Thank you Fallout75
Chris Glass has shared his technique for making photos look like they were taken on vintage film. I am seriously in danger of applying this to every photo I have ever taken.
Expect a flurry of photo posts.

Lightning
This dude must be wishing he was dressed as Raiden right now. Even so he could at least have tried to make it look as if the lightning was spewing forth from his outstretched palms (though I guess making yourself taller in a lightning storm isn’t such a great idea).

Gifts and Choices
Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder/CEO) gave the commencement speech at Princeton this year on the subject of how your choices (rather than your gifts) make you who you are:
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.
When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made.
