Selling a film camera on Craigslist...

[Richard S. (rich815)]

You should probably just agree that you don't want Tom in California hahaha maybe he should move to "Jefferson" though, he might like it there. (This is a "new state" sort of haha, oh you Cali-Organians...).

Haha! Maybe so. But that's my point. This state is so diverse. Firstly, LA vs. SF and that's just a simplistic way of looking at NorCal vs SoCal. Then even looking at the east bay where I live, SF and Oakland/Berkeley are really more different than one would think, and Berkeley is actually very close to Contra Costa county, the conservative Orange County of the north! Areas in the foothills around the outskirts of Sacramento are solidly as conservative as Berkeley and San Francisco is liberal. And that's not even considering the more rural or desert areas. About as rural in some places as the Appalachians (do I hear banjos?). Bottom line? We can find someplace Tom would fit in.

I'm sure California is a beautiful state, scenery-wise.

Tom is political and doesn't like pornography, hippies, non-traditional and non-hetero-relationships, Eco environmentalists, blue states, or progress...

That was about as non-political as I could make it

Just leave him be... He is a good guy who just doesn't like a lot of things... Lol

Guys like Tom are easy to deal with, just hand them a large glass of whatever they like to drink, sit them down in a shady spot, and get on with your life.

square

You would be surprised how many squares there are in California. Out here in the desert I am surrounded by snowbird Canadians. Not to insult anybody but I remember a lady saying on a British sitcom "you are going to the Canadian Embassy? Don't you know enough boring people?" Boring as straight, square I think.
To get back to film photography, I just noticed on a popular thrift shop web site they had a Leica 3c up for auction. This was made maybe in the 1940s, early 1950s? Well, the auction site states that the camera "powers up." I'd like to see that, but the bid for it is already over $500. Too rich for my blood.

I think I should hold my tongue on the subject. I don't want any emails from Sean. I'm sure there's some good people in California, as would be expected of most any place.

I always enjoy the emails I get from Sean.

Never been to west hollywierd, but my cousin (who is in fact a drag queen) lives there.

WeHo isn't even a part of Los Angeles... it just happens to be located within an otherwise fine city.

And to address your earlier post... it isn't just drag queeens in short skirts but many young ladies too. Unfortunately most of then are in the 12 to 20 age group. Lookie-lookie but no touchie.

To get back to film photography... I find the folks in "boys town" to be very willing subjects for film photography. Generally friendly, congenial, and often quite animated when they get the chance to pose. Very different from other parts of the LA area. I have no idea how they respond to digial photography, though, but that is a topic more suitable for some other forum.

I find that a bit disturbing that you grouped the 12-17 year olds into the "lookie lookie" group...

The fact that you said "square" probably makes you a square now... Lol

Ya, I find that disturbing too. But I also will "lookie-lookie" at 50+ year olds. Some day so will you.

When I was 28 I "dated" a 49 year old, I'm not agist hah!

I'm 5'8" and she was 5'11" so I'm not height-ist either

My significant other can still rock a bikini at her age(which isn't as old as me, but not much younger either).

I've said that Jaclyn Smith will be a dollbaby when she's 90. And have you seen Marie Osmond in the Nutrisystem commercials?

Edit: My biggest problem is that at almost 6'5", when I look at the ladies (or anybody else) about all I see is the top of their head.
