Coach and boatwright The range of contrast was huge here, maybe that's why I like it because I was able to pull the two of them talking in the background out just enough. 📷 Pentax K3 mkiii monochrome

I am GeWilli, God of the world, bringer of the world. Fear me because I don't know what to do. Def don't know what to do, at least it got that on the nose.

Time to break out the big can of red bull

Took a handful of monochrome. But there's def a switch in my brain, this color thing is making sense. Going to make an effort for more monochrome today but we'll see how my instincts drive the photos/camera choice

Long day. Got a few decent photos, team media coordinator was happy. There's some palpable tension here. The league is tough and everything comes down to tomorrow morning. It'll be a much more active day with the 📷 than today's standing at the start.

More words from Mike F Before I finished reading, I spent two days watching the film he mentions. Even without the context of the saga of riding up that trail, it is damn good and way too relatable. nsmb.com/articles/tri...

every so often I look down at the trending box here on the browser and pretty much every time I have no idea why they are trending and an overwhelming urge NOT to find out scrolling the following feed rarely clues me in and that makes me feel okay about how I've curated my followers.

Wondering if anyone in my bike circle could use or knows someone who could use a good commuter bike or a good cyclocross bike? I’ve got a couple: 1x12 disc style (Trek Crockett), 1x1 rim style (Gitane City Link). Both size 52 cm.

"... but the point of convenience is to eradicate the journey to the telos" (from a book, i'll leave anonymous for now) Fuck your short cuts Fuck convenience Do it so the journey is as much of a reward as the 'telos' (an ultimate end: @merriam-webster.com )

Realized today that this is the 20th year of bike to work day [month] for me here in RI. Last year I think I pulled out my BTW t-shirt from 2006, this year, kind of by, accident I grabbed the 2016 one. Thanks for supporting bike commuters @ripta.com

Can I say just how MUCH I'm looking forward to driving back to PVD from Longwood. Wasn't so bad getting here, but no idea how long this appointment will take...

Morning coffee in the backyard while Molly runs around and sniffs is pretty nice. Esp right now. No bugs, perfect temps. But this morning? A squirrel pooped on me. I've had tree debris fall on me before, bits of flowers/leaves. But these were brown pellets and over my head in the maple, a squirrel

Nice tweak to the post sale hype email @usedphotopro.com (Also did I really just buy two lenses from the same place in less than a month?)

Pretty happy with this lens, it was a great price and while not the fancy star Pentax, once closed down to 4.5 is gets really nice (100% crop of last post)

"This is for all the artists, whose work is just a drop in the ocean, but do it anyway"

I think a lot about how the Ode to Joy is on both Golden Records on Voyagers 1 and 2. This music will survive the eventual extinction of humanity. It will survive Earth being swallowed up when Sol goes Red Giant. It will survive the collapse of Sol into a White Dwarf. It is humanity's legacy.

What an absolutely delightful book "Lost Lanes Scotland" by @jackthurston.bsky.social #Cycling

Anyone else read this the way I did the first time? (It's hand painted fwiw)

Molly What better way to test of the new to me lens that I've been pining over that @friction.bsky.social pointed out was in stock at @usedphotopro.com when I passed on another lens I'd been eyeballing. I'm not sure how I spent that much but here we are. 📷 Pentax K1 mkii w/ Pentax D-FA 24-70 f2.8

Facts: Someone asked how old my id picture was. So old I didn't remember. Needed a new id so I got a new picture on the new card. Turns out, it was the original 20 year old photo.

It's a bit exciting. I haven't seen these since the gallery closed suddenly in 2022. This collection means a lot to me.

The weird mental head space limbo continues... making this conundrum worse: Can't decide what film to load into the P17. Also can't decide what camera I want to load the XP2 in (other than I don't want to load it in the P17) So I *gasp* rode to work without a film camera. who am I anymore?
