What the hell is going on in the Indianapolis regional USPS facility? This package went Columbus OH to Indy then jetted over to Pittsburgh so it could saunter back to Indy. At least it stayed on the mainland…

So happy to be reunited with my Egg! Pork shoulder smoking away.

When all spreadsheets are destined to be cursed, one really has to wonder if it's not the software itself that's haunted. Like a dollhouse built on an ancient burial ground.

Our Red Maple has started to bud. Or it is a portal to an eldritch domain. Check back later this week to find out which!

I was gifted Tartine No. 3 past Christmas, so have been expanding my flour portfolio. Einkorn is pretty good, if mild. The flour smells odd but the fermenting dough smells lovely.

playing train conductor and tidying up the platform is like the first five hours of Half Life 2

🔥 There's a very niche opportunity for someone to produce a modern mirrorless camera with a sweet analog display to get all the (camera)x(watch) nerds to throw their money at. maybe a Ricoh GR x Grand Seiko? Not that I could afford it…

This is the cybersecurity approach to safety: the safest park is the one nobody can (or wants to) use.

Latest roll of film back, some really gnarly light leak artifacts on nearly every photo. Some usable and interesting shots, which I'll post later. First a not great one; that line appears on a number of frames, curious to hear theories if you have any explanation? Olympus Pen D • Kentmere 400

This is a cool photo—Comfort, Mercy, and the rotting SS United States being readied for scuttling.

Freedom comes from realizing just recognizing a good shot is 90% of the total work, the rest is just margins. Some people start there and never leave, the lucky sods. Some of the others will get there eventually. Many will be lost in purgatory, forever thinking they just need one more setting right.

Argh, just as I was finishing up another roll in my Pen D the shutter started releasing while winding yet again. I'm getting really good at taking it apart but it's frustrating not having a reliable camera. Anyone have suggestions on better fixes? @behindthebluemotel.com have you dealt with this?

the bevy of swans was especially photogenic this winter

This could be a fun game…

Got back my first roll of film (HP5+) through the Pen D, and it's pictures! Lost about a third from poor focus or the shutter activating while winding (which I've fixed, again) but very happy with these results from my Frankenstein'd camera and first time using film in almost 30 years!

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

Surely we can work skill activities into some events, my suggestion is shooting hoops. Maybe time for a “post-modern pentathlon?”

Winter is something one just survives, so seems right?
