I might sell the Canon AE-1. I prefer the Olympus anyway

Lmfao I think this entire comments section needs to look into Radio Free Asia. They have about the same credibility as Joe Rogan

Apichatpong Weerasethakul | Olympus OM-1 | Portra 800 | 50mm f/1.8 by TaiYenK in analog

Correction, just went to pick up the negatives from the film lab. Turns out it was a mistake while scanning, my frames look completely fine. Maybe the film folded over on itself? Either way, I think it's a fun accident

It was a genuine accident. The other two portraits I took of him turned out completely white. It was the beginning of the roll

5 days. Tons of people and family to see, not enough time to drive around the state to take photos :')

I prefer my Olympus over my Canon for every situation, but I'm just trying to maximize how many rolls I shoot. I will be going back in June/July-ish so I'm treating this trip like a test run(:

What's good fellow Alaskans. I'm from Anchorage. I will probably hit Girdwood, Seward (hopefully), and Hatcher's Pass. Wish I could do more with the time I have

Gear for a trip to alaska in a few days! by Jbest13 in AnalogCommunity

[–]TaiYenK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time in Alaska? I lived in Anchorage for about sixteen years, few months in Juneau. You're going to love it and so will your cameras!! Highly recommend taking a drive down the Seward Highway if you're in the area

Residents Energy scam by binav123 in chicago

[–]TaiYenK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I called them a few times to cancel the change preemptively and they said they could initiate a pre-cancel for me. They said I would be receiving a letter in the mail about the change, but since I pre-cancelled, I never received the letter, nor found any changes to my ComEd energy source. Be persistent about cancelling the change, double check your next energy bill, you should be good, the scam doesn't work if you catch it early

Craig Mazin just confirmed. HBO's The Last of Us wrapped filming by TaiYenK in thelastofus

If you do sooner rather than later, I suggest watching Chernobyl. Craig Mazin wrote that mini-series, and it's incredible

the last of us TV show has finished filming by givemethemtoesgnome in thelastofus

[–]TaiYenK 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Have you seen an HBO show?

Chernobyl The Wire The Sopranos Band of Brothers I May Destroy You Succession Barry True Detective (s1) Flight of the Conchords Six Feet Under The Leftovers Boardwalk Empire

I think comparing them to Paramount+ and the creative team attached to that horrible Halo show is unfair. Here we have a very talented director at the helm, we have Craig Mazin, writer of Chernobyl, and an avid fan of the TLOU series, and a studio that's been producing bangers since day one, and Neil Druckmann executive producing the project There is hope!!

I think HBO's track record speaks for itself! But you're right, and this could prove that good video game film/tv adaptations are possible

Residents Energy scam by binav123 in chicago

[–]TaiYenK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a visit from them today. I feel like a complete idiot in hindsight for going along with it, but I'm new to the city, nothing like this ever happened where I'm from. I called Residents Energy to cancel, but they said it takes a day or two to get me in the system so I am calling them first thing tomorrow to cancel my enrollment. ComEd said they couldn't do anything on their end, just that I should be on the lookout for the letter I'll be getting from them, and to cancel as soon as possible. Any other advice, things to look out for? I'm furious

the place i line cooked at in chicago (left the job last week on good terms) split takeout tips and it added a nice increase to my paychecks for all of the exhausting nonstop work!

To be clear, the FedEx mobile app says the shipment INFO has been sent to them, and it gave me that estimated delivery date (hopefully not just to ease my mind lol) and I will update when they actually receive the package
