A couple of weeks ago, it was Date Night at the Capital District Home and Garden Show, and I brought along my new-to-me Nikon F2s, slapped on a 55mm f/1.2 manual focus non-AI’d lens, and packed a roll of expired Kodak Ektachrome Dyna film in the chassis. The goal – see if the camera can…
Read MoreThere’s a better way than just “dumping kittens in the night.” Ugh.

Read MoreMatt Gaetz extorts diabetics. Film at 11.
The Republican “Troll Caucus” keeps things from getting done. These trolls are prone to grandstanding, deflecting, marginalizing, and just straight-up destroying America.
