    Lol it definitely helps! Cops just think I’m a nerd, and I am but I’m a nerd with illegal drugs ^the ^horror!

    That’s awesome, I still need a macro lens myself, and a telephoto, but it’s so much money I’m gonna have to save up for them. That’s ok though because I’m still learning how to really use it with the lens I have lol. I got a Fujifilm X-T4 with an 18-55mm 1.2-4f lens, got it used from KEH (online retailer, new iirc and used) to save a few bucks since I don’t have Facebook Marketplace.

    I like taking pictures of any animal I can get a good shot of and any cool mushrooms or flowers. I’m limited so far in that I can’t get super close ups without the macro or telephoto lenses, but I haven’t hit the lottery yet haha. Mostly lizards, snakes, turtles, and my/friend’s pets lol. I also used to write graffiti until the block got too hot, (I never said that) so I also like a bit of “urbex” as they call it as well, or as I call it “trespassing around looking for good graff.” I’m also trying to figure out a good spot near me to “bench,” which is just railfanning for graffiti writers, waiting for trains to photo (looking for the graff on the freight cars, the railfans like the engines.) There’s tracks 3min from my door but idk if they’re rolling slow enough and I only hear them pass by at night, I need sunlight!

    Just about the only thing I don’t like photographing is people, mostly because idk how to and people are always “let me see, oh I don’t like that one take another” and it becomes a whole thing. I’d like to find someone willing to help me practice but also feel creepy trying to ask, so I’ll wait until that opportunity knocks, it will I’m sure.
