looks like lynn is planning to repaint
This photograph shows a stylish, eclectic interior space with high ceilings and exposed brick walls. The room features a dramatic gallery wall covering most of the brick surface, filled with an assortment of framed artwork, photographs, and decorative pieces in various sizes and styles. The architectural details include white exposed beams on the ceiling and a white support beam. A staircase with white railings is visible on the right side of the image, ascending at an angle. The walls are painted in a deep navy blue color with distinctive white painted sections that create an artistic, abstract pattern - almost like clouds or organic shapes against the blue. [Lynn has confounded Claude.] On the left wall, there's a vibrant red artwork with colorful elements. The furniture includes a decorative green console table with ornate detailing positioned against the brick wall, topped with small potted plants and decorative items. A tall indoor plant (appears to be a fiddle leaf fig) in a pot stands nearby on the hardwood floor. The overall aesthetic is artistic and bohemian, mixing industrial elements (exposed brick), modern design (bold wall colors), and vintage/eclectic decor pieces. The space has a loft-like quality with its high ceilings and open feel, suggesting this might be a converted industrial or commercial building transformed into residential space. ALT by Claude

I am holding up a vinyl record album with a bright yellow/orange cover. The album features Count Basie and Neal Hefti dressed in vintage baseball uniforms - one wearing a dark cap and the other wearing a red cap. The text on the cover reads "Basie plays Hefti" (with "EMUS" visible at the top, part of a reissue label). The photo is taken in a home workspace. In the background, there's a white shelving unit containing various items including: • A black sculptural bust on the left • A small framed photograph • Some wooden decorative objects • Multiple books and notebooks arranged vertically • Various photographs and papers • Small toy cameras on the shelf The setting suggests this is a collector's space or creative workspace with an eclectic mix of art objects, books, and memorabilia. The vintage jazz album being displayed is clearly a prized piece from this collection. ALT by Claude

this soundtrack of the 1967 dudley moore flick "bedazzled" and it's not only great, it's amazing: the music is written and performed by dudley moore, so now i absolutely have to see this movie
This is a vintage movie poster for "Bedazzled," a comedy film from 20th Century-Fox. The poster features a distinctive 1960s design aesthetic with red, gray, and white horizontal stripes as graphic elements. The poster prominently displays the stars Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in their first starring comedy together, with illustrated portraits of both actors - Cook on the left with a more serious expression, and Moore on the right with a broad smile. There's also an image of a woman (Eleanor Bron) on the left side. The center features a woman (Raquel Welch, credited "as Lust") reclining in black lingerie in a provocative pose. The title "bedazzled" is displayed in bold red lowercase letters with a distinctive 1960s-style font. The poster notes it was "Produced and Directed by STANLEY DONEN" with screenplay by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and music by Dudley Moore. It was filmed in "PANAVISION® - COLOUR BY De LUXE." The promotional text describes it as "HILARIOUS-OUTRAGEOUS" and notes this is "Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in their first starring comedy!" This is clearly a promotional poster from the 1967 British comedy film, a satirical take on the Faust legend. ALT by Claude

they say all the ginkgo trees drop their leaves on the same day … yesterday was the day
This photo captures a beautiful autumn scene on an urban sidewalk. The ground is carpeted with bright yellow ginkgo leaves that have fallen from a tree, creating a striking contrast against the dark pavement. The distinctive fan-shaped ginkgo leaves are scattered densely across the brick or paver walkway, with the heaviest concentration around the base of a tree trunk visible in the frame. The leaves display the characteristic golden-yellow color that ginkgo trees are famous for in fall, with some showing hints of green as they transition. The setting appears to be a city street, with a metal tree grate visible around the trunk and what looks like a curb and possibly a street or parking area in the background. The wet-looking pavement suggests recent rain, which has likely contributed to the leaf drop and gives the scene a glossy, reflective quality. The composition creates a lovely study in contrasts - the organic scatter of natural leaves against the geometric patterns of the urban hardscape, and the vibrant yellow foliage against the muted grays and browns of the pavement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

the food truck in the parking lot of the marathon station on the corner of washtenaw and golfside is AMAZING!!!!!!!
This photo shows a vibrant food truck with eye-catching branding. The truck features a distinctive design with flame graphics wrapping around the exterior, giving it an energetic, fiery aesthetic. The prominent circular logo displays what appears to be tacos and includes text mentioning “ASADA” and location information for Ann Arbor. The truck has a modern design with large serving windows that fold open, allowing customers to order from outside. A menu board is visible on the side, and there’s an “OPEN” sign displayed. The exterior graphics include appetizing food photography showing items like tacos and al pastor meat on a spit. The food truck is parked on worn asphalt pavement in a parking lot. The setting appears to be autumn, given the trees with yellowing leaves visible in the background. The sky is partly cloudy with dramatic cloud formations allowing sunlight to peek through, creating interesting lighting in the scene. The dual-axle trailer setup indicates this is a substantial mobile food operation, and the professional wrap and branding suggest an established business rather than a startup venture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

i stayed in a hotel with an amazing view 25 years ago
This photograph captures a stunning view from inside a hotel room looking out through large glass doors onto a balcony or terrace. The view showcases Mont-Saint-Michel, the famous medieval abbey and fortress situated on a tidal island in Normandy, France. In the foreground, there are two floral-patterned upholstered chairs flanking a small round dark table, creating a cozy seating area. The room opens onto a balcony with glass railings and what appears to be outdoor furniture including a blue table. Beyond the balcony, the view extends across flat marshlands and salt meadows (known as "polders") with patches of green fields and vegetation. Mont-Saint-Michel rises dramatically from this landscape in the distance, its iconic Gothic spire and medieval architecture creating a distinctive silhouette against the sky. The water surrounding the mount is visible, showing the tidal flats that make this UNESCO World Heritage site so unique. The image is taken during daylight hours with good visibility, allowing for a clear view of this spectacular landmark from a premium accommodation with one of the best views of Mont-Saint-Michel available in the region.

My hand is holding up a classic vinyl record album: "Time Out" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Columbia Records 1959 stereo release (catalog number CS 8192), one of the most celebrated jazz albums of all time and one of the first jazz albums to sell over a million copies. It features the classic lineup of the quartet: Dave Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Joe Morello on drums, and Eugene Wright on bass. The track listing visible includes "Strange Meadow Lark," "Three to Get Ready," "Kathy's Waltz," "Everybody's Jumpin'," and "Pick Up Sticks," along with the famous "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo A La Turk." The album is known for its use of unusual time signatures. The cover features a distinctive abstract geometric design with circles, semi-circles, and angular shapes in earth tones — browns, oranges, blues, and beiges — against a dark background. The artwork was created by S. Neil Fujita, a renowned graphic designer who created many memorable Columbia Records album covers during the 1950s and 60s. His modernist design for "Time Out" has become one of the most recognizable album covers in jazz history. The cover was considered a risk at the time, as it did not show a photo of the musicians.

i dropped into blue llama last night, didn't stay, but the groove was on high #jazz
This photo captures a live jazz performance at the Blue Llama Jazz Club in Ann Arbor last night. The intimate venue features the Ellen Rowe Quartet ft. Mike Sakash and Sunny Wilkinson performing on stage, bathed in atmospheric purple and blue lighting that creates a classic jazz club ambiance. The ensemble consists of five musicians: pianist Ellen Rowe at a grand piano on the left, vocalist Sunny Wilkinson in an elegant gold/yellow dress with black accents standing center-left, Rob Bickley on double bass, saxophonist Mike Sakash in a gray suit jacket at center stage, and drummer Pete Siers on the right. The stage is set against rich blue velvet curtains with the venue's illuminated "Blue Llama Ann Arbor" sign visible in the background. The room has a sophisticated design with curved ceiling details and accent lighting that complements the moody atmosphere. Small cocktail tables are arranged in the foreground where audience members are seated, creating an intimate club setting. The professional stage setup includes microphone stands, music stands, and amplification equipment, all contributing to the polished presentation of this jazz performance. The lighting design is particularly striking, with the purple and blue hues creating dramatic shadows and highlights that enhance the sophisticated, late-night jazz club feel. ALT mostly by Claude

this 1950 studio recording, with four extended vesions of great ellington songs, is a real treasure

#jazz #vinyl #vinylrecords #duke #dukeellington #ellington
This photo showcases a classic Duke Ellington album from a home library. The Album: "Masterpieces by Ellington" on Columbia Records - a stunning vintage LP with one of the most iconic album covers in jazz history. The design features a dramatic close-up portrait of Duke Ellington rendered in deep teal/turquoise tones against a cream-colored upper section. The bold black typography of "MASTERPIECES BY ELLINGTON" dominates the top, with track listings including "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," "The Tattooed Bride," and "Solitude." The Columbia LP logo is visible in the upper right corner. The Setting: This photo reveals a rich, artistic living space: Exposed brick wall on the left, giving the space an urban loft aesthetic White shelving filled with an impressive collection of books, art volumes, and what appears to be design references Sculptural elements including a dark wooden abstract sculpture Various books including cultural/artistic subjects Mid-century modern furniture elements visible at the edges The overall space has the feel of a music lover's sanctuary Visual Impact: The stark, minimalist design of this album cover represents some of the best of 1950s graphic design - using limited color and bold typography to create maximum impact. The teal-toned portrait gives Ellington an almost mythic quality, befitting his status as one of jazz's greatest composers and bandleaders.

#nowplaying #jazz #charleslloyd #charleslloydquartet #vinyl #vinylrecords
This photo reveals a Charles Lloyd album from an impressive collection [oh please], shown in a personal, lived-in creative space. The Album: "Of Course, Of Course" by the Charles Lloyd Quartet - featuring a striking cover design with a split image showing Charles Lloyd in formal attire (white shirt, bow tie, and dark suit) holding his flute. The dual image creates a mirrored effect, with colorful "of course" text in orange and pink between the two portraits. Lloyd wears sunglasses and is photographed against a dark background, giving the cover a sophisticated, cool jazz aesthetic. The album is on the Columbia label. The Setting: This is a creative person's [ha ha] workspace/living area: ° White shelving units filled with books, art supplies, and personal items ° A dark sculptural bust visible on the upper shelf ° Various art books and a Staedtler (art supply) box ° Personal photographs displayed among the collections ° More vinyl records stored in crates/boxes ° The leopard-print decorative item visible again ° Art materials and tools scattered throughout ° A casual, working artist's [???] environment rather than a pristine display space The View: My hand holds the album, giving scale and a personal touch. The record collection visible in the background suggests this Charles Lloyd album is part of a broader music library, housed within a home workspace used for both listening and creating. [well, sort of] ALT by Claude, lightly edited and annotated This photo showcases a rare Japanese pressing of a Charles Lloyd album, displayed in a record collector's library. The Album: "Forest Flower" by Charles Lloyd - specifically a Japanese pressing on the Atlantic Jazz Age label. The cover features a golden-yellow background with typography displaying "FOREST FLOWER" and "CHARLES LLOYD" in red and cream lettering, with "AT MONTEREY" below. The main image shows Charles Lloyd wearing sunglasses and a cap, captured mid-performance playing his saxophone. The Japanese obi strip (the vertical text band along the spine) is intact, which is highly prized by collectors and indicates this is an authentic Japanese import pressing. The Setting: ° Bookshelves filled with art books, literature, and reference materials ° Sculptural busts displayed on the shelves - dark,bronze or painted sculptures that add artistic gravitas to the space ° A turntable in the lower left corner, ready for listening ° Ambient lighting including a string of xmas lights strung along the bookshelf Significance: Japanese pressings of jazz albums are legendary among collectors for their superior audio quality, meticulous pressing standards, and beautiful packaging. The "Forest Flower" album recorded at Monterey is one of Charles Lloyd's most celebrated recordings, making this a particularly valuable piece in the collection.

thumbing through used records at underground sounds, found b.b. king's very first LP, a 1957 compilation of hit singles from 1951 to 1956. fifteen bucks. wow.

the recording quality is not great to begin with, and it's pretty scratchy after almost seventy years […]

[Original post on a2mi.social]
This photo captures a classic blues vinyl album being displayed in front of a record collection. The Album: "Singin' the Blues" by B.B. King - a vintage record with a cream-colored cover featuring bold pink script lettering and yellow text. The cover shows B.B. King in a formal dark suit, smiling broadly while holding his guitar. The image has that wonderful vintage quality typical of early blues recordings. The Setting: The photo is taken from above, showing: A turntable with clear dust cover on a white surface, with a record spinning on the platter An vinyl collection stored vertically in the background, with visible albums including the Rolling Stones album "England's Newest Hitmakers" The decorative leopard-print giraffe figure from the other photos, adding personality to the space Various decorative items on the shelves including Phrack and NSA challenge coins A hand wearing a bracelet holding the B.B. King album Atmosphere: This image showcases a vinyl collector's space with an impressive depth of collection. The presence of both jazz (Charles Lloyd) and blues (B.B. King) records suggests an appreciation for American roots music and its evolution. The organized storage and quality turntable setup indicate this is someone who takes their music listening seriously while maintaining a personal, lived-in aesthetic. [ 🙄 ] ALT by Claude. I tried to tone down the excess but gave up halfway through.

This photo shows another Charles Lloyd Quartet vinyl album, this time displayed on a turntable setup with a different aesthetic than the first image. The Album:Charles Lloyd Quartet Montreux '82 record with a white cover featuring bold red text at the top. The cover shows a black and white photograph of Charles Lloyd himself, wearing glasses and a knit cap, smiling warmly at the camera. The image is framed with colorful geometric accents - yellow borders and striped patterns in the corners that give it a distinctive graphic design style. The Turntable: A Marantz record player with a clear acrylic dust cover sits on a shelf. An adjacent tuner has a sleek black body with ventilation grilles visible on the side panel. A vinyl record is mounted on the platter, and you can see the tonearm and cartridge in playing position. Setting: The turntable is positioned on a light-colored wooden cabinet against a white wall. There are some items visible in the background on the upper shelf, including other audio equipment. Overall vibe: This is a clean, minimalist setup that contrasts with the more eclectic scene from the first photo, showing someone's dedication to playing and enjoying vintage jazz recordings on modern equipment.

dahlias from lynn's garden

#dahlia #dahlias #dahliasofmastodon #flower #flowers #flowersofmastodon
This is a beautiful close-up photograph of fresh dahlias arranged together, showcasing their stunning variety and intricate petal structures. The flowers featured: Purple dahlia (left): A striking bi-colored bloom with deep purple-burgundy centers that gradually fade to white or pale lavender at the petal tips. The petals are arranged in perfect geometric layers, creating a pompom-like spherical shape characteristic of ball or decorative dahlias. Pink-coral dahlia (right): A large dinner-plate style dahlia shown from the back, revealing its green sepals and the underside of its vibrant coral-pink to magenta petals. The petals are broad and slightly twisted, showing beautiful color gradation. White dahlias (background): Cream-colored or white blooms with yellow-green centers visible from their reverse side, adding depth and contrast to the composition. Overall impression: The photograph beautifully captures the dahlias' fresh, garden-picked quality with excellent detail of their textures and color transitions. The soft, neutral background allows the vivid colors to stand out, while the mix of front-facing and back-facing blooms creates visual interest and shows the complete beauty of these flowers from multiple angles. The composition has an artistic, almost painterly quality to it.
