The Sgt. Schultz approach is always a guaranteed winner.

Great idea, cute guide. The word "to" is missing from "Sometimes you need TO .." 👍

I think Neil Young wrote "Cinnamon Girl" delirious and in bed with the flu. Sometimes illness goes from being a stumbling block to a booster seat.

Jimmy yes, Disney no. Other than his show, the boycott continues.

Ma & Pa Kettle. Good times.

In this era, that group of Congressmen would find themselves accidentally falling out of windows.

It's beyond my comprehension. Most of my friends only seem to be aware of Kirk 's religious material, which can come across as pure and holy if you somehow completely ignore the side of his personality that called Black women morons and called for the execution of President Biden.

I'm hearing this with the sad violin music from the old Civil War doc playing behind it.

Melissa HORTMAN, please.

My father had one of those when he was in the Navy in the 1950s, and he still talks about it, endlessly.

Superman (2025)
"Five Years Time," by Noah and the Whale.

The film was okay-ish, but the music is what sticks with you.

Post of the day. Perhaps the week. A keeper.

The first movie I was taken to, a forgotten Disney flick from 1972, versus what I went to in 1976 when I had a choice -- AT THE EARTH'S CORE!

The original Frasier on DVD from used book / DVD stores is a good score too.

I also prefer fully mechanical cameras -- I'm a control freak in that way, and also, when something goes wrong, I know who's to blame.

In my photography, I am attracted to textures, patterns, and overlapping shapes.

If you grant the notion that vegetables are children of God, in the Christian worldview you've created another class of beings that you can't eat. It's also probably one of those things that get Christian carnivores so riled up, come to think of it.

Well, as I often read on social media back in the day, nothing matters from before he was saved in 2017. Since then, he's been saved, in different ways, by Congress and SCOTUS on the regular. So no, I'm not expecting a whole lot of action.

Great shot. I really enjoy the photos you can get out of Yashica 's Electro series of cameras. I only wish I was skillful enough to repair the ones that have bricked on me. I got several rolls out of my first one, & only two photos out of my second one. The third one ...we'll see.

I like my vinyl, but that's about it. I don't have the discipline to journal. If I tried to knit, I'd just be making myself ugly Christmas sweaters. Puzzles?? I'd be asleep in quick five minutes. So one outta ten for baby boy here.

A story about trendy old people hobbies that does NOT include film photography. Shocking! 🤣

Fantastic.

This reminds me of the famous Al Gore pic made with a Holga, only Sam comes with great foreboding. I'm not sure whether he's friend, foe, or victim here. ❤️

Thank you.

No other helmsman was holding hands with Sally Kellerman.

Scary twins from the movie The Shining.

My goal is to become skilled at this craft. I made my living as a sedentary creative. Film photography allows me to *move* & create while using beautiful tools. Developing reminds me of etching & trad printmaking. Film scratches all of those itches.

Thus, the very old concept of a place for the penitent -- those seeking to turn their lives around. A penitentiary, it was called.

Clawed, licked, and arfed. 🤣
