    Tripod Question...

    Not a rookie, know the rules and common decency issues... I do a lot of long exposure work and a tripod is coming. That isn't the question. The question: I don't really use photo backpacks so I'm either using a pelican case (as I am a pro) or a small shoulder messenger bag style bag. The...

    Tom Bricker

    I remember Tom Bricker from way back in the day... full of ambition and passion for photography. While I stopped following a while back I still would stop to see his work from time to time. While I’ve never been impressed with the photography he’s a good example of a guy that saw an opening...

    Am I Alone... WDW Food is BAD

    Value is subjective and varies from person to person but I’ve never had a meal at WDW that left me with a “wow, that’s the best (blank) I’ve ever had” or “wow, I’ve never had that before”. Let’s hear it... am I alone or not?!

    Keto Lifestyle Group

    Anyone else here living a Keto (low carb , high fat) lifestyle? Figured I’d start a thread to offer support and morale for the troops. I started my Keto journey in November of 2018, Black Friday... after my (now) ex sister in law lost nearly 200 lbs. I hadn’t seen her in a long time and...

    Giving Up Summer Trips

    Has anyone else quit WDW during the summer months? My DW and I just got back, and while we had a great time since we are fans, it got to a point where I've been 7 times in 4 years and summer isn't worth it. It's hot... Hoards of tour groups and 60 min waits for POTC and HM?!?! DW is a teacher so...
