Note

It’s gotten out of hand.

I took a roll’s worth of frames today, but on four different film cameras, so I still don’t have anything new to process.

Kazuyuki Hiraoka, author of the Howm Emacs package: If you don’t organize notes, it’s wearisome to read them. If you try to organize notes, it’s wearisome to write them. got that right.

I know people throughout history have successfully used Rolleiflexes for all kinds of documentary photography and photojournalism, but have they ever tried following a toddler around?

I’ve not quite gotten the hang of the Rolleiflex, apparently. This is expired Kodak Portra 400 (Expired 2012).

Looks like I accidentally took a photo of a hole in the universe. (Either that, or there’s a problem with the film negative.)

I can’t explain why I like listening to my old cassettes so much. All I can say is that I’m having a blast. Now Playing: Rush, “Roll the Bones”

In 2010 I would walk around with the Hasselblad and a roll of Tri-X and take photos of just about anything. This is a spring from a train car. I like how it turned out.

I spent hours yesterday watching YouTube videos about photographers. Ernst Haas, Winogrand, Helen Levitt, Irving Penn, Tish Murtha, etc. I loved it, but so help me if I don’t get out and make some of my own pictures soon what am I even doing?

What happens if a YouTube thumbnail doesn’t include someone making a stupid face and pointing? I assume there’s a fine involved.

In Junior High, I asked a girl I had a crush on to sign my yearbook. She wrote, “You’re weird, but sweet!” I was a teeny bit offended at the time, but I like to think I’ve stayed true to her summary ever since. It now feels like a compliment.

I’ve set up EchoFeed to “echo” the content from the new /notes area on Baty.net to Mastodon. No link, just the content. If you can read this, it worked.

This note was added via my new jab/hugo-new-note function in Emacs.

Hello, this is the first “Note” post I’ve added to my Hugo blog. The idea is for these to be short, title-less posts, syndicated to social media.
