    Photographers who spend $$$$$ on camera, lenses, film, tripod, meter, accessories, and use dimestore spectacles to focus with. Makes me laugh when it doesn't make me want to throw things.

    Can we call you "Par" for short? I'll give you a great deal on a proper loupe...

    Judgmental, aren't we? 99¢ spectacles, I'll have you know.

    Guilty, but the truck was second hand, errrh – recycled.

    Nice thread, Garrett!

    How 'bout...

    $30K a year for undergraduate, then graduate school, hoping to get a $30K a year job teaching others who will spend $30K a year for their degrees hoping to get a $30K a year teaching job...

    I'll have you know that my spectacles cost $6.00, ordered directly from China. Because the dollar store doesn't carry +5.00 spectacles.
