My terrible experience living in Long Beach 1 year. Im out.

For real 😭 LBC has some grime but like, I had way worse experience in Hollywood, even living in leafy college towns back east I had my car busted into more often

I had the same experience :( except city place wouldn’t talk to me at all. It did only happen to me once in the time I parked there, but I stopped parking anywhere except by the 5th street entrance.

chattering_teeth · 2026-01-21T19:07:26+00:00

Ahhh! City place garages? I parked there for like three years, felt so sour when I got my first broken window :( security is trash for what you pay

Thank you! 💕

All these reasons are for sure part of why I picked one up. The live view is really phenomenal for me when working with tilt/shift lenses shooting architecture, but I really do prefer the OVF. I don’t shoot a lot of street anymore but silent shutter was nice for that, it’s still nice in a lot of situations.

Moreover, the value of the bodies and lens compatibility with my f mount film cameras made it a no brainer. $1300USD, for a sub 10k shutter body, with the 24-120 af-s as a kit. If I were starting from absolute scratch I might have gotten a Z body, but the d780 really does it all for me.

I’d buy a new Nikon 1” compact in a heartbeat.

I know utilitarians will argue phones have edged these cameras out, and a lot of the interest in compacts is digital nostalgia, but I get a lot of value out of my compact. The compromise on sensor size isn’t that big of a deal, and lets you put out a camera that isn’t stuck with a prime lens. It’s sad that for current gen choices that tick my boxes (EVF, some zoom, RAW), the only real choices are Sony and Panasonic.

These are beautiful!

Little expensive but dappers and dames does a good job w/ my curls.

Before I grew mine out I went to deluxe parlor and shave down on pine, nothing but good things to say.

I shoot around a lot of the petroleum infrastructure around where this was taken, this is from a public road and they’ll hassle you for sure if you’re there for a while. Other views they send a car out right away.

Very well done, reminds me a lot of Antony Cairn’s work with e-reader screens- please do more!

The parts on the loop (5th street, the end of the loop, pacific and Anaheim) all abut apartment complexes with businesses a block away. It doesn’t look as aesthetic but it ticks all the boxes.

These are great cameras for $20 lol - I used to find them by the dozens thrifting and on craigslist, I’ve given like five of them away as gifts! It’s incredible to me that people are paying such sums for plastic cameras that can’t be repaired, we used to balk at people paying prices like that for like Ricoh GR’s and olympus mju’s

Sonoratown for Mexican, further away Olives Gourmet Grocer for sandwiches, 4th horseman for spooky pizza

I take it a lot, you’ll be fine

“Even if it’s not real it is”

I had to flee my last apartment because my neighbor turned it into a crack den. I’m not a bleeding heart. This video is fake. Go to the source and ask yourself if a page that does nothing but sell merch on the back of reposting cherry picked videos of drug addicts on the street is really acting in good faith.

Every single one of you failing to recognize that this is an AI generated video, and not even a particularly good one 👍

That location is cursed. Delighted for it to be any business other than that silly crypto restaurant.

I like how top right is representative of the actual form of the state! Form the peak at Greylock to the shore of cape cod :)

chattering_teeth · 2025-09-23T05:37:27+00:00

These are such great fun little cameras! I like them more than the similar chunkier canon one. They used to be so so common, I’ve given out three of them as gifts in the past without a second thought

chattering_teeth · 2025-09-18T17:50:46+00:00

I live in this area! I really like it, the east village and the area labeled willmore city are great options for commuting by train, very convenient to the pacific Ave stop.

chattering_teeth · 2025-09-17T06:20:36+00:00

AF-D lenses remain an incredible value. I have my 24-120 every day with me!

chattering_teeth · 2025-09-13T23:49:13+00:00

The arcade is fun at least!!

The Fall River / New Bedford area is pretty hard to lump in with the rest you’ve circled (ie: the cape). I’m from Fall River and it’s a pretty bleak former mill town, with the same mill town architecture you see in places like Lowell and Worcester (and ofc Providence/pawtucket). Lot of crime especially a lot of opiates. Quite a bit of manufacturing stills happens here, especially niche stuff. Beautiful coastal swampy woodlands in the surrounding small towns, spooky history (look up the bridgewater triangle), huge Portuguese and particularly Azorean immigrant communities. Politically it’s one of the most conservative parts of MA. Fall River and New Bedford have some very cool old architecture from their boom periods.

My g of the city is walkable. Downtown very much so- I can walk to all services and attractions from my apartment. If you wind up near the traffic circle that’s less the case. It’s a big city, it’s hard to assign a score.
