When I was at my vcousins wedding near Stockton over the weekend, my uncle from Seattle, whom I think I haven't seen since 1991, told be he just bought my personal favorite vehicle, a new '17Chevrolet Silverado. Wish I had a photo, but those things are gorgeous. To be fair, I do think Chevy, Ford and Ram are all producing some gorgeous trucks right at the moment. Previous to '15, when I saw a Silverado parked on the screen while I was watching a Tulsa Roughnecks soccer match on TV (so random), I really didn't care about trucks, or anything American. I never liked what I saw to be Trump-loving-manmobiles.
Now, I couldn't care less. I need to start listening to country, too.

Rayaan is me. Unless some family member is snapping a photo of me and forcing me to smile. Then I just get creepy. Especially if some attractive female is posing with me. I am hopeless.

But, seriously, I think I was a little bit smiley in that pic.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The other day, I got a new toy - an 18X telephoto lens with an adapter for the phone. It's a cheap thing at less than 20€ that clearly distorts the image, but still... it can do some neat things...

You try to get this out of your iphones and pixels without some extra help.

I'll repeat myself a bit, because not everyone reads the facebook
I wrote earlier that..the best photographers look not only with their eyes, but the most beautiful photos come out when you look with your heart and soul open, when your mind reaches beyond the borders ...For example me ...i have a good visual memory i see a lot but my pictures are not so good as yours.. You see more, so you look not only with your eyes what is the feature of the best photographers!!! I think you have what it takes...you have something, something more which allows you to tame/subdue this beauty with the camera...
....and as we can see not only with camera ..but also with ordinary Xiaomi Redmi 4 phone camera
i love your pics, so keep it up!!!

It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."

That picture is awesome.
