    Film dead?

    Don't underestimate what can be done in the darkroom. Stalin edited himself into a lot of photographs that he wasn't in originally. Also, when the adjusters came out to look at my place after Sandy they had a cheap digital point and shoot.

    Speed Bump

    I don't have any information on that pond. Maybe some of the other people here know. Glad to see you're still pressing on!

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    I picked up a pair of ankle high Sketchers boots for the MSF class I took and was planning on using them to hike. I'll definitely look into the gaiters. Thanks!

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    Do you find that the spray ruins the leather on your boots?

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    Not my problem. :)

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    I'm very sensitive to bug bites and whatnot, so even a few bites can be unbearable for me.

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    I've only had about 5 bites this season, but I've only been out in the woods twice since they started coming out. I am pretty religious about checking my shoes and when I see them crawling on there I douse them with spray. Realistically I should just purchase a pair of knee high boots and stop...

    Seaside Park boardwalk burning....

    Tragic. From what I have heard most area fire companies have been called out. Couldn't the NJ Forest Fire Service send their helicopters over to drop ocean water on the fire?

    Facebook photo's

    That article is FUD. If you read the actual TOS it mentions nothing about collecting location data (besides allowing you to tag your location in a post), call history, etc. The only thing that is slightly ominous is that a brand can pay to use your profile picture or status update if they want...

    Philadelphia Newspapers in the early 19th Century

    Does anybody know, off the top of their head, what the "main" newspapers were in Philadelphia from between 1810-1830?

    Film dead?

    I had one of these (or very similar) micro 110 cameras. Was handy to bring on 4th grade field trips. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SSI-Shafer-Micro-110-Film-Camera-SET-Very-RARE-/181212618011?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item2a311d1d1b

    Film dead?

    The Lomographic Society makes 110 film now. The problem is that you'll end up paying through the nose to get it processed, if you can even find a place. I have never even seen a 110 SLR. That's pretty cool! http://shop.lomography.com/us/films/110-film

    Where in the World is New Jersey?

    I definitely want to check out the Hopkins map!

    Film dead?

    I actually found a 10 year old expired roll of film and shot it in my 40 year old Pentax K1000. Shooting film definitely slows you down, which is great. I'm willing to bet that my compositions in that roll are pretty good compared to when I shoot digital. Digital is great for convenience...

    Film dead?

    Kodak recently sold its film division to one of its UK pension funds, so presumably we should still see Kodak film on the shelves for years. Also recently it was Kodak's 120th birthday.
