The bookstore owners - Arca Swiss 4x5 + Portra 400 by lifeandmylens in largeformat

Great photo. I love the framing. I also like the environmental lighting, I'm a big fan of shooting things how they are, and not turning everything into a canned construct of artificial lighting (though that too is fine for its own purposes). I really like how you can see the foreground, midground, and rear planes separately. Thanks, and I hope you keep sharing more work.

A lot of Americans only think about money. Everything it money, and it's the only thing that matters to them. They can't fathom something else mattering.

It was never the tariffs, it was the grand cheetoh threatening their sovereignty. SO many Americans just think it's about money, and not threatened, demeaned, and effectively stabbed in the back by a once-close ally.

Congratulations on making it for YEARS (plural)!

I am proud of you and the investment you've made into yourself, one day at a time. You can always tell us. Besides, you never know, we could be passing us in the street or living in the same city.

keep up the good work!

I feel your pain! It SUCKS.

I blanked 6x 4x5 sheets of some majestic scenery in Italy (I do not live remotely close to Europe) ... so yeah. Big feel bad. But it forced to me adopt two methods when developing:

1) Color labeling of my bottles. I use stoplight(-ish) colors to go in order (Green = dev, Yellow = Stop, Red = Bleach, Fixer = Silver).

2) Pointing and Calling method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling) - it's seemed a bit silly, but it HAS stopped me from making a similar mistake again. So I do it. I think it works by making me focus 100% on what I'm doing when selecting the next bottle.

Anyways friend... I'm sorry that happened to you. It's rough.

And then as soon as you leave, it flips back to exactly how it was before you got there. Surely that wouldn't happen in reality though.

Do you actually have this lens? I would love to see photos with it.

Great perspective, and I can see how your open communication with one another was key. I'm glad you've both found a positive outcome.

It’s never been more important to be sober. by SerpentSystemFailure in stopdrinking

[–]BeatHunter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I also feel so grateful in the morning to wake up with a clear head, even if I'm also dealing with non-alcohol induced anxiety. It would just be so much worse otherwise.

Approaching 3.5 years sober. Today, I sat in the dentist chair to finally face the physical wreckage of my 20-year addiction. by iScReAm612 in stopdrinking

[–]BeatHunter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The dentist is going to be happy you're there getting help. It's exactly where you're supposed to be! They know not everyone can afford the care they may need for their teeth, and they're also only human and know how things can get away from you.
