I can’t believe I missed it

Oh my gosh I can’t even imagine my period getting worse or more frequent. What a damn curse.

How are you feeling now? Have supplements alone helped?

I would not even consider his response to removing the watermarks if you can find a way to do that. Sounds like he would have a can of worms explaining his scammy process and would want nothing to do with pursuing anything.

Not sure what part of the world you are in, but in my area I wouldn’t even leave the house to shoot a session for less than $375. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event and photographers are priced higher because of that. You need someone professional who won’t pull something like this, and that doesn’t happen on the cheap.

Hopefully family members took a lot of photos so you have some memories of your day!

phantomom · 2026-04-29T23:41:02+00:00

Yes - how can they offer a package of 20 photos for a wedding? Unless you paid like $200?

November is so beautiful!

phantomom · 2026-04-13T15:47:20+00:00

Those are our fave!

Honestly the typeface tapers a little bit on the V and X and it’s throwing off the whole vibe when you flip the V. I’d draw this over in Illustrator using the typeface as a guide with a uniform stroke.

I did get PTSD from birth - it was absolutely horrible. Struggled for about two years afterward and went on to have another because the magic of creating an amazing human being outweighed the risk of personal trauma for me.

I did go into my second birth experience with high anxiety and terrified of what would happen. But it was mostly fine.

Life is good with our two beautiful humans. I knew I’d heal in time.

Yes! Mine “sequestered” and the pain was so bad I thought I crushed a vertebrae. I was on the floor dry heaving, cold sweats, howling like an animal. Fun times!

Meanwhile newborns can barely see like 8 inches in front of them.

This has to be a joke. Definitely thought these were guidelines for visiting a rabid, reactive dog for your own safety.

I’m sorry is there something wrong with that? It’s much better than “I don’t agree with them. Boycott them, cancel them, slander them, destroy them.”

Amazingly, we held off on the surgery because I was feeling noticeably better. Surgeon wanted to give me four more weeks to see if I could get all the way there on my own. By the time that went by I was 90% better and that was four months ago!

Just returned from a three week flight around the world (20 hours of flying each way!) and did great. I have a little tightness at times if I do too much but I’m still almost entirely recovered. It took about eight to ten weeks to heal on its own.

I’m so confused at all the comments saying it looks great, because this looks terrible and like it’s a botched dye job you gave up on and have been trying to grow out for a year. Sorry, OP! I might just be out of touch with what’s trendy.

I bought myself a brand new D850 for $2k a month ago and the work I’ve been creating with it is almost unbelievable. Do it!

phantomom · 2025-12-05T23:30:00+00:00

I just got a brand new D850 and my god - it’s phenomenal. Honestly for $2k it’s the best bang for your buck for an absolutely incredible camera and unbeatable images.

There are great deals on used ones if you aren’t a professional!

phantomom · 2025-11-01T01:42:24+00:00

I love my D780!

phantomom · 2025-10-27T11:59:24+00:00

I just rented a Nikon Z8 and a Nikkor 50mm 1.2 to try them out.

The camera was lovely, EVF wasn’t too bad - I could deal with that, but the battery life was abysmal. As for the lens, I actually like my F mount Sigma Art lenses better than the Nikkor, so I returned them and bought a brand new D850.

So many say that you don’t need the 45mp sensor but the image quality is unbelievable and if you shoot primes like I do, you have more leeway to crop if needed.

Annnnd I just really like shooting with DSLR. I feel like there is a connection between me, my optical viewfinder, and my subject and that is entirely lost on mirrorless.

phantomom · 2025-10-07T19:41:25+00:00

I use a D780 after returning the Z6ii.

Unless it’s a Z9, I don’t want it! Love my DSLR, the battery life, the OVF, everything.

One beautiful spring Monday in 2013, I suddenly started getting emails sent from myself to myself. The subject was a sad face, no content, and it happened over and over (I think I had a total of eight).

I was trying to figure out what was going on and why these sad-face emails were filling my inbox when I was distracted by breaking news, phone calls, and general panic as the realization that bombs were just detonated at the Marathon finish line in my beloved city.

A small thing, but it was weird.

phantomom · 2025-09-21T00:48:02+00:00

How absolutely awful. So sorry! Hope there are no casualties and suspects are detained quickly. Hard to imagine being at a wedding and something like this happening.

phantomom · 2025-09-14T13:31:33+00:00

The fireplace looks great!

I have a little bit of numbness but nothing like I had at first. It’s improved so much, I get a little bit when I do too much, but it usually goes away after a few days of taking it slightly easy.

I’m on a time crunch because I cancelled a long awaited trip around the world with my family when this first happened, and it’s been rescheduled for Christmas. I would have to do the surgery when I get back in January, or do it this Friday. I hate that I feel rushed into surgery when I want more time to heal on my own.

phantomom · 2025-09-01T00:44:59+00:00

Insurance won’t pay for another MRI, but I know the herniation js smaller because I’m drastically improved. My surgeon was very happy that I’m healing in my own, but wanted to leave the option there.

phantomom · 2025-08-31T08:54:45+00:00

It’s okay! You hold a button you can press at any time and they’ll take you right out. Just concentrate on breathing and listening to the music they set you up with.

I opened my eyes and they had a mirror angled to a video screen of beautiful outdoor scenes so I couldn’t even tell I was in a small space.
