  • Don’t focus on the equipment. Any dslr, be it mirrorless, full frame, or traditional format, will be more than enough to get started and learn how photography works.

    Force yourself to use manual mode and learn how fstops, shutter speed, iso and everything else tie together to make an image. I know you said no refurbished, but the used market is ideal for beginners. I went to school for photography (not my current career) but I still use a 20 year old nikon with the kit lens and a couple nice prime lenses I added along the way. The equipment rarely holds you back. With that said, once you have your feet wet, lenses are where you want to invest. An entry level camera with a nice lens will take better pics than a high end camera and shitty lens.








  • Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT use your own device. You most likely will have to install software packages onto the machine that can and will track everything you do, at the bare minimum on the work account, and potentially the entire system. You don’t want to run the risk of the company having access to your personal stuff.

    There are also a lot of legal words that work their way into contracts that state things like “anything done on a work related machine is the property of the company”. Don’t risk it, fight them to get them to provide a work device.

    I get excited for stupid stuff as I age. Fresh pillows for the couch I actually like. New rug for the front door. God damn weighted blanket to help me sleep.

    You best believe I’m first in line to fuck up some nazis though, or fascists, or whoever is on the other side of history when all this goes to hell.

    Xanax turns off a different portion of the brain. It feels more like “nothing can bother me”. If I’ve taken Xanax for my panic attacks, the house could be on fire and I’d be the dog with the coffee cup.

    Alcohol always tends to feel like a cover up for emotions rather than a clearing out effect, hence why some people get emotional while drinking. Similar, but different at the same time.

    I’m prescribed Xanax, but the lowest dose. It’s for my panic attacks, and it is an extremely fast acting, very effective drug that calms you down. I kind of just makes you not care about much and a little drowsy. I can imagine that in large doses, it would make one feel pretty damn good.
