  1. You pick the musical personality that defined the punk/rock attitude for you. Taking on the church or Frank Sinatra it’s always been her for me. Like a lot of soon to be parents I started thinking of the music I wanted to introduce to our child. Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and O’Conner’s I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got were one and two. Celebrate the beautiful. Tear down the opposite.

  2. In related news a friend's niece is starting a beginners digital photo course and looking for a body and lens for <$500 new or used. The course description requirements were ridiculous, but translated basically said a camera you could get out of automatic mode and a widish lens. I said...

    • 5D Classic + 35mm
    • D700 + 35mm
    • XT1 + 23mm

    Any others recommendations of the top of your heads gang?

    IMO, the Lavry DAC's were very good in their time.....DA-10 (which I owned and liked), and DA-11 (never owned, but heard once at a show and seemed to like).

    It's of course a different DAC world now, but a DA10 is still in my speaker rig and I fondly remember the Lavry-Benchmark-Grace DAC battles.

  4. This year's Eureka CA fireworks were done in the fog, which sucks if you want to see the fireworks, but cool if you like the visuals in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Anyway, Leica SL2-S at 12800 ISO with the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.0, then denoised slightly in Topaz's Photo.ai. Here you go - pretty fog.
