Sorry to hear Todd.

Tim Carpenter’s To Photograph is to Learn How to Die

Happy belated!

While not technically Europe, friend who moved to London a year ago said he and his wife have had no issues with US iPhones, including geolocation. I don’t believe he’s switched over to eSIMs though, so not sure the complications there.

Any predictions on the finale?

An oldie, though I’ve never seen this fun look

Yeah, another attempt at a joke. Near monochrome scene until either someone pissed off another at the artist studios over by the train station, or the drugs took effect. Thankfully one car over, not mine. In other news TTArtisan not long ago released a really cheap (like $200 new, $170 used) tilt (not shift) 50mm f/1.4 FF lens in a variety of mounts. Not sure how likely I’d use for its intended purpose, but been fun this week to experiment with other ones around the house.

Almost on my last trip to San Francisco.

Not only did I take [a few] photos, I took [a few] photos at headphone gatherings. I also got suckered into the Light.io camera. 🤕 Well, basically pulled into all the Valley origin camera companies. Stay strong Foveon! And, I guess, Apple and Google.

An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba in the morning

Nice they added a hidden camera “for profit”.

This.

I think pickleball players keep repeating that.

Hope is a great one.

Wait, there's a third Gallagher?

Second season of Somebody Somewhere here. Also doesn’t disappoint.

Well, we did get an inkling of the something like three years of news coverage on the queen passing. But things are a little different in America where we all rule…

Yeah, that’s fair. The twin stuff isn’t new or brave, though as always allows two approaches to each issue and a protective bond that everything else external competes against. The “women’s issues” (used uncomfortably) are the brave explorations, starting with the shown miscarriage right up front. These are overwhelmingly women’s perspectives (pro and con, at least so far and again used uncomfortably). I’m not sure the creative team is going to put a lot of time and resources into protecting men and positive feelings towards them, but do scenes of conflict with males, and generally they’re between females here, seem unfair?
