How much longer before one of those voices push him out of a window?
Ukrainian Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov: “There are currently many voices within Putin’s inner circle saying, ‘the war needs to end.’
“And there are more of them now than before.”

the worst part about this war that will always haunt me and maybe you
is the fact that there are ways and measures available to stop it
to stop the murder, the terror, the pain
but the world simply chooses not to
they choose to let Ukrainians suffer
I'll never make peace with that fact

C'mon guys. How ridiculous does this have to get? Send these poor animals back home and harness some of that Russian industrial might we keep hearing about

He has to BE stopped.

What a tonal shift that's been. Ugh
Used to get breakfast at Veselka’s after the kids got to school, ten years back. An old boomer, Jerry, would talk politics everyday.
Recall him saying “Did you hear Obama’s wonderful speech on race? What a defining moment for America.”
Then Trump came down the elevator.
I think about that a lot.

Just found a blog post on my now defuct old blog (so some images are missing). I ended up naming him Helmut (suggested by a friend) as an appropriate name for a somewhat shabby old German camera. Has been a while since I shot with him.

My grandad’s old damaged Rollei is too expensive to refurbish, so my dad has also gifted me his Mamiya as well. He thinks he purchased it replace the Rollei just before retiring so it’s near-mint. Excited to shoot my first roll of 120 soon.

The war in Ukraine is a rare and striking example of good versus evil.
Few people realize that, although Ukraine has roughly 2-3 times fewer military casualties than Russia, it suffers 20-30 times more civilian casualties.
Russia targets civilians, while Ukraine does not
