Wow!!! we are turning into a camera forum

Imants, traffic here at LS has slowed greatly in the last months so it might appear that cameras have taken over some but they have not. Anyway, talk of this new camera from Nikon is entirely valid for a place like this. Of course it is.

Thanks Stupid! Exploring his site now…

Comments are welcome, up to and including I should do something else with my time.

By the way, Akaky-the Zenit Photosniper-is it any good?

JR, I dont know if the Photosniper is good or not, but I think what I said about the Fulgugator (?) is equally true here: this is not a device you would choose to use in a large crowd thick with security people, as you are merely giving them the opportunity to show their employers how well-trained they are. This does nothing for you, of course, or for your liver, after the coroner is done pulling lead out of it.

I am sure it can get better, but take the time to look around, and you will see people talking about making changes, about the media, code of conduct, surviving in the business, helping out up and coming photographers, fixers, interpreters (would definitely want to see more of that), and so on and so forth. If you don’t want “another goddam camera forum” (and I agree), tell us what you’d like to see more of.

Offering to sell a couple of sheep isn’t going to help bring Lightstalkers to a better course.

(only joking, great shot!)

As for this becoming a “camera forum” well we are photographers not farmers…although there might be a farmer here wondering why we are not chatting up the latest John Deer offering.

phhht, yankees suck.

On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Yankees fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Yankees fans.

Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”

“Because I’m not a Yankees fan,” she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Yankees fan, then who are you a fan of?”

“I am a Red Sox fan, and proud of it,” Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, why pray tell are you a Red Sox fan?”

“Because my mom is a Red Sox fan, and my dad is Red Sox fan, so I’m a Red Sox fan too!”

“Well,” said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, “that is no reason for you to be a Red Sox fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were an idiot and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?”

“Then,” Janie smiled, “I’d be a Yankees fan.”

If one really must read to understand, Milan Kundera and his Unbearable Lightness of Being is a better start than anything by Žižek. Skip the Unbearable movie.

Mark, the general consensus of opinion seems to be that the Leica M8 is a wonderful camera, except when it isnt. Its ability to
spread peanut butter, both creamy and chunky, is unrivaled by any other digital rangefinder on the market today.

Stoop, the Zone is still Greek to me. On the other hand, I liked the unbearable lightness of being. Never saw the flick, though.

Let’s make this a drink forum…

and godalmight, i LOVE LOVE http://unphotographable.com !!!..THNAK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :))))…ONE AND ALL…

and the frickin’ Zone System, i think WAS THE REASON i switched from photography to painting when i was in my university days and took a intro-to-photo class…now, 20 years later, i cant believe it’s reared its ugly, treacle-tinted head ;)))….

ok, this thread, and i guess what brother Imants is lamenting, is that no one, no one for like a year has posted Joyce…so, without much further ado, James Joyce on the new system that is all the rage:

“It may not or maybe a no concern of the Guinnesses but.
That the fright of his light in tribalbalbutience hides aback in
the doom of the balk of the deaf but that the height of his life
from a bride’s eye stammpunct is when a man that means a moun-

ning she likes yet that pride that bogs the party begs the glory of
a wake while the scheme is like your rumba round me garden,
allatheses, with perhelps the prop of a prompt to them, was now

—FW, Joyce…

PS. STEFAN: she looks so happy and so wonderful to see her growing up and car surfing, which took me like to the age of 30 to perfect….:)))
