B&H just sent me a 100’ roll of T-Max 100 that expires in five weeks and I’m kind of miffed. This stuff is as pricey as film gets. #filmphotography

Dear God don’t let Olivia Nuzzi anywhere near Bernie Sanders.

Kind of weird that no MSM journalists seem to know, or are allowed to explain, what democratic socialism is and why it’s not goddamn communism.

Paddy Chayefsky would be proud of the mad as hell and not going to take it any more vibe tonight.

He left the mark of Zohran on some faces with that speech.

My God, but Zohran is breathing fire. Brilliant speech.

Zohran name checks Debs in the first sentence! Great.

If Zohran does not immediately build a Navy of New York and blockade Statin Island this will have been for naught.

The glamorous life of a pilot. This was one of the planes I used to drag banners in. It went on to kill a friend of mine. A fun, but shady company where we (pilots) were encouraged to do crazy shit, including upholding the tradition of throwing grappling hooks at ground crew. 1/2 #aviation

People compare that piece of shit trump to hitler, but he is more like stalin than hitler. stalin thought he had all the answers, killed science, built a colossal NKVD—his ICE—to wage war on his own citizens, used hunger as a WMD, and many more parallels. miller is his beria; bondi his vychinsky.

Marx said that excessive wealth polarization would lead the poor to revolt. Lenin found that this is not true; it only makes the poor focus more on short-term relief—providing a malevolent political tool. Steve Bannon described himself as a Leninist. GOP's SNAP move now is an example of Leninism.

Dems on TV? With trump getting ready to steal $230 million over his hurt fee-fees by the Russia investigation, it might be a good time to hammer the message home that he IS A FUCKING TRAITOR.

The images of the East Wing being demolished are potent symbols that Dem electeds would use if they had a clue.

Following up on my post about mixing HC-110+Rodinal, today I tilted the ratio more in favor of the Rodinal and, though it’s not completely there yet, I’m kind of shocked by the sharpness resulting from a boost of accutance. More in alt text. 1/2 M6/35SM, UFX 100 200ASA #filmphotography #darkroom

For #darkroom nerds: I threatened to try a test of mixing Rodinal with HC-110. I stuck a short roll in the camera and find the results encouraging. I was wondering if some Rodinal might increase accutance. I think it did. Detailed breakdown in the alt text. #photography #filmphotography

Surely a minority #filmphotography opinion, maybe limited to me, but Tri-X in 35mm, formerly a jewel in the Kodak crown that I shot many 100s of rolls for decades, has become since reformulation the most overrated film stock on Earth. So many films costing literally half, are way better. Sue me.
