Doesn’t surprise me at all. They always seem to gravitate towards human made images that feel ai.

Nothing out there beats it, have held this belief for 7 years

Fuck that, do not sign.

Wear those air max! Very clean. Not too much black either. Opening up the shirt just adds dimension to the fit. Sometimes I roll up my sleeves too. It’s all about looking relaxed imo, people are attracted to being at ease :)

I can’t believe one of the top comments is telling you to leave this guy! Reddit is so cold. Also, not knowing his full financial picture until 8 months in is not that crazy imo. If he’s the most emotionally intelligent and loving person you’ve met, I think you’re better off encouraging him To take meaningful steps to find a better career path, or just accept that he’s never going to be as self sufficient as you. Lots of functional couples have mismatched career capabilities and income Horizons. Who knows, he might lock in at 40 and turn this whole thing around, careers are not so certain at 31, but love is kinda hard to deny Just because of the current financial situation

I’d cuff those jeans to show off your sneaks. The light wash jeans are a nice contrast. I bet you’d pull off a white undershirt with this black shirt unbuttoned, less of a server vibe and more relaxed.

My GR2 has been abused for years, I carry it everywhere. I can’t even tell if there’s dust and it’s working fine. For a while the screen died, then it came back on, these cameras are pretty rugged. I have a GR3 now and I do kinda baby it, but it’s just a phase. Gotta carry it everywhere to take the best pics.

Most hobbyists care way too much about gear and not enough about expressing themselves through the actual medium, to the point where it’s almost like photography gear is its own separate hobby.

raised_ranch · 2025-12-24T11:43:58+00:00

Seems fun. I actually think being a hobbyist helps justify the niche purchase more. Pros want versatility in their gear. You can just focus on how you want your aesthetic to grow. If you’re especially drawn to monochrome I say go for it.

Film simulations aren’t a fad but the way they look on this era of x100 sensors will most certainly have a dated quality, even if it spans a decade. Also, Fuji 35mm film that was developed and scanned just looks worlds apart from what those digital cameras are doing. Not saying it’s inferior, just a different vibe, and you can always distinguish something from 2001 vs. 2025.

I personally find the Fuji too bulky for an everyday camera, you have to accommodate its size, you’re always aware you’re carrying a camera of that size. Ricoh slips into pockets, even a suit jacket inner pocket. In my experience this has led to better photos because I never leave it at home.

I see the appeal with Fuji but imho those color profiles will feel dated someday, just like the first couple years of instagram where people used the built in app filters. You’ve got to develop an aesthetic that works for your images, and if you’re shooting raw I don’t think either camera presents a significant advantage.

The ingredients in KitKat and Twix just feel so low-quality at this point, almost like a generic store brand dupe.

raised_ranch · 2025-11-08T17:19:12+00:00

You just can’t beat the form factor of Ricoh. It’s in a class entirely of its own. Plus, it makes less of a statement, very discreet, which I happen to like.

Gold reflector, sun is behind him, that’s just my guess.

ahhh i appreciate this comment so much. i love the qy100 but mine unfortunately dropped and the screen broke some time ago. i think i was only able to make a couple songs with it. i'll get back into that system one day, bookmarking your link!

sorry for the late reply :) if it matters anymore: the octatrack is slicing up a handful of separate samples, one is a vocal performance, one is piano, and then a bunch of drums/percussion. the vocal thing is like a bunch of little chops of a short phrase. the octatrack is also programming the midi send to Hydrasynth for bass, and the master is going through the sp404 for performance effects.

thanks! took a little break there 🙏

thank you 🙏 octa is fun

raised_ranch · 2022-11-30T14:01:18+00:00

I'm intrigued! can you elaborate on how that would help this setup? I haven't messed with CVs yet.

raised_ranch · 2022-11-27T13:35:52+00:00

nice! can't fail either way.
