I'm lazy so I bought a Nespresso machine and I love it. Since I don't really drink a hell of a lot of coffee, and live alone, it's a waste to buy bags of beans, as I can't get through all of them before the beans get stale. So the Nespresso machine was a better option.

The world is full of pricks.

I don't think that when people use the term "purist" perjoratively, they're talking about people who simply prefer doing things in-camera. I think it's more about people that not only do everything in-camera, but also smugly dictate that their approach is the only valid one and that everything...

This was one of the first sites I ever started visiting for inspiration. Their standards are really high although there's a clear bias towards certain styles and looks. Still, a really good site, along with 500px.

Technically speaking, the moment you paste it into Photoshop, it's been saved somewhere in your computer's cache ;-)

Depending on the size of the venue, you may find your 50mm and 85mm lenses are the most suitable. You only really need a 70-200mm if you're shooting an arena show, and even then, it's not absolutely necessary to have such a long focal length. Plus, those two primes mentioned are fast, which you...

FFS. I am not talking about "non clinical depression". You keep saying I don't need to repeat myself, but despite repeating myself, you're still not getting it. You have still CLEARLY not bothered to read the original post I was responding to. So here it is against quoted just for your...

Huh? You're contradicting yourself; we are not talking about people saying they're feeling a bit blue, we are talking about depression. Two different things. But by all means, if you think that depression being an illness is just "my" opinion, then so be it. Just be aware though that not only...

Errr.... Sickness is spread easily around offices. It's got nothing to do with my immune system or personal space requirements - if one person gets sick in an office, lots of people end up getting sick too. That's a fact.

Yup, everywhere I work is always air conditioned on account of the fact that the work I do is done on very powerful computers, and there is usually a lot of us in each room, generally with two computers each. Without air conditioning, the offices would be rather jungle-like.

I find this guilt about sick days infuriating myself. If you're sick, stay at home, goddamnit. When you go to work sick, you make other people sick; staying at home isn't just about recovering, it's about keeping your germs to yourself. I've been at home, between jobs, for a few months now and...

Oooooh, I'm going to have to go check this out! I may be going to a gig at the O2 in a few weeks, and this would be a good reason to head out to Greenwich early.

I didn't say it was. Your differentiation between what you call a "problem" and an "illness" is pointless to the point of absurd.

This is so ignorant it's almost offensive. Depression, which is an illness, tends to dominate because it's a common ailment, experienced by something like one in four people at some point during their lives. It's also very serious, just as serious as any other mental illness.

Around 2-3 times per week.
