Issue No. 5 - Road Trip. As the year finished up I hit the road for a couple of work trips and a quick trip to the Bay Area to see my parents. You’ll find the obligatory shot out of the plane window repeated a few times in this batch. The first stop took me from L.A. to Dallas, a city I visited for the first time despite countless airport layovers. I won’t be rushing back there anytime soon. Thankfully, that was a quick 36 hours before spending a couple of days in Salt Lake City. We shot a spot with the Utah Mammoth hockey team, saw a game, and got to check out their new state-of-the-art practice facility. The Bay Area pics are a collection of snaps from the peninsula and a day in S.F., including seeing the Manet and Morisot show, the Yoda fountain, a first Waymo ride for my youngest, and walks around the Mission. All of this month’s photos were shot with the Yashica using Portra 400. The 400 is adding a lot of richness to the images as I continue to get used to using this camera. Five months into this project and I am spending way less time on my phone, specifically Instagram. So, that’s a win moving into 2026. Happy New Year!
