13:36 @laurennmcc Here's a another question: which is the superior Manzarek joint? X or The Doors? #
13:37 @laurennmcc To be fair at this point any reference to The Doors is just baiting you. #
13:42 HAPPY BIRTHDAY @looori! I hope you get fancy cake with your turkey this weekend. #

11:54 @chipch13 Depends on how much fidelity you care about and how far you would be staring from. I'd say anything above 10mp is fine. #

02:27 I have survived the November month of reckoning with the LA Derby Dolls. I have a ton of great photos, posters, videos, and MEEEEMORIESSSS #
13:18 The flyer for the LA Derby Dolls championship bout is bonkers and designed by Jordan Crane. tinyurl.com/ycfhbwk #
13:21 GAHHHHH I want new glasses but all the swanky stuff is made in Japan and I can't navigate a Japanese shopping cart. #
14:08 @radiomaru this is the best question ever asked on the twitters #

16:54 Seriously, does it get more douchebaggy fancy than a Hermes branded Leica M7? tinyurl.com/y9ddc2q #
17:05 RT @thatgamecompany Flower & Jenova Chen in NYTimes Magazine article! bit.ly/2ijzDV #
17:06 Had a meeting at UTA today. I have never heard the words "what else do you got" uttered at me in such rapid succession. #
17:09 I did get to stare at this Gregory Crewdson print on the wall at UTA. www.paranaiv.no/files/images/gregory_crewdson_01_04.jpg #
17:45 @stevensanders Y'know, I really would love to shoot with a Leica rangefinder system, just to be stealthy. But GAHHHH I hate ltd edition crap #
18:18 @stevensanders Nah, you look through viewfinder that is separate from the actual lens that takes the photo. Makes for a MUCH smaller camera. #
18:20 @xtop WHAT #
18:30 @stevensanders Tiny lenses, silent shutter. VERY low profile. You don't really appreciate the difference until you hold one in your hands. #
18:33 @stevensanders It also costs more than a good digital camera system for the privilege to shoot full manual and on film. So that's the minus. #
19:43 @stevensanders well there is a digital Leica body, but it's 5K alone so screw that noise #
20:34 @stevensanders 99% is shot with my 24-70 f2.8. I also use a 50mm f1.4 and an 80-200 f2.8, but primarily the 24-70. #
