And for Sunday afternoon.... New Conversations by Bill Evans (1978) https://album.link/i/1576791761 Example: Living in the PNW, I don't have to really remember the rain, because it is mostly imminent. This later Bill album is just Pretty. I tend to focus too much on the early work.3 points

Let's talk about Lucy Vincent and Gay Head. The former has a bunch of famous rock formations, which I mostly failed to capture: Approaching minimalism. Nifty 50, 5D IV. A study of the rock formations. 50/5D. iPhone uh 13? with the "Camera+ Legacy" app. I will never like mobile phone camera apps, but Camera+ allows for some taming of the pseudo HDR bullshit Apple does out of the box. It also has a really neat white balance control. (More on that later. Much later.) ibid. The town of Aquinnah, MA was known as Gay Head from 1870 to 1997. The townsfolk elected to change the name to honor the native people who lived there and certainly not for any other reason stop snickering. Aquinnah is famous for its brick lighthouse and brightly colored cliffs. Said cliffs are still called "The Gay Head Cliffs." They're among the most photographed things on MV. All taken with the iPhone/Camera+ app. You can't tell from here, but that guy in the water is naked. It's is not a nude beach. The one feature about SMRT phone cameras that I really like is taking panorama shots. The cliffs and lighthouse seen from the lookout platform in the most touristy area. Fortunately when I was there most stores were closed and it wasn't crowded. The walk from the parking lot to the beach is actually quite long. I took this shot from the start of the jaunt. The building to the left is the <mumble> museum, which was closed. 50/5D. Minimal editing (I am obsessive about having a perfectly flat ocean horizon line.) The view from the lookout platform. 50/5D. Next time: Asparagus in the sky! (AKA asperitas clouds.)2 points

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I was on a boat. That I can confirm, arrived in San Francisco. Where there was a tech conference. Where AI was the buzzword du jour. I left a d-_-b prompt Hidden in plain sight Saw the tech they used to put on the show Call that a camera rig? And saw the filming of a spot, " live to tape" Can you tell the shiny presenters from the guests? I noticed a suspiciously named company, that DoTU, May need to restrain due to prior art. Maybe not. https://voltrondata.com/ Got some swag. And a SF choc ice from their marketing budget. It finished with a nerd party. That made me happy. Funnily enough, no one mentioned recent headlines. (Whatever you do, don't mention the data breach(es)) https://www.wired.com/story/snowflake-breach-advanced-auto-parts-lendingtree/ Saw Collin's San Francisco cousin. Then finished off my trip to the City by the bay by seeing sea lions. Lots of sea lions. Noisy buggers! PXL_20240607_003730227.mp4 All in all, a fun day out.

The sad remnants of Big Brother and the Holding Company, who are apparently town residents. Their singer doesn't have quite the same presence as the original.
