after much research and thinking about it, came to realize I don't need another hobby - which is what medium format film would be to me - but I do need/want a new camera - last I bought was my Sony Nex 6 -- 13 years ago. SO after more thinking and researching I landed on a Sony rx100 IV --...

Oly, that's great!. In the article I linked Leifer talks how he covered the first Ali v. Sonny Liston, and since Ali beat Liston resoundedly there wasn't a lot of interest in the rematch. Ali was a 7-1 favorite. The ring was set up in a youth's hockey rink and 4,000 people attended. No one...

Thanks Kay, Sno. I'm confident the ink will hold, but I'm wondering about fading? Are alcohol inks lightfast?

vibrant, jumps off the at you

16th Ave E - oil and ink on (very) cheap 12"x12" stretched canvas This was an experiment painting on a $1 canvas without adding more gesso. Don't do it, the canvas is okay but needs more gesso than it comes with. I also experimented with using alcohol inks as a glaze. Only had yellow and...

I love the message of that song and the line "End of the world as we know it, and I feel fine". Point of interest "Trump" is mentioned in the rant -- and that song is like 16 years old.

much appreciated🤗
