LMAO. No.
I've been enamoured by Tokusatsu as of late.
Especially Kamen Rider~ [1] [2]
I can honestly say I think I've seen Hideaki Anno's Shin Kamen Rider enough times that I can count it as one of my favorite movies. The moment I saw this teaser, it was OVER for me. I literally knew nothing but seeing the sheer dedication to The Vibe? And then give me Hongo Takeshi and Wasp AUG- oOF-
I'll probably make my own Kamen Rider shrines in time~

My current kit consists of a Sony A7II + a myriad of vintage, manual focus prime lens:
I edit on a good ol' PotatOS that screams at me for attempting idiot shenanigans :D
yes. Its slow clap processor is fully functional.
I'm a huge proponent of open-source and indie dev software. however I find that there's a lot of caveats that those "Adobe Alternative" lists that float around often forget to mention, since not all software is 1:1 replacements and actually require a Cronenberg-esque amalgamation of things to do the same simple tasks. When you DO crack it though, it is INCREDIBLY rewarding.
Personally I've become incredibly comfortable using Rawtherapee in lieu of Lightroom.
It should be said that it is incredibly powerful, but the learning curve is incredibly steep. If you'd like to know more granular stuff about how Rawtherapee works, yes check the wiki, but also check out Andy Astbury's Youtube Channel. I've definitely learned a lot more about what the hell particular settings and what not actually do thanks to his work.
The photos I take and edit for others is a joint collaborative effort between artists. As such, if you are a featured model and/or collaborator, you are also free to do as you wish with these photos of your likeness for non-commercial purposes.
If you wish to use them for commericial purposes, please contact me.
I do not consent any of my creations to be used for the purposes of training AI(especially generative ai).
Pretty much the same as Twitter@Oddthicket.
There's often more cosplay pics there, but for now it's kinda rotting. Sorry there
