Thanks, @golden.future!

Thanks so much, @ezzy. It really has been. Plus, who can argue with double birthdays?! :P

Thanks, my friend. It's been really incredible. Exhausting, but incredible. I've been taking surprisingly good care of myself. I've been sleeping at least 8 hours a night [...I feel most of that is because

You need to add Hobbiton to your bucket list, @nateaguila! It was life changing event.

Thank you, @lighteye! I've gotten reacquainted with my camera in a very intimate way on this trip. Also SO grateful that I don't use lighting equipment. Nothing to bring but my camera body. The entire

HAHA! Thanks, @davidfar! I did make some videos. I'll probably be uploading those in a future post. Sadly, we weren't able to go in the houses. It was still outstanding, though.

That was some real "Ghostbusters II" sky tonight.

HAHAHA! I’ve never seen this, but lost it at “...alright. See you guys later.”. WTF?!

She's a beauty, @artedellavita, and she told me she received the photos in the subway and started crying. That's such a sweet thought.

Thank you, @yanes94! That's definitely true. My trips are often unpredictable and don't go as planned. Hitting a 72 has been really cool.

Damn, @ezzy! Congratulations! I'm in such awe and admiration of all the regular Steemians in the high 70's. What an awesome milestone!

WHOA! This looks like concept art for The Last Of Us! Zombie🧟‍♂️

Thanks @daltono! Yes. I've always been an early adopter and unapologetic technology enthusiasts. The original iPhone just celebrated it's 12 year anniversary and I remember standing in line at an AT&T
