The M is the sweet spot of user-experience and capability in most conditions for my preferences. The digital is better when it matters but not as fun. My Barnacks are more fun but not as reactive. A handful of other cameras are more useful in their narrow niches. Etc etc.

Hits (and Hit-types) are so cute and so, so shitty
#ShittyCameraChallenge The original #Charmera, the Tougodo Hit (www.ephotozine.com/article/coll..., mitxela.com/projects/dig...). No idea of the state of all the films (1 was still in the camera), but only arrived yesterday. Too late for the challenge.

I dunno I still think it's pretty funny that now the right has to pretend they like Kid Rock's music because he's one of them

Finally made it to the Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain. A very early start & a 600 mile round trip. Was it worth it? Absolutely!!

I have decided confidence must be a zero-sum and the reason why I never have any in my own works is because it's all already misguidedly used up by the sorts of people who think they're actually good at driving their giant trucks

Before the internet I dreamed of being a famous artist but now that we have the internet and I see the absolute insane chuds anyone with a scrap of fame has to deal with I feel like I dodged not one bullet but in fact went full Neo on a whole barrage

"What radicalized you?" watching which people treated others with kindness, compassion, and respect without being compelled to by external authority, and noting how their beliefs differed from those who had to be compelled to it

Thinking about this one again for... reasons
One of the worse aspects of this time in the US is how successfully the right has convinced people that issues of morality should be framed as political disagreements

See alt-text but the 28mm is a Brightin Star (great little lens). The two Elmars are different FLs: 90mm and 135mm. Sticking with the Elmars for those means all four Leitz lenses take the same E39 filters for convenience.

If there's ever not at least one camera on the couch that means I'm too depressed to even pretend I'll pick it up and that's a bad sign. I think. So far we've not ever made it that far.
