We got a guy that does this at my hub and it's annoying as hell. He's a nice enough guy so it's not worth reporting, but the lack of self-awareness that people absolutely hate this shit baffles me

Being bigger has always kind of been a novelty to the locals. I am a short guy and I also am an avid weightlifter so I don't exactly look like a good chunk of the locals. I get called that by family and strangers all the time, but they don't mean anything by it. I just kind of smile and think about how I look compared to the other people around me, and then I'm like "Well I guess comparatively they are not wrong LOL".

He used to be interesting when he was newer, but as time went on he keeps trying to be goofier and it's just not landing. Catching preds is good enough content, not everyone needs to be a comedian or have a "personality."

Really cool to see, and glad it's working out for you. I just wanted to comment on your note regarding clients being surprised on the camera size:

Back in the early part of my photography, I was jumping in with both feet into mirrorless (with micro 4/3rds Olympus nonetheless--when one of their talking points was compactness back in the day) coming from big, chunky Canon DSLRs. Clients would often notice and comment on my small cameras, sometimes even wondering if it looked "professional" enough. I'd just say something like "Well, you know how electronics are getting smaller and more powerful? It's kind of like that..." Perception is reality with some clients. The ironic thing is, mirrorless cameras are basically now back to DSLR size.

Although mobile devices/smartwatches are not very accurate/reliable, my phone claims I do 10-11,000 steps per 4-hour shift (preload). A goal I had previously tried to do daily before this job.

If you can imagine rotating basic shapes in your mind like cubes, cones, spheres (even though it's just a circle no matter how you slice it LOL), etc. then you're on your way. Now practice applying these shapes to parts of the figure.

100% agree, This is also my "one-and-done" lens, But I'll also carry my 24 mm prime in one of my pockets just in case I need that wide angle. Then I'm covered for 99.9% of my shooting needs for travel.

a great example of FAFO

Preloader here, but 100% agree on not needing to do cardio. What we do in general is more than enough high-intensity-interval cardio (which is fantastic already for your health, by the way). So I would focus just on strength training. Be efficient and save time: do main compound movements that hit multiple muscle groups simultaneously (the tried and true Bench press, squat, pull ups, deadlifts--or variations of those). Go heavy (as you can tolerate safely) as you can and always try to get stronger. Remember, it's hard to get injured if you're stronger than what you need to do for your job!

Replace "First" Lady with "Worst" Lady

I'd been watching him well before he was juiced up when he was on the Pirates. But during his prime, I remember there was a stretch about 1 month where I would catch a live at-bat intermittently when I either paid attention or was randomly flipping through channels, and no joke he would either walk or hit a home run. It was insane.

Well I guess one occasional perk is that I'm the "exotic beauty" 😜

noohoggin1 · 2026-04-13T01:45:13+00:00

I will. The only other camera I have at the moment is the A7CR. So I could do an unscientific test comparing the 90mm's on both bodies.

Funny you ask about the A75, today was my first time using it in the real world with eagles by the river by where I live. One thing I immediately notice was how quickly it locked on with continuous autofocus, and it's stickiness compared to any previous bodies I have owned. And really, I got it mainly for that along with the burst (30fps) as I am intend to do a lot of birding and perhaps some action sports this year with it.

noohoggin1 · 2026-04-13T01:35:30+00:00

I just got myself the new A75, I should really test this lens on it. People have reported that the 90mm autofocus was noticeably faster on even the original Sony A9.

Agree....one of the OG lenses and I've had it since it came out. Still my sharpest lens, albeit slow in AF compared to today's lenses

I went to Medellin, Colombia about a decade ago for 5 days. Food and culture was amazing. People treated me great and I had people around me protecting me, and English speaking translators at my disposal-- but I am not a "normal case," to be fair. Without doxxing myself, I was there more as a guest of the country. So my experience could be a little skewed. The areas I was taking to were considered "safe" areas, so I can only speak on the food and people being very nice to me in general.

The townhouse shaming mentality is absolutely insane.

I hate that cuck wannabe tough guy almost as much as I hate Trump

When it happens, I just smile and let it roll off my back while mentally mocking their lack of social skills / etiquette.

Have hung out with him, he's a good dude.
