“Fujifilm and Minolta” Cedar Park, 2025

Today is National Camera Day! By coincidence, I had already gathered a few of my old film cameras to do some decluttering. In the photo above, you can see my current Fujifilm X-E4 sitting next to my Minolta Alpha 507si. I really enjoy using both of them. There’s still a roll of film loaded in the Minolta, so I’m planning to finish it and find out what’s on it. Always fun to see what surprises a forgotten roll might hold!

Dry Curry

“Dry Curry” Cedar Park, 2025

I’ve come to realize that curry is one of my favorite types of food. I love Japanese curry, Thai curry, Indian curry – pretty much every version I’ve tried. I honestly can’t remember ever having a curry I didn’t like. Tonight we had a dry curry, which brought back memories of a dish my mom used to make called “curry hamburger.” It was basically ground beef and vegetables cooked in a curry sauce, and it also had that dry-style consistency. Such a comforting and nostalgic meal!
