Trust me, get photogs together, and we start talking shop. We did the other day at the Cruz rally in town. I hear that Sony bodies are magnificent for color and crispness. Yup, a few campaign staffers were a tad confused.

I will have to put my cents away for a NICE Nikon something-500 lens. I was having issues with the 70-300 at the Sanders Rally. Secret Service, that is where they put us. The latter was what we could afford as well.

After that though I struck a nice talk with a party big whig, and learned more than I already knew of the Republican primary mechanics. I don't mind that, makes my job far, far, far easier.

I am well-versed in the price range and abilities. That could easily be even higher than that if it came out this year. The new G-Masters from Sony are outrageous. I almost wanted to charge more for the delivery.

now here is the real crime. Obviously guy does not pay for his gear. I just went and bought a new lens cover. Yeah, yeah we put filters but still. Confession time, hubby gets a tad shoddy about that at times. And when we lose them, which happens, he is not too timely about replacing them. Well, one of my fellow photogs brought his lenses in what looked like a gym bag... (cringe) and then he left the back cover of the lens without a lens cap.

Yup, that became a point of conversation with a bunch of photogs.

I still cringe.

Do you honestly consider her post to be professional? Judging from the Tweets, most, if not all have smoked out her intent. This post made it sound like Bernie was taking a picture with a guy while he was smoking a joint.....completely uncalled for, especially coming from a campaign reporter

"Man smoking joint while taking selfie with @BernieSanders"

Sen Merkley's endorsement of Bernie. The editor's picks in the comment section were almost all Hillary supporters. Each comment had about 200-400 likes. The reader's favorites were all pro-Bernie and had between 1100-1800 likes. It was quite remarkable. The corporate media is doing all they can...

She did attempt with that tweet and photo, what they did to OWS.

It is called meme creation. It should not be tolerated by the public, It is also editorializing the story. (And for the record, there might be some instruction from editors, knowing how this actually works)

Let's focus on "OMG THE DIRTY HIPPIES ARE SMOKING POT" instead of thousands and thousands of people working to bring about the change this country so desperately needs.

And FWIW, pot is as ubiquitous in Washington Square as a Starbucks on every corner. Even when I lived in NYC years ago it was well known among my friends and coworkers as the place to go for a quick score.

Her face and vibe always show that she isn't into the Bernie thing at all, and she makes little effort to hide it, or perhaps great effort to show it. She's doing what her employers want her to do, which is to dampen the Bern.
