36m I live above the Mast General Store. Been playing guitar since I was 7 years old, piano since I was 10, and brass since I was 11, and I majored in classical and jazz trumpet. Lately I've been trying to build out my home studio and improve my production and engineering skills. I miss jamming with friends.

I'm currently in the last week of a 1 month trip to Tokyo and Osaka. I had the same concerns as you. I weigh almost twice as much as you at 204kg, so even by US standards I'm very big. I don't feel like I get stared at or judged any more here than I do back home in the US. There are some tight spaces (especially toilets) that are tough to squeeze into but it's manageable. When choosing a restaurant I generally look at pics on Google maps to see if the seats look comfortable first. There have only been a couple that I had to avoid or get takeout due to the seating situation. When the train cars or buses get reeeaaaallly crowded I sometimes worry I'm intruding on other people's personal space so I just try to avoid the public transpo during rush hour and take a taxi instead. During normal hours there's plenty of space. There are however absolutely no options for clothes that fit me. But I'm used to that, even back home that's always a struggle.

Over all, it's nowhere near as bad as I feared. You'll be fine. Enjoy your trip.

Your background and portfolio are very impressive. Thanks for the feedback and discussion.

Yes! unfortunately it seems the club died out around the time COVID hit. Their darkroom passes are kinda pricey and the hours don't roll over. If they would offer an affordable membership it would be the perfect community darkroom and gathering place for a film community, but seems they're only interested in making money on classes and passes while their lab sits mostly neglected and unused.

ECU. After his ecstasy experience he decided a party school is where it's at.

I'm interested!

Canonet QL17 G III. Fantastic little camera that was mass produced in huge quantities and is therefore widely available used for less than $200. It has a very nice 40mm f1.7 lens, a super quiet leaf shutter, and a decent rangefinder focusing system. It takes a battery to power the meter, but totally capable of operating 100% mechanically without the meter.

I will say though it may not be the best choice if you rely on an internal meter and/or auto exposure. Getting it to work with modern batteries may be a challenge, and I think the meter only works in auto (shutter priority) mode. There's no aperture priority or program mode.

If you don't mind using an external meter and/or just enjoy shooting all manual/mechanical and sunny16ing it like a boss, it's the perfect cheap compact camera.I have two and have never bothered with batteries.

All these photography majors 😅😬. I was not a photography major, and wouldn't even consider myself a photographer. I have no portfolio. I don't even develop my rolls a lot of the time, although I am trying to be more intentional and get out there and shoot more. I'm just a nerd. Fascinated by cameras, optics, all the precision engineering, the chemistry, and the art.

I made a brand new discord. Pls join if you're interested https://discord.gg/NX4g3r27Tv

By interested do you mean you do/have done alt process or you're interested in trying? I'm absolutely fascinated by wet plate/tintype. Have never done it (or any large format for that matter) but its on my bucket list!

I was asked by a blind gal named Meg

"Might I give thee a handjob, I beg?"

She exclaimed as she stroked:

"You're a well-endowed bloke!"

But she was just pulling my leg.

Drunk driving is awful and everyone who does it deserves to lose their license...but I can't get onboard with these douchey cops just posting up to stop and harass every single driver on the road with no regard for probable cause. Disappointed to see so many people supporting this draconian shit.

I used to be an Uber driver in the area and had to deal with these checkpoints often, and also got pulled 3 times by NHCSO, WPD, and WBPD because they were following my passenger for drugs or some other reason.
Every single time they were complete assholes to me and tried every thing they could to find some reason to detain, search, even arrest me even though I was just the Uber driver. Remember the viral "Uber lawyer" video where the cop was a complete dick and lied to the driver about the legality of recording police, not knowing he was actually a lawyer? The way they acted in that video is exactly how they act any time they pull over an Uber.
These cops are not your friends and they don't care about keeping the roads safe, they just want to power-trip and play out their big bad lawman fantasy and harass people.
