Anyone get the same message for Ernest Saves Christmas? Free seems correct there.

It was supposed to look like prohibition era booze storage, but it was actually a garlic processing plant so the joke was on our noses.

Speaking of lenses and Leicas, took out the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 on the SL2 Sunday. Helped a friend shoot a band. I was second camera so zero pressure. Most of me loves the lens. My lower back is the contrarian.

Definitely relate. At least the biggie, Sequence, is still close as it moved from Palo Alto (Stanford's Cantor Center) to SFMOMA and then back to Palo Alto. Somewhere I have a photo of young Esmé, with wide eyes, getting lost in the light & shadows.

How are you using "beat"?

Cough twice if that's Colin Farrell in there.

If you go back more years there were Cord Cameras all over Ohio and a chance my smiling face was on the other side of the counter.

Not to belabor the point, but the dates I used… “Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996 – the name refers to the fact many came of age around the year 2000.” https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/which-age-range-who-generation-z-millennial-boomer-zoomer-b1073540.html

You’re approaching three decades late for places like Kansas, no?
