Great to see we have fellow fans of great photographers in yourself and @UB 40.

I was looking at Lu Nan's work on Magnum's website at your suggestion and his work is incredible, a lot of it makes your heart break. I loved his four seasons work in Tibet, what a hard but beautiful place and people.

I love documentary photography and Gordon Parks is one of my favorites.
Glad you have the same resonance! I collected four of his works. On the Road, Four Seasons, the Forgotten, and the Northern Prison of Myanmar, they respectively told about the underground Catholicism, Tibetan farmers, the mentally ill, and the drug problem in Southeast Asia. His documentary photography is imbued with J.S.Bach and Goethe's lofty spirit.It is not difficult to describe suffering, but it shows that it is true compassion to show holiness in suffering.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. I may finish the day with this smoke.

First time smoking Mixture 79 in a MM Apple Diplomat with a Forever Stem.

To be honest, with some of the comments about the blend, I wasn’t to sure what to except, but that it might be really terrible.

This is very Burley forward tasting, with a lot of good Burley notes going on, along with some subtle sweetness.

I’m shocked, this is a really nice all day blend, mine really tastes like good quality tobacco.

I bought it off of Cup O Joes last week, maybe the blend has improved, from the really low reviews from the past.

The tin note might be a bit odd, but not the taste... ;)



Be well everyone! ❤️
