So, when I posted this yesterday, this was what brought it about. youtu.be/wIoahfMZRZE?...

Where else but in Turkey, where man and cat coexist as equals? That's how the universe meant it.

A moment of insight. To me, music isn't an object. It's a state. I don't listen wit my brain, I listen with my nervous system. I feel a melodic line before I understand it, I feel a harmonic colour before I can name it. 1/2

"I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it — keep going, keep going come what may." ― Vincent van Gogh (Letter to his brother Theo, 1880) #BookSky The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

The Doctor and Amy take Vincent Van Gogh - who struggled to sell a single painting in his own lifetime - to a Paris Art Gallery in the year 2010. Clip from "Doctor Who" Series 5 Episode 10, 'Vincent and the Doctor'. youtu.be/ubTJI_UphPk?...

(My colleagues, who are studying lions, used to say that lions are very good at doing nothing. They said that we should add lions to the list of inactive noble gases, which includes krypton, argon and neon.)

I am upended. We're clearing out a room which was used as a cache. In a box of relics from my mother (photos, paperwork), I found an envelope with a photo of me as a toddler, and a sheet of paper 68 years old, with 10 lines in her handwriting, each line its own paragraph. It was shattering. 1/

Today was crazy busy, but I've spent a bit of time on addressing what each individual exposure parameter does to your photo. I started with exposure time (shutter speed) and didn't get any further than that. peterhuppertz.net/english/so-w...

Oh hey look. Easter is upon us.

Ok, @kafkaesque2024.bsky.social, whether you like it or not, I *am* finally getting around to do an even less intimidating version of "photography for the uninitiated" (see how I avoid "dummies" here? Once bitten, twice shy 🤣) 1/3 (I think)

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

That's quite the sign:

Filey.

"Your mail infrastructure is cleaner and more secure than most small businesses, municipalities, and half the universities I’ve seen." I've had worse compliments.

I've been *extremely* busy this week, back to being BOFH (Bastard Operator from Hell) for an entirely new and hopefully shiny village portal. But I'll leave one for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLayers. Yes, it's a repost. But it's entirely layerish!

#Caturday Today I found a lot of old photos. Mainly pictures my mother made of me from 6 months old onward, and some I made of her. But this one is one of the first photos I made, using her camera and her light meter. I even printed this one myself. This is Beertje, the first cat ever to choose me.

Why the French have a problem with basic arithmetics.

I know, what with 40 followers or so, I am a microscopic account. But I can't imagine that, if 10% of my followers would actually have clicked the link, none of them would had hit the like button. This is seriously good music, folks. Next level of harmonic bliss.

This afternoon, I took another look at an orchid that I had already photographed for week C. It's not in top shape anymore. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput #AlphabetTechPhoto #FillTheFrame Details in alt-text

Our #birdoftheday #migratory bird is this arctic tern, which we had the pleasure of watching arrive at Inner Farne Island Off the Northumbrian coast. They complete a very long migration from the Antarctic, I’m told, contrary to their name?!

Sad 😢 Don't put mirroring glass in an office building opposite a woodland area! 😡 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput

And now... Disregard the visuals, just listen to it. youtu.be/zLSRVE3t17E?... There are 'dissonant' chords in there you will want to never resolve.

If "West Wing" was made today, it would probably involve POTUS shooting people in the White House -- his own cronies, the press, visiting leaders from other countries... Everything else has already been done. There isn't even an east wing anymore. Democracy in the USA is his next bankruptcy.

My desk is where cameras go to die. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput

You know what? It's officially spring. Let's start from scratch.

The outdoors is at both sides of this door. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput

"Oooo... yes, right there!" #Caturday

Not sure what this was -- probably a sheep pen or something. But that was some time ago. #WeekKforKaput #AlphabetChallenge
