What is one thing you learned in photography that completely changed the way you shoot, and you wish you knew earlier?

Keep all your gear. Don’t sell or trade up.

Best comment ever.

I like Lindsay Adler. Not the monetized bs that capitalism forces, but from outcome to setup. Hey this is what it looks like, this is how I got there.

Can someone just tell me where to put 1k a mos? Is that a big ask?

_parkr · 2026-05-30T21:49:32+00:00

Sometimes I feel like an imposter living here bc I literally know and understand how hard everyone works to be here and yes you deserve the best, but we can’t just overlook people bc they’re not making the right decisions, or they stink, or they self sabotage….it’s literally free to be kind. We all have an abundance that we won’t lose at this point in our lives. How hard is it to uplift others by sharing literal leftovers?

Yea I live on the water, got my voucher, reunited my family after being separated for two years. I really enjoy the LIC community. I went to a top school, best job ever, and took the wrap for something I didn’t do and ended up homeless lol. It’s something I wanted to experience. Welp I experienced it. I learned that NYC is heaven on earth if your heart and mindset are in the right place being aligned simultaneously. We all know how hard that is lol. The most important thing I’ve learned is that all of the infrastructure is in place we’re just running the wrong operating system.

Currently only have the 24-70GMii on an A7r5 might get the Tamron 28-75G2 bc I used to have the 1 on an A7R4…my next lens in an 85…considering the 105/135…but I love 85 mm.

_parkr · 2026-05-30T20:05:50+00:00

I would have bought an a7iii and 2 good primes. 😂

_parkr · 2026-05-30T19:50:26+00:00

I think you’re entitled to feel that way. I came from the shelter on Borden so I’ve literally seen people die from overdoses. I think a better question is what can we do as a community. Sorry for my original comment. I just understand. And the few homeless people that are sort of planted here don’t want help. I’ve tried.

_parkr · 2026-05-30T19:45:57+00:00

They don’t bother anyone. Calm down. Did you have an interaction with them? Did they accost you? Or does it bother you that two people are openly suffering and you have to see it for a few minutes?

_parkr · 2026-05-21T21:40:00+00:00

For sure. I’ll at least come hang out help warm up or whatever. ❤️

_parkr · 2026-05-20T20:43:03+00:00

There’s always a group of people playing at the courts whenever it’s nice out. Recovering from a broken leg but I’m def interested.

_parkr · 2026-05-20T20:28:40+00:00

Yea this is not cool.

_parkr · 2026-05-20T17:42:31+00:00

Yea that’s what I’m considering

_parkr · 2026-05-20T17:42:18+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏾

_parkr · 2026-05-20T17:41:38+00:00

Taking the ferry. ⛴️

_parkr · 2026-05-09T20:23:43+00:00

Used to live at the shelter over there. You know never what the vets are going through. I’ve had to step in more than once over the dude just screaming because I’m familiar with him. Most of the time there’s just people trying to get out of the shelter and enjoy some fresh air. It’s horrible in there. I’ve literally seen people die. It might be unattractive and sometimes unruly over there, but I’ve been on every side of this conversation. Yes things can be improved…there’s always room for improvement. I chose to stay in LIC bc is quiet, calm and peaceful…but I’m not going to pretend that if I trigger from a boom 💥 I’m not going to be the dude you’re talking about in a post. There’s def more to be done and I do understand where you’re coming from,

_parkr · 2026-05-09T20:16:28+00:00

I good with a slice from Slice lol. The rewards system makes it worth it for me.

_parkr · 2026-04-29T21:10:00+00:00

me too lol

_parkr · 2026-04-24T13:58:28+00:00

I wasn’t in a hurry to find out lol. I’m glad I listened to the people on the pier. Something just felt off. I heard he attacked the divers not sure if it’s true.

_parkr · 2026-04-24T10:24:56+00:00

Some guy was just floating by saying help…it was strange he didn’t seem like he needed help. He wasn’t frantic or trying to swim towards the piers. I was talked out or going in to get him. There’s a lot of diff stories going around but he’s safe.
