Hi all:

I have an eye condition that prevents me from looking through the viewfinder with one eye (doctor said doing so will worsen condition—and to use the back LCD instead to compose and focus shots).

Looking for a camera with the largest LCD that can do compose and be used to focus without using the viewfinder.

• ⁠Budget: $7,000

• ⁠Country: United States

• ⁠Condition: any

• ⁠Type of Camera: any

• ⁠Intended use: photograph

• ⁠If photography; what style: landscape

• ⁠If video what style: n/a, but if necessary landscape

• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: LCD-based focusing.

• ⁠Portability: lighter the better

• ⁠Cameras you're considering: haven’t considered any as I do

I’m big on hiking easy trails in national parks 🏞️ and forests🌳. I live in Los Angeles and have PTO until 1/22. I was originally thinking the Eastern Sierra, but (1) it’s peak season for snowboarding, (2) hotels are expensive (like $180+ per night), (3) Sierra Nevada thru roads are closed. Considering Alabama Hills, but that’s all I can think of.

My next second thought was why not go to NV (Valley of Fire) and UT (Zion, Bryce, Glen Canyon, Capitol Reef). Pros: things are closer together, fairly easy walks

Third option: I was blown away by Flagstaff, AZ, Kaibib National Forest, and the Grand Canyon when I drove past. Should I try Sagaro? Petrified Forest? Sedona? Monument Valley? Everything

Looking for brands that fit shorter torsos and arms and wider chests better (men).

For instance, I wear a Patagonia R1 all the time as a layering piece, and the torso and arm length is just right, but the chest is too tight b/c my shoulders and chest is wide.

Your suggestions?

2nd year associate with little experience from my past two jobs in Los Angeles doing Insurance Defense/Personal Injury. Feel like a 1st year). New offer has come in. I’m currently at $120,000. I’m very comfortable where I am. 4 days WFH and my commute is 30 minutes. The pay is limiting in LA. Here’s pros and cons for both the CURRENT position and OFFER.

CURRENT - PROS:

1. Comfort—can stroll in 1 hr late with 2x week physical therapy appointments and 1x week other doctor’s appointments. Young, but sadly I have health issues that must be managed or else.

2. Not a hectic caseload. I’m only on 3 active litigation cases. They may staff me on 1-2 more tops.

3. New legal assistant has changed

Usually not into street/home photography, but this guy does a really nice job, and I can’t put my finger on why. Stumbled upon the profile today. Air of nostalgia? Maybe because it’s familiar but takes place in a hemisphere I don’t usually see (South America).

I work at an ID firm in the LA area as an associate. This is my first trial. My partner is completely unresponsive, and trial is coming up in 3 calendar days (right after this weekend is over). I'm very concerned because my firm is not where it needs to be on trial preparation. We do not have binders ready to go. No opening/closing arguments. No questions for the witnesses. Nothing.

We opposed one motion in limine (but since we have no legal software, I could not cite to any law). After my peers told me having no legal software was "very weird" and not the norm for a litigation firm, my worries began to grow. I now refuse to sign my name on any papers.

I've done my best to put as many do
