I think Leica sent you back the wrong body.

Production CFA3 enclosure arrived yesterday 😃 I told the machine shop to not bead blast the heatsink mounting side, just leave it mill finished. They must have thought I meant to mill it after anodizing. I can't figure out if it's a win or not but it's different?

I own a lot of lenses, but end up using a 50/1.8 almost all of the time. All of these were taken with it and my 5D4, at ISO 200. F/9, 1/400. F/9, 1/200. F/8, 1/40. F/10, 1/500. F/8, 1/320. F/8, 1/200. F/7.1, 1/320. F/5, 1/125. F/8, 1/160. I took this one with the 50/1.4 at F/4, 1/80. The 1.4 has significantly more barrel distortion than the 1.8, which is never noticeable in actual photos.

Speaking of Wilson and size queens: This fella wandered in to the audio snob subreddit and posted a terrible picture of amazing gear. He spent all his money on 1.2KW Mac monoblocks so he used a 2012 iPhone camera. Also, TWO Thor's Hammers because fuck you, that's why. Also also room treatment is for suckers, it would seem. Also 3: I maintain that Wilsons are the speakers that look like invading robots that are very angry with the listener. Your insolence will not be tolerated, fleshbag.

Definitely relate. At least the biggie, Sequence, is still close as it moved from Palo Alto (Stanford's Cantor Center) to SFMOMA and then back to Palo Alto. Somewhere I have a photo of young Esmé, with wide eyes, getting lost in the light & shadows.

How are you using "beat"?

Kodak Gold 200 120 loaded. Kentmere should be here before the trip this weekend. I’m looking forward to taking a portrait of Heather in her new hometown on medium format.

Cough twice if that's Colin Farrell in there.

That happened to me once. That's why I'm in this fat body now.

Carl "Blue Suede Shoes" Perkins is in the studio to record "Matchbox," his other great hit. Arriving early to the studio to watch him record is the man in black, Johnny Cash. Also around is "the killer," Jerry Lee Lewis, Sun records' new piano player who hasn't had any of his hits released yet. Driving past, 21 year old Elvis sees the armada of Cadillacs parked at Sun records and stops in to see what is going on. A lot of this is just noodling around and the recording isn't great, but this one of the most impressive collaborations of early rock superstars that we have. The "Million Dollar Quartet," indeed. "Don't be Cruel" and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" are real highlights. Sad that by the time they started to get back together Elvis had already passed on.

RIP Richard Serra. Love his work. I was very sad when they removed his sculpture from SFMOMA in the room that they had built around it specially.

RIP the six road maintenance guys who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it collapsed early this morning. Cold water, the drop, as well as the bridge collapse itself...all indications are that they did not survive.
