Pointless Announcements

Finally decided to buy a light meter to add to the camera gear. Will go with in the "near future" for now.

 

What a clustermug!

This, or something like it, has to be playing in the back of his head. You know the back part not resembling Swiss cheese from all the crack-

 

I feel over whelmed, tired, cranky and working way to many hours.

But I am going back to England come this Christmas season.

 

For pleasure, not work, one would hope.

 

It's kind of like that useless guy in the office who starts to work his ass off right before you all know he's about to be fired.

 

You need a cheap image stabilizer, as well?

Easy image stabilizer for any camera. [VIDEO]

 

Someone wrote today: I think we are only in the 2nd act of the saga of Rob Ford. The problem is, I don't know if this is a three act or a five act play...

There is more to come. The judge has just agreed to release to the media, on Friday, the wiretap information that had been withheld from last week's court documents showing the investigation into Ford's activities with his part-time driver and alleged drug dealer, Sandro Lisi.

It has been suggested that these wiretaps deal with the killing of Anthony Smith. Smith is one of the people pictured with Ford in front of what the police have called, a known drug house. Smith was shot and killed and another of the men in the photo was injured shortly after the photo was taken. It has been suggested his killing is related to the crack tape.

There's more, but it's just too tawdry.

 

That's some serious drama coming out of Toronto, @Charlatan

How did a guy like that even get elected?

What a massive trainwreck.

 

I like it. I would go with a standard tripod mount rather than a screw though. I suspect I will use my poor credit card to pay for the light meter; found a solid model in the $120-130 range on ebay and I would much prefer one of those over the 20-30 year old options in my manual SLRs or even my recent DSLR.
Looking to add a Canon AE-1 Program in the near future that would get decent use, at least as much as the cost of buying and developing the film will allow for me. Even better the FD mount lens are damn cheap these days as Canon started to drop them when they introduced the EOS line in 1987.

Long story of protest votes, district amalgamations, poor campaigns running against him and general pig-headedness.

I have watched him for years as a councillor and thought he was a train wreck then. As a howling voice of opposition, he served a purpose. As mayor... he has been a bigger disaster than I could ever imagine.

This article can give you a little taste of why he was elected: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/06/opinion/torontos-hot-mess.html?hp&rref=opinion&_r=1&

 

Goddamn, do I love Stephen Fry sometimes.

Interesting read. This sentence-

Made me laugh and a little sad. And the link about his sisters KKK connections a little scary.

 

Holy fucking shit.

Not the most eventful video out there, but you simply can't help but watch this dumbass do his thing.

 

Holy shit! "I was expecting it to zap me to death." I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I want to have this guy come figure out the wiring problems in my house while I watch and eat popcorn.
