gvallee Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) I will assume that you're talking about the good/bad things threads, Jeff. I am a passionate emotional person. I live a life beyond idyllic following my passions and visions. A life of total freedom and excitement. Very often, I want to jump on my keyboard to share a good thing. I stop for a few seconds and realise I don't want to appear to be boasting or to make less lucky people sad. So I refrain. As a consequence, I might appear to post more often in the Bad things thread. My good shots? I post them in the 'Favourite Images' thread. My bad shots I delete.

I think you pepper your stories with enough tales of woe, such as your recent laptop water damage scare, that not all is idyllic. Keep posting the good, the bad and the ugly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) my OP is merely a suggestion & point of possible discussion; e.g., I could post something bad: all my 4th of July fireworks shot were crap because I misjudged where they would originate & ended up being too close with no decent foreground.... or I could post something good: although I got no new fireworks keepers, I have many from recent years plus I took a few new salable scenes including food trucks... 😜can you dig this? PS. is there British term for "food trucks"? food lorries? other? google says "food vans" Edited July 6, 2023 by Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS. is there British term for "food trucks"? food lorries? other? google says "food vans" Actually I'm not sure we have a widely used generic term, they tend to be specific to the food..burger van, chip van, ice cream van etc. Food truck is used here, but more by commercial operators/websites than the general public. A friend in California always calls them a roach coach:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Ore Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Another interesting website -- not focusing on commercial, but not on gear. Tin House is more relevant to commercial work, but this is one I keep an eye on: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePhotographicEye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
