That classic meme of the cartoon cat Heathcliff riding a ham-mobile with a helmet on that says "Ham" as two old ladies watch from the safety of a ham-colored house. One of the ladies, Grandma Nutmeg, is speaking. The caption reads, "Is it Thursday already?"
I'm going to do everything in my power to make this one of those weekly memes.
This morning I poured cereal into my cup and then stared at my empty bowl for like 30 seconds before I figured out what was wrong.
Click the fish.
Shot of a shaved ice cart selling cool snacks in a park in the summer.
A portrait of the photographer, with a pleasantly blurred background.
I do like the rendering of the 105, so I would recommend it.
I'm bouncing back and forth between formats right now as I test the different cameras. I want to spend a lot of time learning camera movements, so I will be shooting LF quite a bit, but MF is much more convenient for hiking.
But first I need to get the camera repaired: it has a broken frame counter mechanism so it won't arm the shutter without some trickery, and only gives 8 frames instead of 10 on a roll.
It came with the 105mm and a 200mm. I'm saving up to pick up a 55mm for landscapes.
This was an incredible find! The Leica was one of the most surprising inclusions: the collection was in boxes when I bought it after seeing the Pentax 6x7, the Speed Graphic, and a few folding cameras.
The previous owners inherited all of it from an uncle who collected it over a lifetime.
A rough-looking Nikon F camera with a badly dented metered prism.
A simple ANSCO branded plastic camera with a huge flash attachment.
A silver Panasonic VHS-C camcorder.
I'm now up to 126 cameras from this collection cleaned, function checked, and catalogued. The oldest so far is from 1904 and the newest from 2009.
I've got less than a dozen left to go.
Gonna shoot one heck of a camera timeline with these.
Two cats snuggle on a blanket.
Ages 10 months and 11 years, a nervous older buff boy and his brave, rambunctious orange kitten.
Mirror reflex is probably my favorite, for accuracy of composition primarily. Though I do love the focus accuracy of a well-calibrated rangefinder and the big ground glass of a proper TLR.
It got properly tough to read fluently at 1200, and I lost the plot entirely in 1100. There go my dreams of fluent communication with the subjects of William the Conqueror.
Every dumpster truck you see is an assertion of this false universe where Elon is smart, artistry doesn't matter, the driver is tough and cool, and apartheid's reign will never end. It shouts "THESE ARE NORMAL IDEAS" to all who see it, trying to impose that world on this one.

An illustration rendered to look prehistoric, as if it's on a stone tablet or stretched hide, shows an assortment of drawings depicting pieces of the following text. Narration: For anyone who may be losing faith in human progress, remember this: We invented the dildo 27,000 years before the gun.

Text: We invented pornographic art tens of thousands of years before written language. Image: A simplified cave art painting depicting a couple having sex in doggy-style. Caption: Cave art, Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria, 12,000 years ago.
Text: We invented the condom before steel. Image: An off-white, aged, sock-let with a long, ragged belt attached to it. Caption: Oil-soaked linen condom of King Tutankkamunn, 1332-1323 BCE
Text: Bread is older than war. Beer is older than borders. Image: A fancy loaf of bread, referenced from Pompeii, even though it's not the same time period as the caption, but it looks nice, ok?. Caption: Bread, 14,600-11,600 years ago. Text: We're better at making good things than bad. We've had more practice. Image: A barley field. Caption: Beer, 5,000 years ago.

Graphic design that reads: "No King But Gidora, No Gods But Gojira, No Surety But Mosura" in blocks of yellow (Gidora), green (Gojira), and Orange (Mosura), with symbols for each kaiju.
Clip from a Mothra film, where they design the Mothra symbol out of tables.
Okay, I think I like these designs better?
The Mothra symbol was most complicated, and I'm still not totally satisfied with it. I think I want it to look more like the version of the symbol they make out of tables, with the antennae-esque S-shaped sunbeam lines.
Proud of some of our Pennsylvania reps for seeing and speaking the truth, and for advocating for the real solutions.
Ernst Leitz II of Leica and his daughter worked to smuggle Jews out of Germany to escape the Holocaust. She was arrested for it. Leica doesn't seem to hide their WW2 history, including the bad parts (making rangefinders and cameras for the Nazis).

Shocking news out of Minneapolis
Joe and Eileen Bailey, the imaginary, middle-class Long Island couple @schumer.senate.gov consults to make political decisions, were killed by imaginary ICE Agents I use to try to get Chuck Schumer to understand the historical moment we want him to respond to.
A white lighthouse stands before the ocean, bathed gold and orange in the light of sunset. Behind it, a rainbow rises from the sea to arc faintly behind the light.
A photo from a lost roll from Acadia, now found and developed. Definitely among my most fortuitous shots; this spot was crowded, but people moved back just long enough for me to snap this rainbow & sunset.
Pro Image 100, Pentax K-1000, 24mm lens.

It genuinely looks brand new!
Looks so good!
It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.
Make a statement wherever you are with these stickers!
10% of profits will be donated to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.
Abolish ICE is the conservative position. Immediately trying ICE agents and DHS leaders for their crimes and abolishing the org is the moderate position.
Anything to the right of abolition is fascist.
i only want to hear about what a DHS spokesperson says if it's some variation of "ow ow ow i'm being crushed by this giant car crushing machine"
It's STFU Friday.

White text on a black background has the words "Reform, retrain, defund" crossed out. Below, white text reads "Abolish ICE."
It's always been abolish ICE.
For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.
I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.
We said goodbye to him tonight. I'll miss him forever.
