Stop Rob Ford sticker.

Stop Rob Ford sticker.

Ghosts of municipal discontent...

Every so often I still see a Rob Ford sticker... He's a ghost of municipal shame that still haunts the city.

While his brother actively torments the province.

That said, the limited edition glass that was mated for the camera is insane, but then Pentax glass is amazing.

The MZ-S is an interesting camera, a halo rig for the Pentax line at the turn of the Millennium, you either going to fall in love it or be, meh. For me it was meh.

A stylized illustration shows four wide-eyed, cartoon-like musicians seated on curling, wave-shaped ground beneath a dramatic, cloudy sky. From left to right: one plays a stringed instrument resembling a mandolin, another stands playing bagpipes while wearing a kilt and top hat, the third plays an accordion, and the fourth beats a hand drum. The landscape around them twists into dark, spiraling shapes, giving a surreal, ominous feel despite the whimsical character designs. At the bottom of the image, decorative text reads: β€œThe Four Musicians of the Apocalypse.” BY UNKNOWN CARTOONIST

Then God said, β€œAnd behold, when the fourth seal was opened, there arose four upon the crest of the storm: pipes skirling doom, bellows wheezing famine, strings twanging conquest, drum thundering regret. Power given to afflict the earth with cursed reel forever.”

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Film Review Blog No. 111 - Kentmere 200 A modern 200-speed film that I actually get a long with? Meet Kentmere 200, the latest from Ilford Photo/Harman Technologies that was only released last year!

It's not often we get treated to a brand new film stock, and of all the films released last year, Kentmere 200 was the one that I got excited about, and for good reason. It's an amazing film stock.
