Enough of this mindless arguing over gear, exposure tactics, and software. Let's take a moment to think about what photography is really about: photographs.

Post pictures that inspire you. Things from famous photographers, things from other anons, anything you like.

Please make sure to credit the photographer whenever possible.

Expect to see truck stop shenanigans, Northeast, Bonneville, trolls gonna troll, plenty of shitposting and some 35mm if I can get home to scan it before the thread hits autosage

It was proven that Chosis, local tripfag, is behindlamboticket.comthrough his asking for help designing a logo - with his trip on - on /gd/.https://yuki.la/gd/338619this proves he's been lying all along about not being associated with the site and proves he's trying to run a mail fraud scam on /p/.

After checkinglamboticket.com, we found out the address listed directs to a tabletop gaming shop called Twenty Sided Store.

We then investigated Twenty Sided Store on Facebook/YouTube and identified Chosis as one of the employees.

Chosis was then reported to his employers who have alerted the authorities. He's since flown off the handle claiming there's a plot to kill him to distract from what's actually happening.

>>3295253<times he's claimed he has screenshots of an assassination plot and never posted them

Last update is that Chosis changed the mailing address onwww.lamboticket.comaway from his workplace and NYC entirely as of today, possibly due to fear of being caught.

He's also been threatening to sic /b/ on anybody who exposes him and write Encyclopedia Dramatica entries about them.

Latest news: we found proof that Chosis runs scams constantly on /biz/, including asking for donations for the Mexican earthquake and keeping all the money. >>3297429 he has now taken this scam artistry to /p/

There is also disinfo that the www.chosis.com is not the same as 4chan chosis. This is false, he responds with the same lies through the email on his site and on his instagram linked on his site.

Our demands: take down proven chosis scam site lamboticket.com and delete instagram.com/slashpcollective.

What 35mm film cameras are good and how do I know which ones to get? I know I shouldn't be spending a ton on them but I'm still confused. I keep seeing people talking about the Olympus XA though

Basically should I just walk into a thrift store and buy the first film camera I can find or should I be looking up specific models on ebay?

Cheap apsc E-mount lens I can shoot milky way with? budget $200

the thread reach it's limit, and the problem is still unsolved.

Bring the conversation here, and let's make an end to this drama already for god's sake

Memory is such a concerning thing. How we remember and what we chose to remember are so far away from the emotion attached, that perhaps the memory is just an afterthought. I cried for a friend lost months ago tonight. I had a hard time remembering why I would feel sad, but yet I still cried. The idea that my memory had escaped me left me afraid and feeling alone. I walked out to her grave, a solidary rock that sits cornered by a fence and a dirt patch, but still sits. I hadn’t gone out in months, but a feeling drew me back. Perhaps it was guilt, guilt out of not fulfilling my obligation as a lover (paternal) and family. Maybe it was a sense of fear of having forgotten, and in return being forgotten. Maybe, but it didn’t matter. I felt, and without a place or thing to put it to.

Emotion is stapled to time and time is fleeting. Emotion will come and it will pass, like the soft lapping of waves on a beach, the sands will move and change as will your emotion in time. Time is the ultimate prevayer of all emotion, all feeling and all thought. I wish I could remember her face with the feeling. To have a concrete sense to accompany this cascading sense of- well of everything.

So I made an attempt, to create a foundation for a feeling and memory I could hold onto, to make up for losing the one from before. I sat with my other friend, who is still alive and well, but I can see the age seep through. The hairs around her brow grow grey and her breath heavy. A snort here to show she still can suck in air to those lungs, even if it hurts. And that breath is the idea behind life, as it hurts to do but is always needed.

Would you rather take a selfie or ask a stranger to take a picture of you?

Do most/any of you study old masters? In particular the American pictorialists, straight, and modern photographers? Do you find that contemporary work is obsessive with story over utylsing and honing technical skill, and paying attention to formal elements that make photography an art form? Line, texture, shape, form, scale... I've found that shooting with "toy" cameras, such as the Holga or even disposables after the past 2 years of shooting digital and 35mm film can in the right hands, be beautiful in it's own right given knowledge of proper ambient light and composition
