I know we are a community of photographers, but sometimes we have to pretend to be videographers so we can have dinner.
I fed my Zf a sandisk and I had a sandwish (it’s when you wish for a sandwich)

Looking for any feedback. Most of the photos have been taken around Kyoto.
I didn't use to take photos of people, but for a while now I have started to do it a little more often, using only a 50mm lens.

Hello everyone,
I am here to ask for help about my uncle, 49, who’s been on cocaine for at least 5 years to my understanding
He’s always been an addict, but it was “only” to alcool, cigs and gambling…
The more I write, the worse it gets.
He lives in the same house as my grandparents, and I am only visiting once a year (living in France), and this time it’s out of control.
He spends hours in the bathroom, snorting, doing awful nose sounds, cleaning his nose at night doing the most disgusting noises, while gambling on his phone and drinking scotch.
A few years ago, I was able to make him stop for a while because I lived here for 6 months. I don’t think he’s been very sober since.
I am angry and pitiful, depending on the time.
But I have to make something happen, my grandma can’t sleep because of this behavior of his, he lost most of his teeth, he works at a smoke kiosk in a shit neighborhood, and talks about the “drug addicts” buying “oil pipes” from him, like he isn’t one of them…
Please help me, give me tips of how to get in touch with him and help him take the first step towards recovery.
Next week he want us to go to Vegas, but I told him I’d like to bring him somewhere else. So I can have 2 days with him. That’s my window.
Help.

Went to a flea market with a mamiya TLR around my neck. I approached a man with various antiques he says “oh a mamiya, that’s nice camera. I think you’d like this” and he pulls out a leather pouch with a cursive script that made my heart jump with joy. I kept my composure took the leather bound camera and to my surprise it’s a Leica M3 double stroke.
I ask how much and he says 136$, now I live in an area in the world where the stated price is never final and haggling is part of the flea market culture. I try to bring it down to a 100$ but he doesn’t budge. Also it doesn’t help that my friend in the back with no knowledge of what I’m trying to do keeps shouting “I’ll buy it for that price” and “if you don’t want it I’ll buy it” mind you this friend of mine already has a couple of Leica M bodies. I know I’m still getting a good deal so shake his hand he places the M3 around my neck as if I’ve been knighted and I pay him his dues.
I may not have thrifted it for 30 dollars but hey I feel like I got a great deal. May you be as lucky as I was 🙏
Also added some shots from the first roll and with the 50mm f1.5 attached to my digital Sony
