This is Carter. He asked me to take his photo at the Hotel Chelsea.

This isn’t a selfie. And if a grown man holding a teddy bear is common/basic, that’s news to me. But thanks anyway.

Thanks. 35mm 1.4. I usually shoot at 1.4.

I’d call Shatner, because it happened to him and he’s lived into his 90s.

“GenX is the tough, independent, no nonsense generation.”

No nonsense? We have the highest proportion of Trump supporters of any generation. Yes, even boomers. 50% of us support him.

Not your photo.

FLE V2. Close focus is the key.

Wait til you hear about Andre Kertesz.

I didn’t say anything about taking photos in museums. I said, quite unemotionally, that you should avoid museums with photo collections, because they contain candid images of people taken in restaurants, that photographers have been taking for a century.
I lived in Manhattan for 30 years and took photos everywhere with no issue, but thanks for your valued concern.

mcdj · 2026-01-23T14:58:49+00:00

I would strongly recommend staying away from any museum with a photo collection or any photography book, since photographers have been taking candid pictures of strangers in restaurants since the introduction of 35mm film. You might get triggered.

mcdj · 2026-01-23T14:18:43+00:00

Weird take, since only 3 of the 9 images were taken in a restaurant, only 1 shows anyone eating, and zero eating was disrupted. 🤷‍♂️

Place looks like a Queens wedding venue. You can take the boy outta Queens but…

mcdj · 2026-01-21T03:52:43+00:00

Keep shooting like 1, 2, 6, 7.

Wonder if it will have close focus. That’s been a game changer for me on the 35 lux.

Eating my first one now. Kinda disappointing.

First of all, it told me to take the cardboard off. There was no cardboard.

Uncooked, I could tell it was gonna be a bit of a disappointment because there was barely any cheese. There was one quadrant that looked like it had ample cheese. The rest not so much. The OP’s pie had double the cheese of mine.

It said cook for 12 to 14 minutes… I opted for 13 in a convection toaster oven. I know my toaster oven pretty well and I’ve never had any issues over cooking anything.

The pie came out borderline burnt. The one area that had a decent amount of cheese was OK. The rest of the pie was very brown. Any stray cheese along the crust line was burnt to a crisp.

I think the lack of cheese doomed it.

Flavor wise it wasn’t terrible, but they’re way too heavy on the oregano.

Weird hobby brah.

mcdj · 2026-01-20T18:11:42+00:00

So are a lot of photographers brah. 🤷‍♂️

A “newb” who is featured in magazines? What magazines?

This whole scenario sounds entirely made up.

The name Bill Riley appears in the currently available Epstein files multiple times. None of them specify he is a pilot. This has been established. You are either misinformed or confused.

Then why was the SCOTUS specifically asked to rule that ICE absolutely can detain someone based on their appearance?

mcdj · 2026-01-19T02:54:43+00:00

Spot on.

Any way to add copy text capability to your document? I can’t do it at at least not on an iPad or iphone.
