This is a collection of short notes and photos. They are not included in the main RSS feed, but are cross-posted to my Mastodon account. If you prefer RSS, there’s a dedicated feed.
When including these “Notes” on my daily journal pages, I forgot to deal with cover images. This here is a test of this morning’s fix for that.
I’ve changed my Hugo template so that any “Notes” I create on the same day as a daily journal are included inline in the journal post. No titles, just text. They’re still on the /notes page, too, so I can see them all at once. I’m also still cross-posting them to Mastodon, for now.
I think about this a lot. Whenever I read it I usually make a few prints.
It happened again and it was so satisfying.
I want to just walk around the seaside village all day, making small watercolor paintings of things I observe. I would do that, but I rarely leave the house in my boring midwestern suburb and I can’t paint for shit.
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.

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.
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.
