Some film shots of the Leica store at night
I was getting ice cream with my family in Coral Gables and had Portra 800 loaded in my Nikon F6. When we were about to head home I remembered that the Miami Leica store was near by. I wanted to take a film photo of the Leica store so we walked over. That red dot! So simple and nice it even makes the store look fancy. It was closed at the time. Maybe one day I'll own one and be fancy.
Whats better then a Leica, two Leica's

If you look closely you’ll see vertical and horizontal lines of distortion. I photographed this through a chain link fence. I used my VR zoom lens maxed out at 85mm.

 TOME RAIDERS REPEAT FIRST PLACE RANKING
    
     










     
     In a move reminiscent of the mid-eighties Lakers, the Morrisville Tome Raiders repeated their place ranking during the 2022 Reading Olympics competition.
    Led by team captain Aisha Moundir, the Tome Raiders cemented their place in annals of Reading Olympics' history.
    "She is pretty much the James Worthy of the team," said co-advisor Ken Kelman.
     The team competed in a Kahoot style question format, vanquishing their opponents, like the Lakers smashed the Celtics in 1984.
     "It was a total team victory," said co-advisor, Traci Coley. "The students knew their stuff."
     The students hope to earn a Three-peat next year under the leadership of new captain, Olvia Bielawski.

Miami's Big Red M
This huge M is awesome. It's not in a very visible area unfortunately. If you take the metro mover you might not even notice it. It has a yellow gator drawn on the floor. This should really be replicated in a better location and turned into a landmark photo spot of Miami.

     First Annual Summer Reading Book Fair











By Jade Perry
       On Wednesday, June 8 and Thurday June 9,, all students 5-11 grades of Morrisville were given the opportunity to select their own book for this year’s summer reading assignment.
      A book fair was set up in the media center with various donated books for the students to pick from. While students are permitted to keep their book permanently, returning their summer reading book for future students will get them extra credit on the summer reading assignment next year, making a great way to start off the year with a head start!
       Many students had positive things to say about the book fair. 
       Haris Qazi said “The book fair is a very inspiring place.”. 
      “I think the book fair is very helpful because we get to pick what we read.” Casandra Ulysse said when asked her opinion on the book fair.
      While the book fair idea was generally well received by students, it was not without its critics. According to Amya Pathirana, “[The book fair] is the most ridiculous thing ever, we are too old for this.”
      Eric Sewell also had more to add, “The book fair was like rain: once you go in it doesn’t get better.”
     "It is a nice thing to do," said Kaylee Searle 
     Jon Gilkeson added that the book fair was very delicious. 
      The book fair offered students with a lot of freedom of choice over what they read for the summer, and the book fair assignment itself is even more open, giving the students several options as to what assignment they can complete about their chosen book. 
     From writing a rap about their book, to illustrating a comic of key scenes, the students of Morrisville Middle/Senior High School are given the choice to select the assignment that works best for them. Many students are sure to enjoy their newfound freedom of choice in this year’s summer reading project

Nikon FM2 film advance lever mod

My Nikon FM2 Mod
Fixing the film advance lever
My Nikon FM2n is the nicest, yet most simple film camera I’ve owned. It's "teached" me more about photography in a couple months than anything I've ever used. It's all manual! This simplicity forced me to focus and learn what it is I’m doing. It has a light meter but it's super simple.
About 1/2 Inch
I love this camera but it has one major problem I had to fix… To shoot a photo the film advance lever needs to be in the open position. I use my left eye for the viewfinder so the film advance lever pokes straight into my face, making the camera hard to use.



I ordered a spare film advance lever. Grinned about 1/2 of an inch off. Glued on the plastic cover. Then watched  Youtube teardown videos to see how to replace the film lever. A few very nervous steps later and voila, my film advance lever is replaced. It's now shorter and doesn’t poke my very handsome face.
The original longer lever had more leverage so it did feel shorter. I don’t notice the difference any longer thou. The pushing of the lever works flawless. I'm glad I did it and I love shooting with this camera even more. I made this fantastic camera even better!
My solution
Much shorter
Note: I could have made this mod on the original lever. I would have saved myself  the spare lever cost of $7 and the hassle of swapping it out. But, I wanted a way to revert back to stock just in case things went wrong.
