I’ve driven past that fucking cross too many times (more than zero!)

I took some great pictures like this recently but unfortunately I can't post them without doxxing my location. But now I think I'll go for a drive with my camera this weekend.

Same same. I’ve been more intentional with taking pictures of stuff - and it’s fun to share. I have a photo site, but it sucks (it’s Wordpress and I’m tech illiterate) and it’d doxx me for sure, otherwise I’d love to share it on the site.

Fun personal anecdotes - my mom’s side of the family had a few generations of newspaper photographers for the same paper in the late 1800s/early 1900s - it’s been cool to check out their work at the nearby university's archives. And the youngest of that “lineage” (and last professional photographer) shot a ton of Nat Geo photos in the mid century - so there are a few books dedicated to their work - which is also cool! And I’ve inherited a couple large photos from their personal collections complete with frames made by my grandpa!

Anyway - it’s cool to see so many different perspectives!! Happy photography :)

It's lovely to get to see pictures of relatives but you you actually get to see the world through their eyes! That must be amazing!

I'm very much an amateur and not a very experienced one when it comes to photography. I've been enjoying shooting so much lately, especially since I've been very emotional and I love capturing emotions in pictures.
