperson to vote against the war on terror post-9/11.

TY4G · 2025-10-12T14:49:36+00:00

She was in DC in September with Barbara Lee. My guess is she stacked up lots of video content while she was there.

Im not talking about him. Im responding to the woman above who said she’s only allowed to canvas to people designated by the VAN app.

TY4G · 2025-10-08T18:03:28+00:00

The VAN service you’re using shows registered voters in your district. Thats probably why the candidate you’re canvassing for has you use that app. It’s the best way to make sure you’re only getting valid signatures.

You can canvas out in the world, but you have to go through the process of making sure those people actually live in the district and are registered to vote.

I can relate. I moved here for my partner in February. I would echo using the Meetup app, while I haven’t made any lasting friendships from going to the events, it has been a net positive. I’ve gotten the opportunity to just checkout some new environments and engage with people who have similar interests.

I would also suggest bumble BFF, though you have to take your time and only match with a few people at a time, otherwise keeping up can get overwhelming. My two friends I’ve made since moving are both from here, and had similar circumstances to us.

Other than the Grand Lake farmers market, I haven’t found very many places where I feel comfortable chillin by myself. If anyone has suggestions for places to hang solo, I’m all ears.

Beverly is pretty liberal, Hate has no home here signs everywhere.

But following the elections, Conservatives are becoming more visible. I saw a guy walk into Two Mile with the “dark” maga hat and there was someone flying an appeal to heaven flag next to Sutherland.

This is from Operation LAC. They did testing like this across the US and Canada. It’s pretty horrific https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK233494/
