These are not good photos but it sure was fun to take them

I tried a bunch of used models in search of the feeling as I remember it with my grandfather's mamiya sekor twenty years ago (at which time the camera was itself already forty years old).

The zf really nails that feeling like nothing else. It keeps all the joy and magic and loses all of the clunk I either forgot about or was too excited to notice back then. It's a hoot with a voigtlander and a beast with a Nikkor S.

I guess I should learn all the digital stuff like Lightroom and autofocus and recipes etc but for now just trying to see if I can find the eye I used to think I have (I think that was also colored by nostalgia though, and now I just have a better idea how not good I am). And why bog myself down when it's this enjoyable to get bad ones?

Anyone who fired with young kids: what's your childcare situation?

I've seen a lot of anecdotes about how when you fire, you don't need to pay for childcare because you can do it yourself. But in my experience that means your entire life becomes childcare, and you'll be burned out to a crisp.

For those that have made the plunge with young kids, what's the reality of your childcare? What's your support network? Anyone with absolutely zero help making it work and still having time to do all the things they thought they'd do?
