I walk into a room wearing an oversized trench coat. Someone says: "Hey, what's with the trench coat?"

I reply: "Sorry, I have corvid."

They respond: "don't you mean COVID?"

And I say "No," opening up my coat as a flock of ravens pours out

If you know an artist, an author, or a musician – thank them for me tonight. They make the world a better place.

I'm trying to find a good color film stock to shoot gigs with. I've tried Cinestill 800T pushed 1 stop to mixed results. But high ISO color film is so hard to find. Any of my film photo friends have recommendations?
