The time shifting app I’m using to try to acclimate to a new time zone is telling me I need sunlight. The sun won’t rise for another hour.

Walking around Reykjavik today…
An image of the Sun Voyager sculpture as the sun rises. A photo from inside, looking through an image of a fish painted on a window, with the Reykjavik harbor just beyond. Breakfast. A cappuccino next to a delicious Monkey Muffin.

I didn’t know anything about these. The backstory and the images themselves are beautiful. I love this part specifically: Groebli once remarked that a photograph should not explain itself completely, leaving room for the viewer’s own memories to surface.

Insomnia becomes a superpower when you are trying to time shift for travel.

I’m not the only one to think the movie “Outland” might take place in the same universe depicted in “Alien,” but I’m starting to think the original “Rollerball” might be a prequel to both.

I think I’m getting excited for my upcoming trip because I’m liking everyone’s far way photos on the timeline.

I went to the grocery store last night to pick up some things for the holidays and next to the Christmas and Hanukkah candy they already had out Valentines Day stuff.

I still believe that “Got to Give It Up” by Marvin Gaye is the greatest pop song ever written. However, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” despite the controversy surrounding its singer, is the greatest roller skating rink song ever written. I could do a TED Talk on this.

I’ve said it before, but some of my favorite photos are mistakes.
A pancake lens that doesn’t handle low light very well. My shaking hands don’t seem to help the image. This is the observation car on the Zephyr headed east. More low light photography. Two people, dragging luggage outside of a window, turn into ghosts.

Trying to get some writing done outside today, but I keep getting distracted.
Using my messenger bag as a desk, I’m trying to type out some words. In the background the Grand Rapids river meets the Colorado.

This is where I post from.
A blue raft on the Colorado River that has “Blue Sky” printed on the side of it (in yellow text). The raft’s passengers look away.

We are having Hong Kong street waffles with ice cream tonight.
Eggy, waffle balls with a couple of scoops of chocolate fudge ice cream.

Wife: What are you thinking about?

My Brain: Don’t say you think there should have been a bee keeper and a mailman in the Village People. Don’t you dare say it!

Me: Oh… umm… nothing.

Making wood fired pizzas tonight.
A personal pizza. The toppings you can see are cheese, green peppers, Italian sausage, and red onion. It is perhaps a little overloaded with stuff.

I don’t normally take photos of flowers, but we’ve had a lot of rain recently and our neighborhood is just exploding with color.
Clumps of white flowers visible on our catalpa tree I’m not sure what flower this is. Light purple blooms are visible in a clump at the top of a stalk. Another clump of buds is visible behind, waiting for its moment. Red yarrow fills the image. The color is almost fluorescent it is so bright. A few purple irises in our front yard. Water from the early rain still cling to the pedals.

Okay, fine. I’ll get out of bed and make cinnamon rolls.

We went out to the Arsenal this morning to hang out with our neighborhood bison.
A herd of bison having breakfast on a flat, green stretch of open field. An orange flower we stumbled across stands up in the foreground. Behind it is tall grass. Tall, dry prairie grass fills the foreground. Behind it is a green field and a band of trees.

Ahh, the weekend… time to relax and… delete music from yet another site that decided to monetize my work by using AI tools without my permission. Fun.

A couple of additional images from our trip to Chicago…
A black and white image from Union Station with three trains lined up for boarding. Inside a coffee shop. A young man is seated in the background, holding his head, his computer open in front of him. Black and white. A color image that still looks like black and white. It is an early morning shot from inside of a hotel room. Light comes in through the window, but not enough to brighten the room. A photo from the inside of the Art Institute of Chicago. The roof is colored glass painting irregular color swatches into the large room underneath. Crowds of people fill the lobby and a corridor to the right.

A few pictures of Chicago.
A man walks along a sidewalk toward the elevated train above him. A woman starts down into the subway. Black and white. The Chicago River stretches out ahead, covered by bridges, boats lining the side, none of them moving. Black and white. In the Pedway beneath Chicago a lone man drags his wheeled suitcase along stripes in the floor that look like a running track. Fluorescent lights above. Black and white. Two trains wait in an underground station. I think these are South Side trains. Black and white.

A few photos from inside Denver’s Union Station.
Union Station in black and white. The sun is still up beyond the windows, but inside, lights are burning overhead. A martini sits on a tabletop. I was drawn to the way the liquid inside reflects the station around the glass. My wife and son, once again, looking like an edgy band stuck on a grueling tour. I want to listen to the album they are about to drop.
