Lust

It's been a while since I've had serious gear lust, but this new camera triggered it bigtime.





What makes it special? Interchangeable lenses using the micro 4/3s standard.

Too bad it's $800+. But it's a good start....

smeary, blurry, something other

I've had a major photography lull the last couple of months.

I've been forcing myself back into it and what I am drawn to are blurry, smeary images that suggest rather than focus.

Ryan Reynolds, too skinny

I know it might be partially because of the PS shadows&highlights filter abuse (I wish it didn't make me so mental, but it does), but Ryan Reynolds needs to put on a little weight.





The shoulders and jutting clavicles are disturbing, and the way his deflated flesh folds above his armpit - I'm _much_ older and my skin doesn't do that - are all signs that he's got too little body fat. There's also the gauntness around the eyes that looks like sadness and illness. Not hot.

It's a few years back, but he can look lean and not desiccated.
