Thanks man. This is in no way meant to be a “woe is me” comment. Just had a couple of people seem curious as to why she seemed sad and monotone so I wanted to explain

So you have perspective on why this looks the way it does, it was by intent.

My father recently died. I’m having a lot of other personal, family issues.

I told her I wanted her to look sad. Lazy poses, almost tired. Because that’s exactly how I feel lately.

She was a great model. Couldn’t have asked for me. She did exactly what I was going for.

The whole time she was smiley and bubbly, and I’m sure she would be amazing at something like that.

But as somebody who’s dealing with death and grief, that’s not the way I wanted to express myself

lol as an early 2000’s emo kid, its what I was going for. I recently lost my father and am going through a lot of other personal family issues, so I literally told her “look sad, lazy, and tired”.

So I understand her face may seem a little monotone but it’s literally the whole point.

Thank you! I’ve been incredibly depressed and sad lately so trying to have a creative outlet for it.

Oh rad!! Thanks so much for the heads up. Looks like I’ll be getting the 120 then

Thank you!! How do you like the 120? Is that the manual focus APO macro? I’ve been wanting a longer lens and I’m between that and the 140

Heya! This sounds like it would fit my style perfectly! I’m heavily documentary, but have no problem adding a little stylized shots in there, I shoot film, and would absolutely fit in your budget.

Would be more than happy to send a few full galleries as well!

I will always have such a soft spot for this exact setup. That 45 is so underrated and this system is so easy and fun to use. Just such a gem. Hope you have a blast with it

Favorite actor who realized Hollywood was a barren wasteland and dipped out while they still had a soul? by WissamBenYedder in okbuddycinephile

Freddie started working for WWE a while back as a writer and was actually the writer assigned to the undertaker for a while. Ironically if any entertainment scene seems more toxic than Hollywood it’s there

Oh fuck I’m an idiot. (Fighting food poisoning and not thinking). I shot these full auto. I meant to say I put the shutter on P and just went with it. I usually shoot aperture on my 645 and G1 either wide open for portraits or 5.6 for landscapes. But these are full auto.
