In my experience it is. I haven’t watched anything newer. I’m not sure if I ever will.
In college I set up a 5x4 view camera that my grandfather had been given in the 50s.
It included a custom lens plate that the original owner had built. Stopped way down, I was able to take a low perspective shot of a field with some propane trucks in the distance, and the grass blades in the foreground were in focus, along with the tanks that were sort of the subject, 3-400 yards away.
The one thing I regret about the shot was that there was no sky, just blue (which means white/gray in b/w). Ansel was definitely an inspiration for that shot. In hindsight, I could have laid on my back just in front of the camera and still reached the shutter.
Adams literally founded Group f/64!
Adam’s was known for his super deep depth of field. So yeah, it would have been stopped way down and been a fairly wide angle lens, though probably not more than 40mm equivalent.
Also these were at least 4x5 inch negatives up to 8x10 negatives a lot of the time.
Pedantic punchline:
Funny guy, but he’s never going to be a pharmacist.
Toyotas Tacoma frames were a lost cause either way. They literally frame swapped almost all of the running tacomas in New England under their recall/warranty.
Oil film undercoating is a good thing though, even if it’s a mess to work on your car later.
Didn’t know Epstein had a horse, but not surprised.
I guess living in states with astronomical electricity prices and no affordable real estate was worth it after all!
If only we didn’t all share the the same climate…

It was almost always the case in my childhood that the kids lashing out had bigger problems to deal with at home (parents splitting, drinking or beatings). That was in a mid-lower class mixed town in the 80s-90s elementary school.
We still had a few upper-middle class bullies in there, but they got straightened out when caught, at least until highschool football made it acceptable again and shit got worse for some again. It was also a much bigger highschool.
My wife was in a less diverse school system, more wealthy, and had a much more pleasant experience. Still had to deal with mean girl psychological bullying though in HS.
Maybe with less frame rot tho.
Actually the as Toyota trucks are rapidly becoming the ass that the American makers are selling.
Maybe a 20 year old Toyota, yes, but without the rust.
The Renault 5 had a Turbo version where the They took the whole drivetrain out and stuck it in the middle of the car to make it a mid rear car.
Same for the Austin/MG Metro. They made the MG Metro 6r4 Clubman in a similar way, though they added a 4wd system in along with putting the motor in the rear.
Both of these were really just homologation specials though and only produced in small numbers basically as race cars.
One other more production style weird one is the Chrysler Horizon and Talbot Sunbeam, which were very similar cars, the former FF and the latter FR drivetrains that were in production at the same time in Europe. In the US they were the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon and early ones and VW rabbit motors in them.
It was 5°F (-15°C) out. She would stand up and turn away when I opened the door to let her in. Then lay back down to watch us from outside after I closed it. The snow was so deep that The wind chill -5–10° probably wasn’t really affecting her at least.
They have the badminton rackets for knocking apples out of a wild apple tree across the field. We made a surprisingly tasty apple crisp with instant oatmeal and some vutter on the fire that night.
That’s all hand painted, no vinyl wraps here!
