Next to the loch in Fort William was the old fort. #scotland 📷 #yashicamat 🎞️ #kodaktrix 🧪 #xtol #filmphotography #analogphotography #believeinfilm #developyourown #darktable

Who is decorating my @FediTree?

On the downside, my youngest son and his fiance move out in 3 weeks along with their cats :blobsadleft: On the upside, I am reclaiming his room to be a photo and video studio. :awesome:

#FortWilliam was one of the stopovers between #islay and #skye. I could certainly have spent more time there - the loch and the road next to it were beautiful. 📷 #yashicamat 🎞️ #kodaktrix 🧪 #xtol #filmphotography #analogphotography #believeinfilm #developyourown #darktable

Trying to push myself through the last workday this week…sure does seem to draw longer and loooooonger as the afternoon plods on…luckily I have records to listen to. Up now is a #ColemineRecords release. Next - #KendraMorris (2025) Wonderfully soulful. A […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

#Islay is the home to my favorite Whiskies. #Lagavulin tops my list, but #Laphroaig and #Ardbeg are also fantastic! Just across the little bay from Lagavulin is the ruins of Dunyvaig Castle. #Scotland 📷 #YashicaMAT 🎞️ #KodakTriX 🧪 #XTOL #FilmPhotography […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Leaving the Carraig Fhada lighthouse we headed to the Singing Sands beach. I'm not sure why it is called that, but it is beautiful. There are plenty of rocky outcroppings coming up out of the sand, and the water is clear and blue - almost looks like the […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Almost time for bed. The lamps on the timers downstairs have gone off, which means I’m on the last Scotch of the night. Just got this in this week from #ColemineRecords and it’s a great wind down record. The worst that will happen is I will fall asleep in my […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Time for some #Coltrane - an #NC native! Add to that one of my favorite trumpet players - #LeeMorgan. Playing one of only a few #BlueNote #TonePoet issues I have…I love the way they sound, but I don’t know that they sound any better than the Classic Vinyl […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Apropos of nothing… #vinyl #recordcollecting #analog #funk #coleminerecords #45rpm

My #lomography #MCA came in today. I’m excited to give it a try - threw a test roll in it. It’s very solid-feeling and appears to be well made. It has a wonderful combination of automatic and manual features - can shoot full auto or full manual, or aperture […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

My friend Rex is an amazing photographer. Back his upcoming hardcover book, if you like. #photography #photobook #kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcdeco/autumn-harvest-zoe-west-printed-photo-book

Just snagged tickets to see #herbiehancock next May! Super stoked. 5 rows back. #jazz #funk

I’ve had family in town last week and weekend so haven’t been on Mastodon at all…after work today I hope to get back to posting some of my trip pics. In the meantime, here’s a great #Funk spin while working. It’s one of those super floppy thin records that […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

As I’m up irresponsibly late, I should bring this evening to a close. Wrapping up with some #milesdavis and a small pour of Bowmore. #vinyl #recordcollecting #jazz #NowSpinning

RE: https://flx.masto.host/@bosak/112652246026019008 I thought it might be useful for people thinking of getting into #filmphotography to boost a thread that I posted a year and a half ago. What you see is everything I use to process roll film in my kitchen (no darkroom). I should note that the […]

Sometimes, you see your favorite #PinkFloyd album at the record store. Sometimes, it’s only $6. And sometimes, you take it home and look it up on Discogs and it’s a 1977 US first pressing. This is one of those times. I’m over the moon. Pretty sure the store […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

So back in 1944, a German U-Boat Commander named Heinz-Wilhelm Eck did exactly what US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered US military forces to do - kill the survivors of a destroyed boat at sea. Now, as then, this is considered a War Crime. In 1945, Commander Eck was tried, found guilty […]

The “every Blue Note I’ve ever purchased” streak continues. #NowSpinning #grantgreen Solid #vinyl #recordcollecting #jazz

Well this is damn good. #NowSpinning #ChickCorea and #ReturnToForever - Light as a Feather Definitely been on a #Jazz kick lately. Might soon Meshuggah tomorrow, who knows? But this record is fantastic. Another one of last weekend’s acquisitions that I […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

A new-to-me but interesting looking record I snagged, also from the #VoA collection. It’s jazz, with some guitar and synth, or “guitar synthesizer,” whatever that is. It’s too late and I’ve had a few drinks so I don’t even want to look it up, lest I wander […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

This thanksgiving, don’t be a 🐓 and instead show your gratitude by pushing that vide coded mess to production right before closing your computer for the long 4 day weekend. Im super thankful for all of you, which is why I’ll be upgrading mastodon this afternoon right before I head out. Be well […]

We try to avoid pretty much anywhere in public on Black Friday…we hope to head to a rural park later (and I hope to bring the #CrownGraphic) but in the meantime I’m listening to a record I found last weekend. This is from the liquidated #VoiceOfAmerica […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

#bluenote #vinyl is 30% off today, if anyone is interested. Dangerous times! 💸🤑 #recordcollecting #jazz

Box of shitty 50 cent records, a glue gun, and a paint pen…make great dividers! All in it’s about 20 bucks. #vinyl #recordcollecting

#NowSpinning Rare Earth - Willie Remembers (1972) https://album.link/t/76788516 Countdown to the weekend! #vinyl #recordcollecting

Hey friends, I've posted a brief update that should clarify the technical and ethical goals Analog.Cafe will follow going forward: https://www.analog.cafe/comments/3avb I wanted to put it in writing and open up the floor to any comments or suggestions you may have. Thanks so much for your […]

I’m happy with my film pics, but here I am thinking I have roughly 2,000 digital pics from #scotland I still need to cull and edit…I hope to share some of those too. #filmphotography is certainly my concentration; I believe it is the most rewarding, but bringing a digital camera and shooting […]

This is probably only my second or third quote toot. 😜 https://mastoart.social/@elaterite/115573286020884194

These lines, which have a tendency to intensify the design, (giving the proof a very pleasing effect) prevent the roll from slipping while taking-up the relief. #page42

Wowzer. All the state run media is down - X, truthsocial, etc. well, I guess foxnews and NYT are still up, so not ALL the state sponsored media

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

This is my first #drhook - I’ve heard the name but never any of their music, when I saw this for $5 and it looked clean I grabbed it on a whim. 2 songs in and I’m - no pun intended - hooked. Looked them up - they did The Cover of Rolling Stone - never knew! #vinyl #recordcollecting #NowSpinning

Today is my Fediversary here at Pixelfed. It’s been three years since I created my account. I deeply appreciate all the people that I have met through the years. May the Fediverse continue to grow, diversify, and provide a real alternative to the corporate […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

This was an impulse buy this past weekend, I had never heard of it and it was cheap. The description was super interesting - weird Soviet rock? Yes please! It’s…honestly cool as hell. Very 80s, almost to the point of being hilariously so. It's hard to […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Seeing open source and privacy companies having Discord as there support channel feels like a vegan community meeting at a steak house for events.

Party of “family values” and “the word of god” in action. https://hachyderm.io/@ekuber/115554725251457295

Astrophotographer snaps 'absolutely preposterous' photo of skydiver 'falling' past the sun's surface | Live Science This photo is breaking my brain. 🤯 https://www.livescience.com/space/the-sun/astrophotographer-snaps-absolutely-preposterous-photo-of-skydiver-falling-past-the-suns-surface

I don’t know when or how this happened, but I guess this begins the long journey of this camera being “broken in” 🥲

High School Kaiser (not my real name) and College Kaiser are staring in disbelief, jaws dropped as I say this - but I’m pretty excited to go spend a night in the hometown I grew up in. A lot has changed in 20 years, and the Spousal Unit and I have a hotel downtown (small town) so we can walk to […]

Almost done with my workday, almost cocktail hour! 🍸 Rounding out the hour with #theboss #brucespringsteen #vinyl #recordcollecting #NowSpinning

When you think of Phil Collins, what do you think of? Genesis? His solo work? You probably don't think of #BrandX, a jazz fusion band he was in. He was on most of the band's earlier records. This is from 1977, and it’s fantastic. I think I still like their […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I should be going to bed, but I have most of a glass of wine left and want to put off logging on to work tomorrow juuuuuust a bit longer. Time for some #oscarpeterson. Pretty early pressing, but clean - and if you're into xylophone it's great too. #vinyl #recordcollecting #jazz #verve #NowSpinning

This one is new to me, bought it on a whim after reading it was good. Despite not recognizing the name of the song, I immediately know I played the first song on this when I was in high school #Jazz band. I’m a minute in and I’m immediately hooked […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I have not regretted a single #BlueNote LP or CD I've ever bought - new or old. Just wrapped up #DonaldByrd's Royal Flush, just put #DexterGordon's Our Man in Paris on the turntable. These were both new acquisitions this past weekend when I dipped a toe […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Subway More from the 6 line. Pentax 17, Kodacolor 200, ECN-2. I’m amazed at how well the Pentax 17 does in low light. #BelieveInFilm #halfframe
