When people talk about #barcelona #architecture they usually mean #Gaudi, but there are plenty of 20th century buildings that reward documentation #believeinfilm #filmphotography #nikkormat #nikkor #analogphotography

I don’t know if there’s a better sax outro ever laid to tape. Does what I think all outros should do, which is stop just *barely* short of wearing out its welcome. Beautiful. youtu.be/4LDBqP9pX5E?...

Pretty fascinating analysis of (maybe) Trump’s plan. Makes a *little* more sense, but is still pretty fatally flawed and delusional.

Alice Coltrane’s Fender Rhodes work on this track is hands-down some of the best sound ever to come out of that keyboard. The bass she gets during the second half is just elemental. Highly recommend listening with headphones, or on a really good sound system. youtu.be/l7Hm0keXTeY?...

Getting some light banding on the bottom and top of frame on my DSLR film scanning setup (see lightening of the blacks on bottom and top of image). Anybody know why this might be? Currently using an iPad for light source. #filmscanning #analogphotography

Tried and failed to take a photo that does justice to this urban taller in Gracia. Need faster film or steadier hands. Does anybody make a stroller tripod? #fujifilm #gs645s #analogphotography #mediumformat #film

Tried my hand at scanning film with my mirrorless camera, a vintage Nikon lens, a tripod, and my iPad. First pass went badly but I’m pretty pleased with the second. Using Valoi 35/120 holders. They work well (although I wish they showed the sprocket holes). 120 film tomorrow! #analogphotography

It takes 14 minutes for this video to finally conclude that we need more politicians like Bernie Sanders but it’s worth it and I agree.

Early era B52s were something else. Lots has been said about Ricky Wilson’s guitar work (rightly so) and obviously the vocal trio are a genre of their own. But Keith Strickland’s drumming on these recordings hits so impossibly hard. If you’re looking for that extra shot of espresso this morning:
