I just did a photo shoot for a ceramic studio kiln unloading last night and have been reading too much nofilmschool. To the gear-savvy or those lucky enough to find Mark III's, can we share some camera related posts? Whether it's what you use for eBay photography, or for personal use, or something you found in the field.

I thought I'd share some of the photos before I edit them later, too.

I ate five year old pesto last New Years eve before going out to Providence. After hitting up some crazy gay bars (the only ones that would stay open to 5 am) I bruised my ribs needing to vomit over a fence. Puked for the next two days and couldn't eat anything but grapes. I think time, water salt and maybe small pieces of fruit will help.


Edit: Don't eat pizza, don't even try it.

Anyone else who give two ***** about the super bowl like this post.

It depends. When is it?

No thrifting for me yesterday as the gf and I were cooking and cleaning all day in preparation for hosting dinner with her folks. Since this is the bragging thread, I did slay some homemade pizzas and a chocolate pistachio tart. Also swung by a local mens store's warehouse sale after my haircut and picked up some heavily discounted socks. Couldn't pass up Brioni OTC 100% cashmere for under $20 (other two are wool).

Talked with a salesman for over an hour about all things menswear, including the folding of Bills Khakis, acquisition of Zanella, under appreciation of Gravati shoes, vicuna, etc. It was nice to talk with someone who is as passionate about the same things. Also, I noticed the gorgeous Rolex on his wrist and got a great lead on getting my recently thrifted Omega Seamaster fixed.

And I could give three ***** about the Super Bowl.

I just had food poisoning for the second time in my life a few weeks ago. After all the ******** and puking was out of the way, I popped some aspirin and slept for about 5 hours. Felt totally fine after that.

A few things from this morning. Reposting the turnbull and bvlgari because they are available along with everything else. Zegna tie is NWT and true thrift. The coolest tie I've found so far.

One estate sale. I wish they were all as vintage rich as these. A few notes -

English patches are hand embroidered from trimminghams
Look at the hand work on the vintage Brooks suit!
I've never seen a tweed like the blue brooks brothers- and it feels like silk.
Big E Levi's is NA
Croc wallets are completely 70 year plus dead stock. I unwrapped them from their Christmas boxes from the 50s.
Cape is insane. Probably 1910s, silk lined and hand bouillon embroidered.
