Every time I get close to selling mine you post a photo of it and I remember why I got the damn thing in the first place.

Kinda love this. The way the ladder frame pops and how close the sky and wall are totally, very fun

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

Is wild what a difference this makes. I find it a pretty dull film at box speed but it’s loads better a little underexposed. Nice discovery!

I have quite a few long jackets. If you trade in an MG on that Chrysler I will never let you live it down.

We tried it and the Ui was annoying as hell. We’re both on Deezer now and it’s pretty good

I’d love to get in touch with him directly if you can connect us. Otherwise I’m sure I’ll see him at something

A tattooed man uses a fire spinning device at an open practice session in Seattle. The background is dark with a few other practicing performers visible in the shadows. The man is illuminated by the light of the flames he is manipulating.

A black-and-white photograph of the grill of a parked 1970s Cadillac El Dorado with a pair of bull horns attached to the front. The license plate reads β€œbrisket”. The photographer did not see the vehicles owner but is reasonably sure they must own a barbecue restaurant, if they don’t, they should.

Haha yeah they are a little tricky to learn. I do love the simplicity though, no moving parts, stainless, last roughly forever.
