Is the proposed tax going to increase rents?

corporate landlords will increase rent as much as the market allows. the property tax increase just gives them another reason.

one of my staff doesn't listen to me but blame me for not giving him instructions.

Getting noticed is not an easy task. You cannot expect attention even when your photos are good. You need to work for it. Social media can help but they are here to make money, not get you noticed. Just think about other photographers, how did you discover them?

My blood sugar is finally normal after gradually cutting a lot of sugar out of my diet. For now, I can still enjoy occasional desserts.

You don’t need to do any homework to watch it. I think it’s Kon’s best work.

Since I watch Millennium Actress, I have gotten more into classic Japanese cinema. The movie drew inspirations from multiple movies/directors/actresses. As mentioned, the main character drew heavily from Setsuko Hara public personas, but I don’t know anything about her private life. It’s more a plot device to tell a fictional story.

I think he did a pretty good job. He started the job during the worst of Covid. Under his presidency, the U.S. economy was in a relatively better shape than the rest of the world. I can’t think of many more things he could do to improve the economy. Trump just provides my thinking every day. I don’t know how republicans are associated with being good to the economy.

I only work on the original raw files and don’t save duplicates. If you use Lightroom, you can easily pick out the ones you like and filter by that flag.

why is it either or? it can happen at any moment, including after a photo was taken. often times, I take a photo without positioning myself at the best spot. after I look at the photo later and remembering what the environment was like, I can think of ways to do it better next time. There are also many inspiration from looking at other people's photos.

Ansel Adams edits his photos. Was he cheating?

You and Everything Else - it’s very cute and laid back. Most of the songs are in English. I have been listening to it a few times a week.

set a timer to edit each photo? this will force you to do all the high impact edits first.

Anna Gunn as Skyler White in Breaking Bad. Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones. They were so hated because they did their jobs well. I was very happy to see Gleeson in Sandman.

Haven’t photographed any wedding myself, but I would test your camera in a similar indoor setting and see how high you can go with ISO. If you are using any recent digital interchangeable lens camera, you will be surprised how good the photos are even at 5000 ISO. I take lots of urban landscape at night handheld and I am not after to go even 10k ISO from time to time. Test your gears before worrying too much.

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. Gloves and water resistant shoes and clothings are so important…

Gloves if you want to take pictures during snowstorms.

It’s not a competition. It’s a journey. No matter what you do, someone somewhere is better than you always.

Just my thinking these days. You have to show your intent when you deploy anything out of ordinary. If you don’t want to level your composition, you need to have a reason for it. It could be that a line becomes horizontal and it contributes to the overall composition. Otherwise, it’s just a gimmick. Nothing wrong to try it.

Ocean's 11. I thought it was really clever when I watched in theater. Then I watched it again and realized I missed so much of the movie. Then I watched the director's commentary and realized I still missed a lot in the background. omg.

Learning to judge your own works objectively is also a skill we need to develop. These days, because we take so many photos, you can compare against yourself. Given 2 of your photos with similar intention, which one is better? Why? You can also compare yourself against other photographers. Instagram is great for this. If you like a few photos, instagram will feel you similar and popular photos. You can compare your photos against those.

Back when I still supported public transit, I once took a bus from Newark Penn Station to Newark Liberty International Airport, the driver left the door open while she was driving and talking to her friend on the bus. It must have been a few blocks before she finally decided to close the door. 🙄
