There are four lights!
This is what I mean. It even starts as a totally fine static shot that would give the actor space to do their job and act. But no, we need to make the shot more "interesting" by adding a distracting camera movement that has no motivation at all.

I recommend talking to metalheads and EBM fans about this. We might have a few decades of experience to share.

But it's far removed from my later very close and direct work with people in street portraiture.

There's still some really good stuff there, this in particular remains one of my all time favorites and I keep a large print of it on my wall at home.

And sometimes they come in the prettiest colors even instead of just black

They’re just nice objects to interact with

Mine is a lot less involved (just KDE Plasma on the desktop PC) but I'm very happy with it

Vinyl records are just cool shit.

You get a huge art piece along with your music, it’s awesome.

Just look at these

I like using background jobs in my terminal so I wrote this little utility function to make task switching easier and faster

I sure hope that was supposed to say "ethical" my dear colleagues Chen and Ho

Like, this isn't terrible but it does need a lot more work. It feels both too long and like it's leaving out too much.

But that'll come when I have written more about the subject I think. it's good enough for just having something there.

Ok, building vertically is a lot more involved but it is very satisfying once it's done

The Canon P rangefinder.

It’s not uncommon but I think it’s underrated since it honestly does most of what many people who buy a Leica actually need and costs 1/10th of that.

And the M39 mount lenses are also much more available and affordable.

Literally every question (except the kids one because that's difficult for reasons) had a very obvious and strongly pro-polyamory answer to the point where it's difficult to imagine otherwise for myself.
