I really enjoyed this film when it came out. I should now rewatch it!

Yeah I’m not sure how I avoided it for so long. Just general business I suppose. I figured it would be good, but didn’t appreciate just how good.

I’m surprised you didn’t see it the year it came out. Especially considering all the hype it was getting at the time.
I really enjoyed it. I originally went to see it because I thought Mahershala Ali was the main character but I was very wrong haha.

James Laxton, the cinematographer for Moonlight, talks about how it was shot, deconstructing the scene where Chiron reconnects with Kevin at the diner.

I vaguely recall someone (maybe you) telling me a story of someone going to give birth and the nurse had delivered babies for many more years, somewhere in SE Asia under far more difficult conditions, than the primary physician

It’s beautiful and timeless.
Thanks for keeping this post alive.

For reals. I am very sick of AI / LLM hype at this point. Feels like some real mass hysteria / manufactured consent.

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)
Posted by pirijan (Ricoh GR III)
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!
Posted by Ramanan (Ricoh GR III)
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.
