Somehow I lived until last night not knowing the great Rod Serling, of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery fame, also had a short lived Western, The Loner, starring Lloyd Bridges. It’s available as a currently $10 DVD set on Amazon, but also on YouTube if others are as interested as I. The first episode, wordy for a Western, certainly feels very Serling. Love how the TV frame is tightly filled. First episode The rest https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnentduopWcJz29q7eTHh0MSFKoxeTClG&si=cfZ6oRZDWQFhMIOm

[Warning: way too many photos] It's what I call "lowrider season", so hit the ever growing show in downtown San Jose yesterday (alway's good light when not behind skyscraper and tree shadows). For those going to be in San Francisco next weekend there's one there. As opposed to the photos above, went all color. The graffiti shots are with the ever reliable combo of Canon 6D Classic and Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake. The main show's are with the Leica SL2 and very unpancake 16 elements, 3lbs Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4. And when you have a fast wide angle everything is a nail.

You're better than I. With apologies to Dolly (and all of you) this is the song I've been thinking about this week.

The Audacity from AMC, but also showing on Netflix. Took a couple episodes, but I’m now so in. Angry, snarky comedy. Aka the other Cupertino. Trailer First episode

While heading to Melissa's parent's house last weekend we visited the small town of Winters CA for the first time, and stumbled across their small car show in the early evening. So out came the M Monochrom (M9M) and LLL 35mm f/1.4 Double Aspherical "11873", shot mostly at f/2 for a classic, low res look. It's a cute little town if you haven't been @TMoney

Home sick so the perfect time to start perhaps my most ridiculous recent CD purchase, the decade old initial DeAgostini Japan Blue Note Best Jazz Collection subscription set (minus the accompanying magazines - my Japanese isn't what it never was). Every other week a new CD was sent with 5-7 tracks introducing an [in this set Blue Note] artist. So we start with the little known American trumpeter Miles Davis. Ex.
