  • Lovely…

    Here in 2024

    Transcending time,
    this poem embraces,
    It touches the heart,
    and with it,
    the tears cascade.

  • I’m reading this book now—I’d started it years ago but didn’t get too far—and I came hunting down to remember what you’d said about it.

    Good quote.

  • Funny enough, it’s almost 10 years to do the day I bought my last Ricoh. So it really has been going strong-ish for a decade.

    I started an album on Flickr for this camera.

  • My GR1s came with a broken LCD screen. It’s mostly an ornament now, film and developing is so expensive, but still!

    Off the bat this takes much better photos than my GRD IV indoor in low light. Much more natural looking photos. I would more or less exclusively shoot in B&W with my older cameras, it just couldn’t put out a nice looking colour shot most of the time.

  • As someone who’s owned gr1 film cameras, I really wanted to love the digital ones too but they didn’t stick for me. Can’t wait to hear what you think.

    RE reliability in the previous comment, I’ve broken both of my film GR1s so sadly I think this might be a pattern (not that I babied them tho)

  • It’s kind of unfortunate their cameras are a bit hit of miss with build quality. My first Ricoh GR II broke. I got it repaired. And then it broke again! But then my IV has been chugging along for a decade, give or take. I am a big fan of the cameras and the sorts of pictures they take. I’m kind of glad I didn’t do much research: I didn’t know there were sensor issues at all!

  • Nice. I love my GRIII, especially at night, though I haven’t used it in quite some time now. I have the dreaded filthy sensor, and the spinny wheel thing on the back is completely screwed now. I keep meaning to send it off for repair, or at least figure out how much that would cost.

    Probably should have taken better care of it, but then again, I really wanted it as my “always in the pocket” camera.

  • That is a great point about Marvel and Star Wars haha. I guess I never stopped to think about all the other companies one could buy for 44 billion dollars.

  • Amazing! I am glad you are still reading. I miss the days of bloggers and blogging. Twitter is dreadful: I am waiting for the second coming of blogs.

  • I’m just stopping by to say that I’m so happy that you’re still blogging. I’m sure your daughter is a big girl right about now.
    I hope that you’re well and that your family is safe.

  • I like Rogue One the best as well. It’s a movie that really understands what it’s trying to do, and does it. The Mandalorian is also excellent. This trilogy will likely always feel like a bit of a let down.

  • I really didn’t like this movie. The slow motion chase sequence was silly but also all the characters are kind of dumb. In the first movie I liked Po’s character a lot but in this movie he was just an idiot. And so much of the movie is because the admiral and Leia don’t bother explaining why they are doing what they are doing. Rey’s portion with Luke was interesting but more than half the movie felt immensely unnecessary. Of all the star wars things Disney has done I think my favorite is still Rogue One. I still haven’t seen the latest movie though.

  • It is so hard to sympathize with these people. I love the survey inthe middle of the article where 80% (17k people) said “No, the government should not help these people”. I can’t imagine anyone getting much sympathy from the common person if they are buying 1-2 million dollar homes.
