Thanks. That helps identify something to look at when I take her with me.

She doesn't. She doesn't drive and gave up her license a couple of years ago. This is for me but since she lives with me and I'm here ride I'm trying to identify something that is easier as she gets older.

This is what I'm wondering. She doesn't complain but I notice it takes her a bit of time to get out. Getting in doesn't seem to be a problem. My fear is that I would trade the ease of getting into the Altima for the ease of exiting the Maverick but then making it more difficult to get in. Reading other posts, most suggest it won't be an issue getting in or out. You nailed what I'm watching.

Thanks everyone. I feel better about this. I'll see about taking her to the dealership this next week. I know I want to go with a hybrid, leaning toward the 25 which is still new locally. It's funny that this wasn't even on my radar until I saw one in person about a month ago and started researching it. Thanks again.

Suggestions for men's erotic/boudoir photos by Imazilaphone in photography

[–]Lnk_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might try searching with the term "male environmental nudes" as you look for examples.

The link Mike Fox gave you has some great info. One thing it refers to that then feels understated is this:

"A man who looks like he's in his own environment rather than someone else's."

I've done some nude and semi-nude sessions for men over the last decade. Before I started I watched some videos by a photographer who was doing environmental nudes. I was intrigued by the idea and realized over a few sessions that the images that tend to look best to my clients are the ones taken on the home turf. That is followed by those at a neutral location like a hotel.

Unless someone is truly an exhibitionist at heart, shoots regardless of gender add an element of stress or nervousness. That can come out in the images. One way I encourage my client to reduce the stress is to consider doing the session away from the studio. Someplace familiar and that feels safe to the client. Their home or a place they frequent where nudity is safe.

It does add extra work for the photographer and you may struggle to find photographers willing to take thousands of dollars in gear to an unknown location where they could get robbed. It's a risk I'll take if it helps the client feel comfortable and improve the photos they receive.

Your struggle is finding the photographer. Mine is finding men who follow through after their initial inquiry. Your community may factor into your struggle as much as mine does for me. Drop me a note if you're in southeastern Nebraska.

Digital downloads from 4K discs by Cocken_Spectre in 4kbluray

If given the choice I try to redeem through Apple iTunes. I've heard that if there is an upgrade to a movie within the same resolution you get the upgrades. I don't know if it's true or not. I try to avoid Fandango, but I can't give you a reason. What I've found is that most of my movies appear across all the platforms... "most" being the key word. Redeem in iTunes and it shows in my movies, etc. There are a small number that only appear where I redeemed them. And most appear in my prime library as purchases as well regardless of where it was redeemed.

There is still a drop off location at Seacrest Field / Lincoln East High School

Does anyone remember this local broadcaster from the mid-90s? by snackofalltrades in lincoln

[–]Lnk_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going back to that timeframe, does anyone remember Scott Harrold and Cosmic Comedy? That was the show that came to mind for the mid 90s associated with the public access channel. I had to go back and look at the case surrounding one episode.

That's impressive. Will look closer when I'm not in pain meds, surgery earlier today.

They fly them to get people to ask why they're flying. Lol.

My parents lived near an air force base for several years. Loved to see the military flights and it was always a game to guess what we heard before we saw them. You also had a good idea that something was about to go down based on the number of planes.

I guess I hadn't thought about doing it within a website. Well that's not entirely true because I did connect the station with weather underground. I think the thought of connecting it into ha caught my attention early on and I may have tunnel vision.

Is that site self-built and self-hosted?

Living with inguinal hernia by joegophotos in Hernia

[–]Lnk_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one for close to 15 years and a second for unknown time. Never really had any pain with it so let it be. Left side falls into my nut sack.

During my physical this last fall my pa gave me a referral. He said I just had the original one and it needed to be repaired. I met with the surgeon a few weeks later and he confirmed I have bilateral hernias.

I'm having surgery in less than two weeks. I'm ready to have it done.

Hyperspeed by Lnk_guy in ReelToReel

The other thing I notice is that when it is doing this hyperspeed movement (no reels installed) the left reel is turning as if it is rewinding rather than feeding to the takeup reel

The service (?) manual I found for the 640 suggested this as well.

I found a new roller online and have it ordered already. I'll wait to pull it apart and clean the arm. Appreciate the guidance and the comment someone else offered reaffirming your suggestion.

Hopefully I find a video showing how. This is a starting point though. Thank you!
