Spent the day in Castle Rock Park. Possibly saw evidence of the original Ohlone people or aliens or maybe local kids who had seen too many A24 films. Hung out with some down on their luck trucker who waxed poetically (or at least consistently) about their hatred of bugs, the heat, and people taking their photograph. Finally caught the fireworks.

Time to repost this.

^ Glad to see the boat goin’ to make it another year.

Wait, is July Hate Month?

Damn. Took a wrong turn.

Standby. Working on answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll run it by Esmé, but as an American I’ve always been confused by Paddington.

We just keep looping.

Okay, then it's about time for Intentionally Yorgos Lanthimos.

I followed the AWA IG account for a bit, but I'm still confused. Planning out a London trip and see it's everywhere. https://awaexhibition.com/london/ 7+ themed rooms | Wes Anderson's aesthetics | 200+ photos

Are we sure that wasn't one of the comedians?

I came here to complain about the ridiculousness of True Detective: Dark Country, but then saw the season three premiere of The Bear and it's all beautiful and me smiling. Best show on TV.

Anoushka Shankar newest EP, Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn, but also...

Screwing around with the 5D Classic a bit more lately. I have to admit having a somewhat limited dynamic range sensor, no auto-ISO, and a wildly inaccurate matrix metering in some situations (I shot most of this weekend one stop under, often shots at least one stop over), can be a bit challenging. Hey, at least from the modern perspective the shutter speed was on the money. 😉
