Thanks everyone for the well wishes. It's been a nice day which has culminated with some late night Ella Fitzgerald. What could be better?

An interesting take on the fall of Kodak. Not new, but not a perspective I'd seen before. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/the-rise-and-fall-of-kodaks-moment According to Kamal: “The people taking pictures suddenly changed, from 60% women to 70% men. Kodak didn't know how to market to men. But even if they could get them to buy, they didn't want to, because men don't print. Unlike women, they hadn't been socialised in the role of family archivist."

I used to (30 years ago) know Don at DAG a little bit. Not sure if he is still in the Leica repair business, but he was our go to at the time. https://www.dagcamera.com/contact.html

And yet, if you'd had that technology, you'd have 5% more finger than you currently do.

New Philip Glass. Nothing earth shattering, but a nice new recording. also, a note that that cover is by Luis Álvarez Roure and is a stunning bit of portraiture.

I didn't read it, and I'm not going to because I don't care, but I wanted to second this.

@swt61 @TMoney If you are interesting in AK life, Northern Exposure is available to stream on Amazon. I have vague memories of liking it from when it was on, and it turns out to be pretty good.

Happy birthday!

Maybe, but it is what we collectively seem to believe we deserve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_myth

Reminded me of this from when I was young - count the legs

And security guards trailed us to a record shop We asked for Mojo Nixon They said, "He don't work here" We said, "If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'"

While we are on the subject of useless camera formats - I long ago got rid of nearly all of my collectable camera gear (the Graflex was a gift, received subsequent to that purge). The one piece I kept was my Pen FT half frame with bellows and slide copier. Because who doesn't need to convert all of their slides into even smaller slides?
