Just wanted to share the most hilariously embarrassing moment of my life with you all. by kindnessaboundin TwoXChromosomes

[–]lisawin 4 points5 points ago

Oh god... Similar story: male friend was going through my phone pictures, got to one that had been intended for my SO's eyes only, and got uncomfortable. That wasn't even the worst part. Since it was just a quick glance and all he saw were pubes, he assumed it was a picture that my SO had sent to me. I then grimaced enough for him to finally realize it was, in fact, my pubes he'd seen. Thankfully we're close enough friends that it wasn't TOO bad, but we both learned a very important lesson that day. Ugh...

I have a condition called dermatographism AKA 'skin writing'. What's something strange about your body that's not necessarily good or bad? by NotTart5in AskReddit

[–]lisawin 1 point2 points ago

I have one wisdom tooth BUT I'm missing three adult molars. I still have those three baby molars, because there are no adult teeth to push them out. New dentists/hygienists usually get kind of excited when they see my X-rays for the first time.

Fox 1810... That wouldn't happen to be in in Lowell, MA would it?

... probably not, but figured I'd ask anyways...

My dad never really taught me things men should know. What are some life hacks that only a dad could teach? by Davidmoosein AskReddit

I feel like once you explain it'll sound obvious, but could you explain #8? I'm super curious now...

My best friend of 13 years died by MonstersOfMenin Pets

[–]lisawin 1 point2 points ago

I'm so sorry for your loss :(. Would you happen to know what breed he was? The first picture looks a lot like my dog (just.. Bigger), but we've never been able to figure out what he is.

Im not petite. I'm tall, and I'm thick and I need some help and a little love.. by Natalia_Banditain xxfitness

[–]lisawin 1 point2 points ago

Yep! I just tried going shopping for clothes the other day and it was so frustrating. I can never find a bra in my size either (34DD). Guhhh...

[–]lisawin 5 points6 points ago

I haven't read all the comments yet, but I will in a sec. I just want to let you know that I feel your pain. I'm 5' 10", 205lbs. I can never stay on track with food tracking apps, I was doing really well at the gym for a while but then the winter happened and if it's dark out it's impossible for me to get out of bed. If it's salty, I want it. The problem I have, though, is that I then feel the need to balance it with something sweet. Saltysweetsaltysweetsaltysweet, back and forth. Ugh. Anyways, good luck!! Just know that you're not alone. :)

Personal Phone Call Rage by [deleted]in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]lisawin 10 points11 points ago

Worse: people who come in late and leave early and call out all the time, and then panic when they have too much to do and ask other people to help them do their work. And they can't get fired because they have a contract. I've stopped caring, though. Mostly...

I shoot film 99% of the time, but obviously I do all of my retouching and color correcting digitally. Would I still be able to submit work, or are you looking for purely digital submissions?

Where to get started with medium format. by ChoTaiin analog

[–]lisawin 0 points1 point ago

There are definitely TLRs that are worth way more than others. Hasselblada, bronicas, etc. They're just higher end versions. I have two vintage Yashicas that work just fine for what I need them for, and they're pretty indestructible.

[–]lisawin 2 points3 points ago

It never occurred to me that Monopoly properties would have different names outside of the U.S. My mind was just blown. (I realize this is kind of sad, I just never had any reason to consider it before.)

[–]lisawin 1 point2 points ago

Holgas are definitely a fun, easy way to get started. Maybe even a Diana, since they offer a little more control. However, if you're looking for a medium format camera that let's you control everything (shutter speed, aperture, DOF preview), you can definitely fine a fully functioning TLR for a decent price at a flea market. A quick eBay search for Yashica TLRs (what I have) shows people trying to sell them for hundreds of dollars. These people are full of it.

TL;DR: holgas are a fun, cheap way to start in medium format. Try flea markets/consignment stores/etc for cheap, functional, vintage TLRs. Definitely doable for under $50.

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

new camera + some street shots. are they really that bad? what do you think? by horralltikiin photocritique

[–]lisawin 0 points1 point ago

The first ones kinda neat, the way the light is outlining the figures and all. The main problem is that I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at. I mean, obviously whatever is in the picture, but what about it? Photographers rely on light, color, etc to provide visuand cues and direct the eye. here is an example. The pose is pretty intentional, it circles your eye around. Even the shoulder from the mannequin is pointing upwards and keeps the movement going. Since that's more formal, here's another example of how you can still achieve this when you're out shooting "in the wild" so to speak: here. The stairs guide your eye down exactly where the photographer wants it to be.

Anyway, my point is that the problem is that it's not clear WHY you took the picture, or what we should be looking at. Ask yourself: what about these people or scenarios interested you, and how can you make that clearer without having to explain it?

Sorry if that's rambly and doesn't help, I'm half asleep and not helpful. If you want, I can elaborate or maybe explain more clearly in the morning.

Edit: cues, not clues

Also remember that the number on the scale isn't everything. You could gain ten pounds but LOOK much smaller, because it's muscle mass instead.

My first world problem by lilaregenbogenin TwoXChromosomes

[–]lisawin 1 point2 points ago

Exactly! I think she measured on my chest the very top of the girls (so the tape went under my pits), and then maybe two inches down, just above my nips.

Online bulk flowers? by lawnwrangler63in weddingplanning

[–]lisawin 0 points1 point ago

I haven't done it personally, but it was highly recommended to me by someone I know who did it. I'd recommend ordering some from the company of your choice to see how they arrive, the quality, etc. Most wholesale flower sellers will only sell you whats in season. If I remember right, this is the company he used.

[–]lisawin 4 points5 points ago

I went to VS once to try and get fitted... I already could tell she wasn't measuring in the right places, then tried telling me I was a 38-something. Bitch, please. I was there because my 36Ds were fitting loose in the band, how is a 38 going to help?? (I can't confirm this, but I'm pretty sure I'm a 34DD...)

I am a survivor by maxhawkin fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]lisawin 2 points3 points ago

The other night I saw I had five missed calls from my mom within an hour, and even a message on facebook telling me to call her. Assuming the worst, I call back to make sure no ones hurt or dead. What do I get? "oh, I just wanted to hear your voice...". Now, before I get called out on sounding like a jerk, because my mom is sweet and means well, FIVE TIMES! I legitimately was hoping no one was dead. Why isn't one call sufficient?

When will girls realize this makes you uglier. by montypytho17in pics

I just had to google this because I couldn't believe it could POSSIBLY be what it sounded like. And yet it was. WTF Japan?

Hey Reddit: What have you done in your life that has caused you recurring guilt, even years later? by cvogt1972in AskReddit

[–]lisawin 2 points3 points ago

Not nearly as sad, but I can relate. My only memory of my grandmother is not letting her kiss me goodbye the last time I ever saw her. I was three, and she died a few months later.

Every Month by andtheniwaslike27in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lisawin 4 points5 points ago

Really? I'm jealous. I feel almost no different. The pain/double cramps are still there, the only thing different is now I don't have the immediate urge to poop. But I still feel like I'm going to have to very soon. I usually just sit on the toilet hunched over for a while... (I really hope my reedit secret Santa isn't still stalking me... If so, sorry buddy)
