Oh that's cool. I did similar on a recent hiking trip, one where I'd normally bring my tripod, ND filters, lenses etc.. So heavy. And yeah, it was nice. Also, to not be constantly thinking "how to set up this shot", just, enjoy it and snap some photos.

I'd try to meet the Buddha, and see if he could shed some of that instant enlightenment on me. In the stories, he seemed to be able to say just the right thing to people to wake them up out of the matrix.
My first answer was "buy Apple stock" but no effect on the time line probably means I don't make any money. (well wait, what about enlightenment then, does that come with me?)
Katatonia.. Devin Townsend.. Hangman's Chair.. Pallbearer
I guess these aren't really death metal. But they all crush, IMHO.
(I ain't got much else.. I've grown to love the growl!)
Whoa, dang, I didn't know you could shoot raw on phones. What's this world coming to! Time for me to sell my d800 before it's too late! Kidding.. Sorta.. But, nice job, never would've guessed that was from a phone. :-)
Beautiful shot. Did you focus stack, or just use a small enough aperture? I like the colors and composition.
nice!
Way to get the "X" and the cat's eyes in focus. Tough with that shallow DOF!
I'm in my 40s.. similar to you, used to eat fast food often, and enjoyed it. I was having a horrible day a couple weeks ago, and thought "fuck it.. I'm eating at McDs." It was disgusting, not like I remembered it all.
Agreed, great answer. As a fellow parent, I know that connection with your kid is far more important than whatever "dignity" you'll "lose" from going on the trip.
He's probably old enough (only you know, OP) for you to even talk about your discomfort with going, and to be open about your personal pros+cons of going. Who knows what he'll say, but it sounds like a good conversation to have.
Ha, yeah, that's a good point! It was pretty thiccc/dense.
Howdy! Here is my current signal chain, starting from either a Strat (2001 American deluxe) or an Ibanez Artcore AS-73.. ...micro Q-Tron > Phase 90 > sf300 (painted by my kid) > OD-200 > Signa Comp > e-lady > polytune > dd-500 > rv-500 > rc-1 > jc-40
I'm still playing with the e-lady position. And I'm still trying to find the best use for the volume pedal. Currently it's hooked up as an expression pedal for the dd-500, but.. I find myself never using it. I originally thought I'd use it for volume swells but I never used that either... Maybe not worth the real estate? Also, still playing with using sf-300 mostly as a boost, or mostly as fuzz... Never ending!
Edit: still trying to get the pic to post from this mobile app...

The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles. My first time reading an ancient classic, and it's much less scary than I thought. In fact I'm quite enjoying it, and might read The Iliad (Homer's other epic poem) next. The humanness of the characters (well, the human ones!) is very relatable, even though it's 2700 years old. I don't know why I expected it to be crusty and boring. Maybe I assumed it'd be like the Bible.
The intro explains a lot of stuff about the original Greek poem and how it was written in dactylic hexameterwhich bards back then used to be able to improvise in, which is amazing to me. Reminds me of 8 Mile or something. ๐
