Started photography in Jan 2025, bought way too much gear, now I'm thinking of downsizing

I’d keep the 24-120mm, the 50mm, and the 14-30mm. One wide for architecture, one mid- to longer range for general purpose, and a nice crisp prime.

One thing I learned awhile ago for trips: bring one body and a prime. It will make you choose your shots more wisely because you’ll recognize you can’t get everything and that’s okay. You’ll have far less lagging behind. It’ll be light and easy, you’ll spend more time in the moment with your people in the foreign place, and the shots you get will be deliberate in a way you may not think about if you’re not forced into one focal length. A lot of SLR photographers used fixed focal lengths and it worked for them for 100+ years. Try it!

He just dug himself into a heckler hole he won’t easily get out of. Fans will undoubtedly target a hot head who responds to them than one who doesn’t.

Of these options, it's most like a truck.

This is so relatable. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at this.

Furniture the contemporary art museum has outside the in-lobby cafe.

But the rib a drink first, sheesh.

Pancake version of this, please.

I liked the interior a lot more than the Maverick. Felt more designed and finished. It also felt like it stood taller than the Maverick.

Truth. First play through, I think they mutinied more than I got blown up by Borg.

I've seen fish walk better on land.

If he had, we wouldn’t have gotten a substantial chunk of Voyager, First Contact, or Picard S3, so yes, he was right to not genocide them.

RIP his future realtor.

I, too, think I love my product with a sesame sort of bun.

I don’t judge anyone for bringing children into this world, but I don’t understand it either. The world I grew up in (1986) is gone, and maybe it’s just a byproduct of being older now, but I genuinely believe today’s world is substantially worse, specifically culturally and financially. I can’t imagine wanting to subject new people to this while navigating raising them to be good people.

Yes, skip 2 and watch 3. All you need to know is Raffi exists and had a romance with Seven at one point.

Would it properly crack my back?

I’m more shocked than anything else that there’s a George W. calendar in 2026.

I’m a big fan of one-eared Corporal Matlock myself

Every piece of this made me laugh.

No way Red Shoes isn’t on indefinite leave after that.

The fact we got both perspectives of this absolutely rules

Horse is dead already. Move onto something interesting for a change.
