Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Today, I loaded this camera with an APX100 and set the exposure to 1600. I plan to develop it with Ilford Microphone at 14 minutes. Fingers crossed.

Wo liegt dein Problem?
Ich habe gefragt wie ich die Handyknipser aus dem Feed photography gekomme, was ja nur mich betrifft und keinen anderen Benutzer. Dann wurde mir geholfen und alles ist gut. Und du nennst mich arrogant weil ich nichts vom Fotovorschlag sehen will? Ist das jetzt X hier?

Problem ist doch schon lange gelΓΆst. Habe mittels Wortfilter die Flut an Handyknipsbilder gedrosselt.

@fotovorschlag.de Wie bekomme ich eure Bilder aus dem Feed #Photography? Ich folge @fotoforschlag nicht und ist sogar stumm geschaltet. Jemand ne Idee? #FotoVorschlag verursacht extremes Rauschen, so das vieles untergeht. Das ist Γ€rgerlich.
