Shit's a struggle, more so for some, but you give your life it's own purpose, not your Mother. You matter, friend. You have value. You are worthy of love. You are brave, that was probably hard to post, I hope you thrive and I wish you joy.
My 7yo daughter is deep into Kpop and totally got me hooked when she was 5. Her first concert was Blackpink at 6, and we saw Baby Monster a few weeks back. Additionally, not Kpop, but we took her to Atarashii Gakko last fall. My daughter has better taste than I do.
I read it on your good recommendation. Was not disappointed. That woman is fire! She even ends it with recommendations for congress on broader issues related to the justice system they could be working on. 10/10, no notes.
It's my first digital body and I'm not too precious about the sensor/look details between the different bodies after the M9. As long as it mounts my glass and I can play in Lightroom I'm happy.
I got lost in all the breakdowns between the M8-11 minutiae. Eventually, I just set a budget and kept my eyes open for a body.
I picked it up used at the Leica retail store in Soho NYC in better condition and pricing than I'd seen at Adorama and B&H for the same model.
I don't have much to compare it too beyond an M6 and I find it feels good and is solid as you'd expect from a Leica. It's one sweet unit.
In my role I get copious email, direct, cc'd for visibility or automated stuff.
In Gmail, I build a rule to label and archive automated things like alerts or bills and keeps them out of my inbox and I can choose to engage at my leisure.
For everything else I star and archive. I have a few points throughout the day I triage or act on. Immediate response things get responded too, things I need to address but it's not urgent I star and archive. Then I look through my starred emails occasionally to see if anything has risen in priority for me to address, and I do so. Everything else lays untouched in starred.
What I find is this keeps me close to inbox zero, helps me keep important stuff visible and often stuff I've starred, given time takes care of itself before I engage and I eventually unstar it to never be seen again as it just wasn't important or didn't need my engagement.
It works well for me. Sometimes I get behind, and that's ok. I'm only one person, and I have time boxed time to prevent email dominating my life
It's well built, I'll say that. No play in it's construction, everything is smooth, aperture stops click satisfyingly.
Like I said, the focus takes a bit to get used to, but it's not too bad. The little focus ears are cute, remind me of the ones you'd find on the old Arri-mount Cooke Kinetels for 16mm. I'll probably remove them at some point.
I haven't done much with it yet, but It's sharp, with a soft bokeh, warmer tones than Zeiss or Leica glass. It looks like a Cooke :)
In terms of shooting with a digital body, it certainly is nice not sitting on a roll for a while before developing it. I'm still getting used to the Lightroom Classic workflow and it's capabilities. The freedom is a bit intimidating.
I'm used to trying to get what I want in the camera. Knowing the film stock, the processes, the lens... I like the exercise of solving the puzzle. I was never one for shooting clean and relying on post. The DNG format is pretty flexible, reminds me of working on a digital intermediate in cine.
I like quirky lenses and shallow DoF. I shoot a lot with a single coated Voigtlander 40mm Nokton and get a nice painterly feel, so I think the LLL SP2 will fit in nicely.
I'll post a sample as a new post here to get the post count going for the community.

Nick and Nora Charles are mine and my wife's relationship goals.
Congrats! That's wonderful, cheers to you and your family, internet person!

They must be attempting to integrate the rotation of the earth, the earth's orbit, and the sun's orbit around the galaxy.
I thought the Teamsters were the trucker union and were relatively powerful....

TBH, I wanted the MD as well, but couldn't find one. The folks in the Soho store were lovely.

Longwood Gardens has the best bathrooms there. Around the curve, each door opens to a private suite.
Edit: NPR named it America's Best Restroom of 2014!

I'm just here for that punchline. Exquisite!
It's the Gameboy of Theseus!
Need to get those MMs of the latest WaReZ. I got a T1 FTP connect with DrinkOrDie, and chill with BoxingNun of UPS.
Goodness, I just had a memory of web rings in the 90s on tripod, anglefire, and geocities, lol.
If I set up a Lemmy instance it'll have to be named lemmycities.

Meh, we have an opportunity to set a new tone and culture. Just power through the noise. I thoroughly enjoyed your post. Cheers!
