I don’t know how much of this is humility, but to me, being concerned with WHAT is right is just how I’m wired. It’s just normal.
I don’t understand those who run from the truth for whatever reason.

My own experience:
I’ve sometimes spoken of the EXTREME JEALOUSY some photographers have of others. They can be full of hate as a result, and can wish evil on other photographers, what I call James-3 cursing. Because that’s what James says not to do in chapter 3 of this Bible book.
Part of this has to do with the “love of money” being the root of all evil. Competition in a field which involves making money can get doggy dog when people aren’t living in the Son, and don’t even try to love their neighbor as themselves — Jesus’ second greatest commandment.

3 Wrong Reasons to pursue Landscape Photography
So the question is…why do you want to become a landscape photographer? If you do it for the wrong reason you are bound to be disillusioned and frustrated in this cut throat world of landscape photography. …
It is ALL about Likes, Tweets and +1s
Landscape photography is becoming highly competitive in this world of social media. Social media feeds on the LOOK AT ME! factor; this means that many landscape photographers are after as many tweets, likes, and +1s as they get on their favorite social media network. Over the years, I have known photographers who create fake accounts just to criticize other photographers or to boost their own work.
I’ve long been earnestly trying to figure out why most run away from the truth, since I’m not wired that way at all. I think John B. Wells’ guest nails it. People are running away from their Conscience — with dire consequence!

Freedom quote transcribed by Jeff Fenske from Caravan to Midnight, Ep. 487 – 3-11-16
Joe Plummer comes aboard with admonitions for preserving national sovereignty.
* * *
John B. Wells:
“What turned you into an activist? … What was the aha moment?”
Joe Plummer [not: ‘Joe the Plumber’]
“It’s an issue of refusing to ignore your conscience. And some people seem to have that problem….
When you see something that is so inexcusably illegitimate and wrong, something in you won’t allow you to let it go, so you fight it [what is wrong].
I, like most people, had been raised under the assumption that government was legitimate, that it impeded predatory behavior, and was there to serve our interests. And once I started to realize that it was the most atrocious lie I had ever been told I became initially pretty angry, and then at some point I realized I was only poisoning myself with that anger. So I tried to take a more balanced view of all of it. But at the same time, still, the drive to fight it is just irresistible, because I can’t imagine anything else.
If I were to just try to accept that what we have is all there is going to be and live with it I’d have to kill part of who I am.”
John B.:
“In closing, Joseph, what is your message to the world?”
Joe:
“Obey your conscience.”

US National Weather Service Alaska
9/30/15
The official September precipitation numbers are in! If you thought this month was rainier than normal in Anchorage, you’d be right. September 2015 is officially the wettest September on record for Anchorage. The new monthly record of 7.71″ replaces the previous record of 7.61″ that was set in 2004. The average September precipitation is 2.99″.
With an annual total of 15.01″, more than half of this year’s precipitation so far has fallen in September alone.
This is also the third wettest month in Anchorage since records began, with only August 1989 (9.77″) and August 1997 (8.37″) experiencing more precipitation.
This week’s storm dropped an official total of 2.8″ of snow at the airport. That accounts for all of this month’s snowfall and makes this September the fourth snowiest September on record.
Another article that I found two days later, after it had rained 14 days in a row. The chart shows how I got spoiled, photographing the fall colors in 2011:
Stubborn weather system pummels Anchorage with rainfall
September 15, 2015
A wet Tuesday in Anchorage marked the 12th day in a row that the city has seen measurable rainfall, with more precipitation on the way, according to the National Weather Service. The rain has pounded Alaska’s largest city and has already surpassed the monthly rainfall average for September — and is expected to continue for at least another week.
On average, the NWS says, Anchorage sees 2.99 inches of rain during the month of September.
“Now, (on Sept. 15) we’re at 3.27 inches and raining very hard,” National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Wegman said around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
This is the fourth consecutive year Anchorage has seen higher-than-average rainfall totals.
It’s raining in #Anchorage! Here’s how this Sept. stacks up against other years. Check out your latest 4cast. #AKwx
Maybe this is a key part of the problem.
Maybe spiritually too. Many like their “familiar spirits” — internal demons that are successfully leading many (including ‘Christians’) to rebel against God, instead of loving the Lord, our God, with ALL OF OUR HEART, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbors (including *our enemies*) as ourselves — Jesus’ Greatest Two Commandments.

I’m glad this deer TOTALLY gets FREE! My concern would be the deer would pull himself/herself away before the job was done. Looks like the deer was cut badly, trying to free him/herself.
I was thinking about this video this morning, while praying specifically for a number of people. Many are BOUND by actual demons, and praying in the Spirit for people can help FREE them.
And many wish (pray/James-3 curse) that people would be against people, which happens to me many times every day. When we pray for the bullies the people they have cursed get FREE!!! I believe this could be easily clinically proven someday.
I’ve been praying in the Spirit for people since the early ‘80s.
One of the great deceptions in these last days is the widespread ignoring of the effect that demons have on people, which is totally unlike what was taught and practiced in the New Testament. The result is that most Christians now have many demons in them, affecting them directly, even making people sick and lethargic, which I prove can happen here:
Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
I believe that’s why Paul prayed in tongues more than anyone, to get FREE. He was a point man who was James-3 cursed a lot. This prophecy partially describes what’s going on and ways to get free:
Getting right with those we’ve hurt can FREE us from guilt and condemnation too. This is an important video in many ways. I’ve been pushing for a permanent Asbury to happen, ONE can happen, perhaps starting here in Anchorage, once key people get right with those they’ve hurt — especially one key person, who seems to be holding up this FREEDOM fest. I don’t know what he’s waiting for. I’d be scared to death to die with guilt on my conscience.
Jesus said we need to reconcile (Mt. 5 & Jn. 17). Paul did it (Acts 24:16):
“Herein I also practice *always* having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” (Acts 24:16)
Our consciences must be clean when we see Jesus face to FACE!:
Imagine what a permanent Asbury would be like. Awesome video here!:
To Be FREE!!!!!!!

I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND why ‘Christians’ who hurt people still refuse to reconcile, even at age-90, DICK — when people we know need to get healed! Why are you holding out? Why?!! Fear God, not man.
We all must be right with God and people when we see Jesus face to FACE, LIKE PAUL WAS:
“Herein I also practice *ALWAYS* having a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENSE toward God and men” (Acts 24:16).
I’ve been crying at times, thinking about Glen, watching some of these videos. Glen needs to get physically healed! So many need to get healed!!
And ALL people deserve the right TO SEE THE REAL THING, ‘ONE’ happen — God’s glory among us — Jesus’ heart-cry for us in John 17 — before they die!

This is about 1/2 mile from our house. So special!!! I loved the loons we encountered, canoeing in the boundary waters in Minnesota in the ’70s! Link to the 24/7 cam is in the article. – – From: ktva.com
Live Alaska loon cam up and running at Connor’s Lake
A live streaming webcam is offering an intimate look at Mother Nature [correction: “our Heavenly Father’s creation”]. The camera is trained on a pair of nesting loons at Connor’s Lake in West Anchorage. …
“In the past you could never get close enough to see anything or else you’d disturb them,” [Jean] Tam said. “But with the camera they don’t care. They don’t know you are watching them, so you can see a lot of detail you normally wouldn’t know about.”
Tam says the female loon appears to be the same one that came to nest on a man-made floating island in the center of the lake last year. Unfortunately, the eggs she laid never hatched. This year there are two new eggs and Tam is feeling optimistic.
“Watching the chicks hatch is exciting because you can see them pecking their way out of the shells. Both of them usually hatch within a day or two of each other,” Tam said.
Tam says if her math is correct the eggs should hatch right around June 30. Viewers will be able to see it all — the loon cam is operating 24-7.

‘You’re being cheated.’ David Crosby might hate MP3s even more than Neil Young does
..all of us — and it’s not just Neil [Young]; Neil’s sort of a fanatic about it — but all of us hate MP3s because they deliver only 15 percent, maybe, at best, of the music that we made.
..we go to a great deal of trouble to try and really get the information from the guitar, from the keyboard, and from the voice, so that the overtone structures are there — so that the magic is there.
..if you get an acoustic guitar tuned really right by ear — not by machine — then there are harmonic structures, overtones. There are notes in the overtones that are not being played on the guitar. They’re created by the interaction of the other note.
The same thing is true of vocal stacks, if you do them well enough. ..you can hear them on the vinyl, plainly. …
Second thing is, the MP3 format doesn’t handle transients very well. But I think the biggest loss is in texture and the overtone thing. When Neil started in on it, I hadn’t really thought about it, and I wasn’t really paying attention; I was kind of distracted…. You may think he’s crazy; I know some people do. But I think we should be working in high-res all the time. I don’t even think there should be MP3.
This is a heavy album with some heavy language (some might even consider it blasphemy), but I’ve always liked it a lot. It contains powerful, profound truths — and is clearly meant to deliver hearts from the madness that is locking many into the Matrix!
I remember listening to it during one of my 2-hour, late night prayer walks while attending seminary the second time, north of Chicago.

A little movie review:
I’ve been watching a lot of golf for the first time in my life, starting with the PGA tournament at Torrey Pines in early February (partly to see the paragliders — and the got hooked!). My mom loves to watch probably as much! The colors are so vivid on our new widescreen TV, which helps a lot — especially towards the end of another long Alaskan winter!
I played golf with my friend Steve during our University of Minnesota days, after high school — but haven’t since.
And I just watched this movie too, which was mostly delightful, and based on a true story; though, Disney made the father the bad guy, as they often do, or they present the father as a wimp. Disney is definitely pushing an anti-family agenda.
The Walt Disney Picture The Greatest Game Ever Played is the story of Francis Ouimet, a young man who is invited to compete in the 1913 US Open Golf Tournament despite his poor socio-economic. (source)
The young lady Francis is understandably stunned by wasn’t in the original story either; though, this probably does enhance the movie.
What is true and unexpected (and delightful in the movie!!) is that Francis’ caddy, Eddie was only 10-years-old, and they stayed lifelong friends. In the movie, however, Francis’ original caddy is bought off by one of the pros. But in real life, he was Eddie’s older brother, and was caught skipping school. So Eddie took his place, because he was somehow more successful in skipping school.
Trailer: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv6FZMeA2Mw]

Eddie Lowery’s Golf Life & Career: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ABxotSX0_E]
Summary:
Delightful and inspiring movie that I would have given 4 stars had Disney not demonized the dad.
Shia Labouf was impressive, and his young caddy delightful (reminds me of smaller Patrick Reed, whom I was rooting on to win the Honda Classic in Palm Beach, a few weeks ago)!

UPDATED 3/11/15 — after finding an email I wrote in May of 2006, in which I shared my exact measurements
Scroll down for video
– –
Just because the official 9/11 story has been proven false (see articles linked below) doesn’t mean a 757 did not hit the Pentagon. Many thought the incoming object in the surveillance footage was too small to be a 757, and loudly claimed it was a missile instead. My findings refute that, as well as:
When the Pentagon security camera footage was released in 2006, I had a higher resolution copy on our digital TV cable box, which I recorded from Democracy Now (online footage at minute-7:25 isn’t as clear). I measured the fuselage diameter and the height of the building with a ruler, and then compared these numbers with the known numbers of the building height and the forward portion of a 757 fuselage, using cross multiplication: replacing one of numbers on the right with ‘x’, and then comparing. It’s easy to do, especially with a wide-screen TV and better quality video, which I no longer have.
The Pentagon height is easy to find: 77 feet 3.5 inches (source)
But the 757 fuselage height is harder to find. In 2006, I thought the fuselage in front of the wing was 12 feet. But the only number I can find today is 13′ 2″ (source). No distinction is made between the forward and aft section, which is clearly taller, and it’s the forward section I measured in the video (the only part visible in the frame). So the forward fuselage height is probably 12″, but may be 13′ 2″.
This is simple cross multiplication formula I used:
known Pentagon ht. ft. v. TV Pentagon in. known Pentagon ht. ft v. TV Pentagon in.
known 757 diameter ft. v. TV projectile in. X v. TV projectile in.
My measurements put the diameter of the incoming object we see here at minute-1:26 to be 9.63 feet, a little more than 2 feet less than the known diameter of the forward portion of a 757 fuselage (using the 12′ number), which was close enough for me, because it was hard to judge where the impact really was, which is where I measured the height of the Pentagon with a ruler.
I said in my email that:
“the object in the photo is at least (probably more, because I chose the closest possible impact point) 10 feet….”
On our TV, the plane measures about 3/8 inch high, while the building measures about 3 inches; though, I’m not sure where the point of impact actually was. It could have been where the building would measure even 2.5 inches or so.
I remember measuring behind the helicopter pad, but not far behind. If I put the 2.5 inch figure into the equation instead of 3 inches, the result is 11.55 feet, which is really close to the known 12 foot number [and even the 13′ 2″ number, if that is the correct height of the forward fuselage].
77 v. 3 or 77 v. 3
x v. .375 x v. .375
Cross multiplied, the results are 9.63 and 11.55 feet, respectively.
Many who have seen this video surmised that this object is far too small to be a 757, but that’s because this is shot with a wide angle lens which makes distant objects appear smaller than they really are, including the height of the Pentagon in the distance, as it radically tapers off in size.
My conclusion was that this footage shows an object the size of a large jet did hit the Pentagon. Of course, the video could have been doctored, but the Democracy Now TV image on our wide screen TV was clear enough to pretty easily measure. Many theorized that this object was far too small to be a 757, but it really isn’t. Many said this was a missile, but it’s way too large. A Tomahawk missile is only 20.4 inches in diameter, less than 2 feet!
The official story on 9/11 has been proven to be a fraud and an inside job (see my links below), but that doesn’t mean that planes didn’t hit these buildings, except for Building 7. It’s very possible they weren’t the American and United Airlines planes claimed, though.
If anyone knows of a higher res video or really clear still I’m interested. Some I’ve seen online look like the plane has been removed. The object was easily seen in the Democracy Now TV video, similar to what we see here, but clearer.
* * *
More of my 2006 email:
There are other reasons why I think a 757 hit the Pentagon, but the main one I’d like to share here is what I discovered by taking some measurements of the footage that Democracy Now recently aired; therefore, I was able to check it out on my widescreen TV. I’ll send you some of the things I sent Joel, this morning, which I think proves that what we see in this video is much larger than a missile or a Global Hawk, and is consistent with the size of a 757 fuselage.
This is kind of a hodgepodge, but the bottom line is that the diameter of the plane can be determined by measuring the height of the building at the point of impact and measuring the object (plane or missile). Because we know the building is 77 feet high, the diameter of the aircraft can also be determined, which is just about exactly the 12 feet that a 757 is. […]
On our TV, the plane measures about 3/8 inch high, while the building measures about 3 inches; though, I’m not sure where the point of impact actually was. It could have been where the building would measure even 2.5 inches or so. […]
This is the equation I used to determine the object in the photo is at least (probably more, because I chose the closest possible impact point) 10 feet in diameter, just two feet smaller than a 757.
Pentagon height (77 feet) / height of plane (unknown) = 3 inch TV measurement) / .375 inches TV measurement
77 times .375, divided by 3 equals 10 feet

All of my 9/11 truth posts in reverse chronological order (latest posts appear first, 10 posts per page)
Very interesting — satellite imagery tracks the stuck jet stream! And the word is getting out.
A guy at the gym, here in Anchorage AK, even mentioned to me that he heard on *local* AM radio a guy talking about how the jet stream is being manipulated, which is what I’ve been thinking for a few years now. I had just asked him what he thought about the weather. Another guy in the gym mentioned manmade weather modification when I asked about the weather a few days ago, which I normally haven’t mentioned much. This winter dry and warm spell has been very strange, so I thought I’d ask a few what they thought.
This could also cause drought in CA.
What is the purpose? To melt the arctic ice is my current theory? Then they can claim the polar bears really are effected, and the global carbon tax can be implemented; even though, the planet is not really warming overall, according to the real temp stats (only about 1/100 of a degree change). Because some areas are much colder, which is obvious to many in the lower-48.
He mentions sea-based SBX HAARPs. Today is the first I’ve heard of these being able to superheat the ionosphere like the land-based HAARPs. I’d like more verification, but Nick Begich has talked about how HAARP in Alaska can change the jet stream.
The producer of this video also says chemtrails (especially to the west of California) keep low pressures from being able to form.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZJA39cm15U]Extreme Cold in USA, Melting Arctic Methane, on 01 08 2015
Published on Jan 8, 2015
The exact, same “Polar Vortex” Pacific jetstream pattern has been deliberately held in place, as shown in the previous video, December 30, 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQ-O…
There has been no change in the eastern Pacific weather pattern for three weeks. This is causing extreme cold weather in the USA, and extreme warm weather in Siberia, and Alaska.
The temperature in Dallas, Texas, is the SAME as the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, on January 8, 2014. (link: http://www.weatherforecastmap.com/rus…)
The shallow Arctic sea, where the “doomsday” Arctic methane is located, is being deliberately kept warm, by this manmade “Polar Vortex” weather control operation. This will prevent thick ice from forming, over the winter, so there will be rapid melting of the shallow sediments, in the summertime.
This is proof of planetary genocide, and whoever is participating in these weather control programs, must be found, arrested, and put on trial.
If the Arctic Methane vents, the greenhouse gas level, will increase by HUNDREDS of times, turning planet Earth into a broiler oven, in just a few decades.
The uncontrolled venting of methane, from the shallow Arctic ocean, has already started, and is accelerating every year. It is acclerating because of THIS eastern Pacific, secret weather warfare program.
The program managers are going to great lengths, to make sure, Washington DC, has extreme cold, while the new Congress is seated.
This cold weather will change the political climate, to make it impossible to promote any “carbon free” energy sources, and to convince Congress, that an “ice age” is coming. The new congress will be lobbied, and told that the fossil fuel industries need more tax breaks, subsidies, and government contracts. The real situation is that 2014 was the hottest year on record: http://www.scientificamerican.com/art…
This 1 degree F, increase, since 1975, is just the beginning. We are about to see the “hockey stick” of vertical temperature increase, due to the melting of the shallow (150 feet deep) East Siberian Arctic Shelf, exactly where the manmade warm spot is shown in this video. Methane is 20 to 100 times more powerful, than carbon dioxide, in heating the planet.
Folks, we are being “set up” to go extinct!
All measures must be taken, to stop the Pacific weather warfare program, before the Earth’s climate is pushed past the “tipping point”, of unstoppable methane release.
Please forward, thank you.
UPDATE 1-10-15: Unbelievable! Only 48 hours after uploading this video, the US Navy SBX-type ionospheric heaters have stopped re-building the stationary Pacific high pressure!!! Link:http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/geo/ind…
UPDATE 1-11-15: The “Polar Vortex” over the USA, is disappearing, since the Pacific jetstream is back to normal: http://squall.sfsu.edu/gif/jetstream_…

This almost makes me cry. I had the great pleasure of being able to photograph these amazing creatures in southern Oregon at a friend’s house — and made a print of one of the images — which is hanging on the wall in front of me!

Published on Sep 22, 2014
Hummingbirds. Even though they are the smallest birds on earth, and the smallest of all warm-blooded creatures, they can still fly over 30 MPH, fly backward, and at birth, weigh less than a post-it note!
These amazing creatures flap their wings up to 80 times a SECOND, allowing them to hover over flowers filled with nectar.
They are able to determine sugar content, and only consume nectar that is at least 10% sugar. Less than that could not sustain their super-fast metabolism, with their heartbeat of around 1200 times a minute!
With this in mind, hummingbirds typically would not be able to survive a long cold night. HOWEVER, they “happen” to have a built-in mechanism called “Torpor” that goes into effect as they sleep, shutting down their metabolism to 1/15th the normal rate. It effectively slows down their heart rate from around 1,200 beats per minute… to 35 beats per minute.
Did this tiny creature evolve by chance? Or was he intricately designed and formed with purpose? Such beauty is often overlooked in today’s society, but if we only stop to consider the intricate details of a hummingbird, we can appreciate God’s infinite “wonders without number”.

I was a psych major for about a year during my three years in the ’70s at the University of Minnesota. I discovered how sick and disjointed their version of psychology was. It made no sense to me, and I couldn’t figure out why it was so perverted. This video explains much of the reason why.
Ted Pike has shown how Judaism is largely based on the Talmud and Kabbalah, which is filthy and racial supremacist. Jesus warned:
This is at the heart of what’s destroying America. We’re bringing this filth into our homes through TalmudVision, and we’ve learned it in school. It’s important to get a handle on this very important principle.
It comes from Satan’s hatred of Christ. The Illuminati want to destroy US in order to dominate the world — a key goal in the Talmud:
Ted Pike: The Jewish Kabbalah – Root of Mideast Violence — Kabbalah’s description of Gentiles as ANIMALS who must be slaughtered before “ORDER” can be restored helps explain not only Israel’s notorious MISTREATMENT of her Arab neighbors but also JEWISH POWER worldwide in *government*, *finance*, and *media*!
Demonic forces are behind this, and drive porn, hatred and greed. The Jews are getting deceived and destroyed too!
Nobody is happy, unless we’re porn free!

Uploaded on Nov 14, 2010
Sigmund Freud is credited as being the father of the Sexual Revolution. He [stated] that he found sexual morality “contemptible.” In fact Freud was a Jewish supremacist and Stalwart Zionist who saw himself like Hannibal conquering Rome, (Rome signifying the Church and European morality). This video show how the Jewish dominated media has promoted a destruction of higher human values. It shows from mainstream Jewish sources how resentment against Europeans and Christians is a motivating factor in promoting sexual degeneration and even pornography.

Lately again, I’ve been fairly actively involved in forum discussions at DPReview, posting these comments. For some reason, aspect ratios are important to me — the shape of the rectangle or square. Most cameras only work best in one aspect ratio. I was thrilled to see Panasonic continue their multi-aspect ratio feature in this camera. This is some of what I’ve learned.
Panasonic is releasing its latest compact camera in the LX series, the LX100, that also has their multi-aspect ratio feature, introduced in the LX3 in 2008, which I tremendously enjoyed in the LX5.
The LX100 uses the huge M43 sensor from their GX7 camera. In the video below, Gordon Laing briefly explains what Panasonic has done, including some of the drawbacks and advantages at minute-5.
The huge advantage of the multi-aspect ratio sensor is that at 24mm, the LX cameras maintain true 24mm field of view diagonally in the 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios! In comparison, the Sony RX100 series camera loses field of view in the 4:3 and 16:9 ratios, so getting a true 24mm wide is impossible, except in 3:2. Having been shooting with the RX100 for a few years now, I greatly miss this feature.
This article points out how fun this is for 16:9 at 24mm:
Panasonic going down with a fight: the new LX100
At 24 mm-e, the 16:9 aspect ratio of the LX3 has the same horizontal angle of view as a 22.8 mm-e lens on a 3:2 aspect ratio sensor (or 135-format film). That’s seriously wide for a compact camera with a zoom lens. The LX100 retains this fun feature.
I discovered this anomaly. Like with the LX7, Panasonic used a 4:3 ratio sensor, instead of the ideal sized 3:2 sensor, so the 16MP sensor is a bit too tall for maximum efficient use of its pixels, so it loses more megapixels with their multi-aspect ratio tweak, which results in only 12+ MPs, much lower than the 20MP 1-inch sensor competition.
Panasonic’s aspect-ratio madness
Now the LX7 has an off-the-shelf 1/1.7″-type sensor (PDF) like the rest, but it uniquely treats that sensor as ‘oversized’ (the image circle never fills the sensor). The result is that the active sensor area in the LX7 is noticeably smaller than direct competitors, never mind the likes of the Sony RX100 with its 1″-type sensor.
What’s more, instead of having a sensor of the ideal ~3:2 aspect ratio, the LX7 sensor has the usual 4:3 aspect ratio. That means more of the sensor area is never used. And that’s why the difference between the ‘total megapixels’ and the ‘effective megapixels’ has risen compared the LX5: those figures are now 12.7 and 10.1 (compared to 11.3 and 10.1 in the LX5).
The LX100 is large, and only zooms to 75mm. That and with only 12+ MP makes it less than compelling, unless the image quality ends up being superb because of the lens — results aren’t out yet.
The bigger pixels of this sensor will probably make it the low light champion in a camera of this size.
THE ULTIMATE COMPACT
I’d prefer to see a multi-aspect ratio camera designed from the smaller pixels that the Sony 1-inch sensor has, or an oversized 1-inch sensor version. Panasonic could do this in the LX8, if they still have plans for it.
If the current 1-inch 3:2 sensor was used in a multi-aspect ratio design, a 3MP or so loss in pixels would result, but the smaller image circle wouldn’t stretch the limits of the small lens so much (like the G7X*), and greater image quality could result, or even greater zoom range if the lens were made larger (the RX100 III only zooms to 70mm). It still could be smaller than the LX100 and have superb image quality.
*It’s too soon to see if the G7X has sacrificed image quality in order to get the very useful 24-100mm zoom range in a 1-inch sensor camera of this small size. Gordon discusses the G7X at minute-43 in this video.
The ultimate would be made with an OVERSIZED version of the 1-inch sensor, so it wouldn’t take a MP hit in the 3:2 format, and would gain MPs in 16:9 and 4:3, and allow the same aspect ratio diagonally in 16:9 and 4:3 as in 3:2.
THE SUPREME ULTIMATE
I can’t understand why this hasn’t happened yet.
My passion is for all mirrorless cameras, including full frame to have either ROUND sensors that capture everything the lens throws into the camera (the sensor would be the same size as the image circle), or an OVERSIZED SQUARE sensor, which would be just as wide as Panasonic’s multi-aspect, but taller, so that 1:1 would also completely fit into the image circle, and would also not lose pixels or field of view. An oversized square sensor has many other advantages too, especially for tripod mounted cameras, discussed here:
Square sensors for mirrorfree cameras
Up With Squares! More on Square Sensor Cameras
THE GOLDEN RATIO (also called the golden mean)
1.618:1 has been known for 2000 years to be the most pleasing rectangular shape, but no camera offers this ratio. Panasonic could add it to their ratio options without hardly any extra cost. One photographer suggested 3:2 is close enough, but to me, 3:2 looks like a fat golden mean, not close enough at all.
The golden mean wouldn’t always be the preferred ratio, because the subject often determines the best ratio, but it could prove to be more preferable than 3:2 in many situations, if camera companies would only give us this option. It’s difficult to shoot in the golden ratio currently, because we would only be guessing where the borders are.
I’ve been saying: “THINK OUTSIDE THE (SLR mirror) BOX,” now that mirrorless cameras are no longer so limited. We may as well use the entire image circle with sensors big enough to capture all that the lens sees.
This is even more important in full frame, interchangeable lens cameras in which lenses are big and heavy. Why are we only capturing the 3:2 horizontal strip, and not what’s above, below and on the sides?
It makes no sense. Camera companies are stifling artistic creativity, big-time!
The LX100 is apparently the first compact to sport 4K video. Gordon explains in the video at minute-7 two advantages of shooting in 4K that many don’t realize.

Doug Kaye at minute-32:15:
“As much as I like the LX100, I really don’t know why someone would buy that over the Sony (RX100 Mark III), and spend the extra $100, unless they wanted that questionable 4K video. It’s bigger. It’s more expensive. The image quality of both cameras are excellent. The controls are better on the Lumix. Menus are better on the Lumix. But I would much rather have one that I could put in a pocket.”

Matt Frazer, Panasonic rep says:
“This is the successor to the LX7, which is frankly a series of cameras that has been very successful for Panasonic. And we decided to take the camera in a direction where it gets a little bit bigger….”
Also: the lens has 5 “all glass” aspheric lenses with 8 aspheric surfaces, with two of them ED glass. And their new milling technique gets rid of the ‘onion rings’ in the bokeh balls.
I just wrote this on my Facebook page:
At minute 7, this is a taste of JESUS’ GREAT HEART-CRY for His people who are so far from Him, doing their own thing — and are not only approaching disaster on Earth, but for all eternity too — unless we get right with each other and Jesus now, before it’s too late.
I experienced this in an elder’s meeting at Abbott Loop in the late ’90s. JESUS IS GRIEVED by what has happened, and the lack of willingness to repent!
Josh prayed a prayer, mentioning reconciliation, and this horrible agony came over me in which I cried out in this great pain that Jesus’ shared with me!!!
Carter got up and put his hand on my shoulder….
Many of the elders may not have know where that came from, but Jesus was sharing how He feels because of the lives slain at Abbott Loop, and the leaders act like everything is okay — trying to cover up!
He wants His people….
Jesus’ heart is really, REALLY AGONIZING!
What Gary Clark Jr. expresses through his guitar here is just a taste of THE AGONY JESUS FEELS right now.
Most don’t realize.
REALLY serious!!!
And we can do something about this — and turn this thing around!
‘ONE’ will happen, “that the world will know” (Jesus’ heart-cry in John 17)! And we’ll be FREE for the world to SEE!!!!!!!

Jesus’ Heart-Cry: Let Us Be One
Let us be one. My cry is out to you to come near. I want My people, please? May we be one. I need you to pray, to fall on your face and not give up. Press in, overcome temptation. Be not afraid to obey. I will give you life, all those who follow. You will not faint. You will grow strong when you give up the ghosts that hold you back, the sins of iniquity.
Feel My hurt. It is great. My people have vanished from My life. I am sad, and you are lonely. There are few that remain close to Me where I can nourish their souls.
In Me there is life. There is no other way. I in you; you in Me, where we belong—together. Let us be one, together in love, where we can pray, enveloping each other in goodness. We can do that. It’s not all one way. I am life. There is no other to follow. We can be friends. I will lead, but I will receive as you repent and draw close to Me. For I love My people. I love to pray. I intercede for the saints to bring them pleasure. We can be one. We can be close, you and I.
There is a place of holiness, where you will always be at My feet, a place of blessing. Let it come. Let it envelop you. Let it take over your pride.
Come, My people. Let us rest. Follow no other. I am your place of security, where power dwells, power to overcome sin, pride and temptation. I have life to give.
You are My friend. Get up and be counted among the sheep. For there is error. Life has ceased for a reason. The church is dirty, a place of filth. It is not My home. How can I dwell among an unclean people who hurt each other, who tell each other stories, who hurt from the heart those that care?

Dr. Stan was ONE OF THE GREATEST TRUTH TELLERS OF ALL TIME!!!
I felt badly that he wasn’t given more credit and air time by those who had a bigger platform. His real-history perspective was badly needed. And he understood there are dark, spiritual forces behind the globalists’ agenda.
I got to know Dr. Stan personally when Barbara invited us to visit with them in their home during a Radio Liberty conference:
At the Monteith’s (Photo of Mom and me with Dr. Stan and Barbara at their home in 2004)
In his living room, I was able to share with him what I had learned about what the Bible really says about who goes to heaven. Soon afterward, Dr. Stan posted this on his site:
BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT (Matthew 5:48): Thirty-eight Sermonettes on SIN, SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS
Thank you, Dr. Stan for all you’ve done to help so many, most of whom didn’t want to hear. He did five hours of radio per day anyway, trying to reach as many as possible, even up until the end. In 2004, I suggested that he might do less hours per day, but he said, “no, no….” He interviewed Joel Skousen for the last time on 9/18/14. Joel has long been a weekly guest for many years, which I almost always listened to, and often reported on at ToBeFree.
It’s sad to see that you’ve passed before seeing spiritual revival come, which is what we needed to significantly enough change America, while we still had the chance.

Dr. Stanley Monteith, Host of Radio Liberty, Passes Away at 85
Dr. Stan was one of the first, if not the first, to expose globalism
Prison Planet.com
September 29, 2014
Dr. Stanley Monteith, the nationally syndicated radio host and author who spent nearly 50 years exposing the globalist agenda, paving the way for many patriots to do the same, passed away this morning at the age of 85.
For many decades, Dr. Monteith blazed the trail for liberty radio and his tireless work revolutionized the liberty movement.
“Dr. Stan,” as he was known, served on the front lines warning of the spiritual battle taking place between good and evil and did tremendous work in exposing the vast network of secret societies and mysterious forces behind the men who make up the “Brotherhood of Darkness.” He was also a pioneer in warning about the dangers of fluoride, vaccines and America’s fiat Federal Reserve currency.
Dr. Monteith was also a good friend and a source of inspiration for Alex Jones.
“He was one of those people who was always at the epicenter of good change, defending liberty and battling tyranny,” Jones said today. “He did it absolutely with a servant’s heart and that’s what mattered.”
The classic introduction of Dr. Stan’s radio show, Radio Liberty, galvanized listeners into actively searching for the real truth rather than accepting the false explanations of the world around them without question.
“Well, Dr. Stan here at the Genesis Communication Network. Coming to you from the hills overlooking beautiful and picturesque Monterey Bay and bringing you the news behind the news, the story behind the story. Hoping to convince you that reality is usually scoffed at and that illusion is usually king, but in the battle for survival for western civilization it’s going to be reality and not illusion or delusion that will determine what the future will bring.”
From the entire Infowars staff, our condolences go out to Dr. Monteith’s family. May he rest in peace.
