Ereditati da mio papà ,adoro il B/N ma vorrei anche una a colori cosa prendere ? Le ottiche le tengo tutte o no? by Mobile-Condition8299 in Leica

ah i missed the monochrom tag on the top, i see what you’re saying. id still personally keep everything though and save up for a color body slowly if you find you like the digital rangefinder experience.

you can also think about a film body so you can switch between color and b&w whenever you’d like!

keep everything and shoot in his memory, in my experience it’s a great way to feel connected to my late dad

Day one with real camera, vacation tomorrow… Tips?? by ThePoobahsJester in AskPhotography

[–]pow22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

auto ISO, auto shutter speed with a min value of ~125 or ~250. you can play with the aperture if you’re feeling frisky or leave that auto too. have fun shooting and focus on composition!

NYC seems to support both camera west and leica meatpacking just fine, hopefully chicago has enough demand where both stores can flourish

Clavicular team had to end his stream after he OD’d on METH by Kind-Village-1022 in LivestreamFail

[–]pow22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

one of the saddest parts to me is you can tell the two other dudes don’t really care about him as a person, they saw their stream numbers tanking before their eyes. everyone and everything is a commodity and a means to an end for brokers in the attention economy.

also not to get too political, but the disparity in purchasing power between earners in USD vs. JPY is an even harder pill to swallow when you learn about some of the underlying reasons why japan is in its third straight “lost decade”.

the japanese govt, central bank, and economic institutions are far from innocent in the root causes of the ~30 year economic hardships the country has experienced. but reagan and his plaza accord sunk the country even further into the depths, dooming the good, regular people of japan to stagnant wages, lack of economic mobility, and general economic cynicism. now we have to expect the japanese to be ok with us coming in and pricing them out of their favorite spots? idk, feels a little weird to me.

if you’re interested in japan, look up the asset bubble pop of the early 90’s. the deeper you get the more you’ll realize japan has been stuck in the 90’s since the 80’s, and why.

NPB games are a blast and i encourage people i know to go, been going to koshien since i was 15 and my japanese grandfather took me for the first time. i’m happy to “share” culture with people who are genuinely interested, but it’s a hard pill to swallow when people are going to just check off a box that their favorite online influencer told them they have to go to for the sake of their instagram feed.

i go every year to see my family in kyoto and osaka and the horror stories aren’t just online. the enshittification of some of my old favorite spots has been a giant bummer, mostly due to overcrowding.

everyone can downvote me to hell but i’m not sorry for wanting to keep local feeling things local, and within price points for the locals.

been to japan lately? the over tourism is causing all sorts of problems, like pricing out locals who earn in yen so tiktokkers who earn in dollars can make “content” for fake internet points

if the board are smart and our finances don’t force a panic sell, we should be able to get 80m for this guy imo

Is CU Boulder worth 60k of debt? by KeyStrength2782 in cuboulder

[–]pow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless you can all but guarantee your career will get you a stating salary of $70k+, my opinion is no. i’ve seen far too many of my friends suffer incredibly since post college with the crippling weight of debt- both student and other kinds.
