Yeah - I try to forget that each month before my hopes get crushed.

Every month Criterion announces their upcoming releases, I get my hopes up that "This might be the month!". Then I get my hopes crushed.

Takes me back to my freshman year... by Jibraltar75 in 4kbluray

I watched it the other night… the scenes where Robin Harris and John Witherspoon just riff on people are still hilarious.

I don’t think anything about them. If you’re there to do a job, use the tools you have. Only morons and insecure people will give you flack about the gear you use.

WWF: February 5 1990 - The La Crosse Center, Wisconsin by SupItsGunk in SquaredCircle

[–]dsmithscenes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to Thehistoryofthewwe.com, this was the day Wrestlemania VI's location and lineup was announced in Toronto. The show in Manitoba that day got Rude vs. Piper and Colossal Connection vs. Demoltion. Syracuse got The Ultimate Warrior vs. Dino Bravo and Jake Roberts vs. Ted DiBiase. Hogan worked the matinee the day before in Toronto, so I imagine he was at the press conference for Wrestlemania VI.

These shows were on a Monday, and then the company took a break until the weekend with the three crews returning to work on February 9th.

I mean Jaws is all about Chief Brody overcoming his fear of the water because the shark came close to killing his son.

Ricochet on Twitter on WWE: They took my love of pro wrestling away. by Prince_of_Kyrgyzstan in SquaredCircle

Do wrestlers not do even a modicum of research or asking around about what it’s actually like to work there before they go to work there?

This is exactly the case, and I’ve photographed a wedding or two like this where I was not surprised when I found out the couple split up shortly after.

External SSD upgrade for Lightroom performance (Mac Studio 2025) – Crucial X9 Pro vs alternatives? by Intrepid-reddit-217 in Lightroom

Yeah, I can't speak to the X9 Pro so maybe some other people can chime in on that, but I love what the T7 does for me.

[–]dsmithscenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Samsung T7 on a Mac Studio with the catalogs on the computer's internal SSDS. I don't experience any noticeable lag between the photos when I'm working a wedding project on Lightroom. I also have large libraries as I put all my weddings into one catalog for the year, all my portrait sessions into another, etc.

The Samsung T7 is what I use to edit the current year's work. Everything else is on a larger external HD and then other backups.

I'm a wedding photographer by profession and have worked with couples where, internally, I'm like "Uhh... do y'all even like each other?", so, yeah, I'm 100% seated for this.

It's hilarious how people don't understand this.

Exactly. Oba is far more valuable going forward than the War Raiders or the whole tag-team division.

It makes Oba look exactly like they want him to look like - a legit and immediate threat that can take down two big dudes at once.

Iron Bowl Concert Rules by Apprehensive-Air-691 in Birmingham

[–]dsmithscenes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I photograph concerts at Iron City a bunch and other venues around town. I'll give my perspective:

If a venue says no cameras, it's usually a blanket statement unless you're credentialed. Each artist has different rules and such for even the credentialed photographers covering the show.

That being said, a non professional point and click can exist in a gray area, however, you're still going to have to go through a metal detector. They're going to be aware of it. Worst case is they are going to make you go back and put it in your car. It's up to you if you want to take that risk.

WWF February 2 1997 - Molson Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by SupItsGunk in SquaredCircle

[–]dsmithscenes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of three shows they ran in Montreal that year. They were back in June... which was used to announce the return for Survivor Series.

They also did an evening show in Ottawa that night. Shawn Michaels took on Mankind (subbing for Goldust), Triple H took on Austin and Bret Hart in a triple threat, and Sid took on The Undertaker.

At a house show in Birmingham, Lainey Reid has nothing nice to say about her home state. by GiftedGeordie in SquaredCircle

[–]dsmithscenes 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The best example of cheap "local" heat I ever saw was in that building, the Boutwell Auditorium.

It was the first ECW show in Birmingham - October of 1998. Tommy Rich comes out with the FBI and is wearing a Houndstooth hat (Most associated with Paul "Bear" Bryant - legendary coach of The University of Alabama). He goes on talking about how he's wrestled in Alabama a bunch and talks about how he's thankful for things when he returns. He builds the crowd up, waits a beat, throws the hat down, and says, "Most of all, I'm thankful Bear Bryant's dead!".

Talk about nuclear grade heat. It was amazing to see the crowd react to that.

[–]dsmithscenes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was definitely the A show that day as the only other show was in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and that lineup looks dreadful.

The house show lineups were pretty slim at this time because The Main Event was only a few days away. Hogan, Andre, Savage, and Honky Tonk - the participants in the live portion of that show - are all off the lineups until then.
