As this needless blog’s author, it is vital that I come up with new and fantastical ways to convey stories about my trivial life. This was super easy when racing bikes or at very least riding them. But these days, I am just another fat middle-class white guy on the conveyor belt of life looking for the tiniest shreds of happiness to get me through one day and on to the next. Goddamn, I love the smell of hyperbole in the morning!!
All semi-truths and joking aside, as much as I love writing this shit show, and sharing photos, some weeks I struggle to post anything at all. Some of that is laziness, some of that is time restraints, and some of that is a raging case of why can’t you just be like everyone else in the world and post your photos, kooky opinions, and unfunny sophomoric witticisms on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram?
While I can’t answer with any certainty why I continue to write this blog when I literally have nothing to offer the world wide web other than making others feel better about themselves via my follies and shortcomings, I do have some photos from my recent photo creep around Meridian Park.
It was a wet morning, and I headed to the park with my 150-600mm lens in search of birds and critters, but after one quick lap around the wet, mosquito-filled woods and river banks, I headed to the car and switched to a vintage Lester A. Dine macro lens that was gifted to me a few years back.

Despite the mosquitos finding their way through the layers of Off! on my body and being soaked by the wet overgrown brush along the trails, I had one of my best days of macro shooting in a while and left with a smile on my face and enough happy moments to easily get me through another day.
All of the photos seen here were shot handheld with the Nikon z6 and the manual focus Lester A. Dine lens. I know there are a lot of photos, and you’re probably bitching me out for not making a gallery, but sometimes it just be like that.
