This is impressive... having dabbled in festivals it's amazing what they've pulled together to support the recovery of tornado-struck Menasha.

I use the 28mm a fair bit, that’s a good one too.

It was the f2.5. Wish I still had it! I sold all of my film gear except my Rolleiflex in 2005.

I haven't bought beef in a long time, but I recently picked up some bacon and was slack jawed by the cost of the good stuff! It's hard for me to accept the 'can't afford an EV' at face value. I picked up a used Chevy Bolt for about the same as an ICE alternative and it's saved me $ since.

My world is more government/nonprofit sustainability & clean energy, and same. The beef thing in particular is a huge cultural barrier.

I'm out of the restaurant biz (sold in 2019), but no doubt they're getting hit with fuel surcharges on all of their deliveries right now.

I've had to get refills of my daily "workhorse" inks. But I have bottles I've been using for years. It will depend on your usage. I have about 10 pens that cost $5—$30 and two that cost $30—$100. Finding old pens at estate sales and such is a good hunt too. No one needs a Montblanc.

French Market, New Orleans, 2019 #Photography #NewOrleans #StreetPhotography Another photo that I realized I've never shared before. I like this one. We were staying in the French Quarter, so I got up around daybreak and wandered around. They were just hosing down Bourbon Street...
A worker at the French Market in New Orleans waits for the morning to begin. He's reclined in a seat surrounded by chairs on tables. Color photo.

The way Kamala Harris talked about a vague tax on the middle class without using the word 'tariff,' always bothered me. People didn't know what she was talking about, didn't connect it to Trump's actions.

That's some good journalism, I've been wondering about this program. My kid is part of that second cohort, and while it saved us a little anxiety (though I never doubted they'd get in), it never felt particularly equitable to me.

We are probably mere hours away from the brain-damage machine that is this timeline spitting out the headline "The Kennedy Center has reopened to host the cancelled Ed Sheeran tour"

They've lost my 80-year old mother, who has watched 60 Minutes every Sunday for decades. There was no more loyal viewer.

You're so good at distilling things so that we can talk about them more easily. Thanks for that.

One of mine is, the other got off to a good start and then, seemingly, lost interest. So, based on that scientific study, parenting isn't a factor.

building (and its contents) had been purchased by a baker and she was just giving all of the books away. I walked out with armfuls—mostly photography and Pre-Columbian North American history. None of it stuff that I was looking for. I wish I'd seen your post yesterday, I would have checked. (3/3)

I love the hyper specific book mission! Good luck in your search. I had the opposite experience yesterday. In our wanderings, my wife and I passed a once glorious used bookstore—possibly the best in Wisconsin—that has been closed since the Pandemic. The stock there, which had grown oppressively(1/3)

I can remember a time when people would bring handheld DVD players onto the subway and be performative main character types amongst the novel and newspaper readers (reading a newspaper in a crowded train is a lost art).

Not that this is a great photo, though I do like it for some reason. But this retaining wall and the trees you see above it were torn out last week, and this arrangement of things and light will never happen again. The most mundane photos become documents of their time. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

I put up some new shelves and it pleased me to put my cameras on display temporarily. I’ll return most of them to a dust-free drawer when I get over the novelty of having a spot that fits them all. The Rolleiflex is my favorite. #BelieveInFilm

If you have been be-deviled by a Canon Pixma printer, the solution (pun intended) may just well be distilled water : isopropyl alcohol : ammonia in a 10 : 2 : 1 ratio. My printer has been non-functional for 2 years and following the instructions in the attached video resuscitated it! I am elated!

I think he's drawing from both... the undercurrent of divorce is very Spielbergian. I do have to say that seeing my own childhood era as a movie setting is making me feel old!

"A" was my best guess. I did enjoy how specifically 1982 it felt. I was 8 that year.

Saw it with my 18-year old, we thought it was fun. My question is: why did they choose to set it in the 1980s?

The end of the street abuts a park, the flood waters reflect, the shapes of bare trees are metastasizing. Black and white.
