“Trumped” 2016. Fuji X-Pro 1, Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 lens.

Here’s a photo that I think best sums up the week. This is not meant to be a photo award winner nor is it a technical tour de force in any way. It’s just a photo that best sums up my week 🙂

Now it’s not my place to take sides or even talk about politics here on a site like Camera Legend, but ah what the heck…

It was amazing, though actually not surprising to see President Trump’s failed attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, which is in no way perfect either. Health care is tough.

Again, it’s not my desire to take sides or get into any political debates. Just speaking for me, Republicans/Democrats, they’re pretty much the same to me. Just like the late great Lemmy once said…”You win some, you lose some, it’s all the same to me.”

They may have very different agendas, but in the end they all produce about the same crap, and a lot of it 🙂

The “closer,” the deal maker par excellence was not able to cut this deal. They tried to blame the Democrats, but that won’t fly with majority Republican control on the Hill. They actually pulled the bill because he didn’t even have enough Republican support! How about that? Personally, I think it was rushed and perhaps Ryan can be blamed for that, but when you’re President, the bottom line lies with you.

I think the President learned a very hard lesson this week and it is this…

No one can change how Washington D.C. is run. Many have tried, none have been able to get it done. Yes Virginia, there is a reason why you sometimes need to be a politician to make deals in Washington. I’m betting after four years the President will be a politician par excellence! Then what will happen? We’ll just have another politician in the White House, as it was always meant to be 🙂

***DEAL ALERT***

From time to time, our media affiliates will send us deals they have going on and since I do not want to burden you good people with advertisement, I decide whether or not to tell you about it. And believe me, the majority of the time I choose not to plug it, much the chagrin of our media friends 🙂

“Standing Strong” 2013. Fuji X-Pro 1, Canon 35mm f/1.8 ltm. I’ve used the Fuji X-Pro 1 for some time. It’s an outstanding camera with its native Fuji lenses, but is a pain to use with legacy manual lenses such as the Canon I used here. The Fuji X-T1 that I’m talking about in the article is a much better body for this purpose.

Just like you, I know no one likes it when you plug an ad or ask you to click a link, but you should know too writing and equipment reviews take a lot of time and cost money, most of which I spend on my own to give you the best info I can and I do this for free. No one ever sent me a piece of equipment to write about. But that’s ok, I love this thing, that’s why I do it and I can and will always remain objective.

If you buy anything through our links, I don’t get much, if at all, but every little bit adds to help this site grow. And it costs you nothing to do so. Especially if you’re planning to buy the stuff anyway, it’s a win-win.

Anyway, today we got a screaming deal!! Sometimes you get deals and sometimes you get duds. This is a real deal yes! Most of you will know that the Fuji X-T1 is an awesome and capable top end camera that produces amazing pics and it usually goes for $1299. For a limited time, you can now get it brand new for $799!! Ho! $500 off plus other savings through our partners. If you ever wanted to get the Fuji X-T1, this is it. Check out this and other Fuji Deals and if you do get one, drop back here and let me know how you liked it. I bet you’ll love it! Thank you very much, I appreciate your support.
