5d mkiii is such an awesome camera. ISO capabilities was my main concern when buying a body and the 5d3/D800 can go up to 16k no problem ;D Couldn't afford it so I stuck to the D700

this. my 60d has to be shot below 800 iso. and i really want full frame. although my 10-22mm will be missed. this lens is so nice.

Am I allowed to try ?

sure why not

Sweet I'd love to take it for a spin!

I got quite a lot of stuff off my engine to paint, does anyone have an oven I can use to bake the wrinkle coat on the valve cover and intake? My dad understandably doesn't want me to do it in the kitchen.

E 19th. The part of Oakland that reminds me of Ramadi. I used to go to warehouse raves not far from there, about 15 years ago.

Pitbull next door to the apartment complex barking at me the entire time, and I set off 3 car alarms within 2 blocks of the destination address just driving by. Good times.

there was a tiny warehouse really close to where i was last night that got used for a a lot of undergrounds in the late 90s/early 2ks before the cops got sick of it and siezed the place from the owners. was around 8th/east 11th. we called it the "crackhouse" because the full-time residents were... interesting. most parties the promoter specified they had to stay in their rooms, but not always.

knives:



paint on the benchmade is pretty worn by now, it's my daily carry.

bayonet i had a civilian contractor friend sneak out of iraq for me.

big fucker is a genuine tibetan kukri, gift from close friend.
