Stoic with Flare
I was importing a bunch of photos into Lightroom last night and ran across this one. After a couple minor corrections I’m loving it now.

We had a side-by-side that we brought with us that was much more modern, and had a built in icemaker and water dispenser, henceforth known as the “good” fridge.

Correct it for parallax and print it again. I’d love to see a side-by-side comparison.
