Vintage Digicams Aren’t Just a Fad. They’re an Artistic Statement In a time when AI-powered imaging software tweaks and smooths every digital photo to appear perfect, some photographers are embracing the quirky flaws of vintage digital cameras. https://www.wired.com/story/vintage-digicams-artistic-photos/

Amyl and the Sniffers’ Cartoon Darkness I won’t link an example song here, but Jerkin’ On Your Squirter is fun.

Everyone knows RadioLab. Their delivery can get really annoying, but this one on the two times the Electoral College was almost abolished was good. https://radiolab.org/podcast/the-unpopular-vote

Thanks. I'll likely never use gaming side though (last system was ColecoVision). Thanks for the breakdown. The Oppo is like the Rio Karma of Blu-ray players, right?

So I'm lookin' for a Blu-ray player with 4K playback in 2024. I'm kind of afraid to ask , but anyone fond of a 4K player that I should take a look at? The leading contender seems to be the Panasonic DP-UB820-K (aka "The UB820").

Definitely moments you’re reminded everyone involved with this documentary is less intelligent than its subject, but still a decent survey and worth a watch - Ken Burn’s Leonardo da Vinci. Just be aware, like most Burn’s work, the narrative is a bit simplified.

All I know is Idina Menzel sang at work a month ago and co-workers came into the office this week in Wicked costumes like it's Halloween 2.0. Getting confusing adult Frozen vibes all around.

The final season of Somebody Somewhere. I really love this show.

And just like that it seems (from lite documentation, but also resolution) that Silkypix does raw process both pixel types. And one version back is only $32. I can't believe I'm going to recommend Silkypix.

The Substance. Unbelievably Megalopolis may have competition. Okay, I know others enjoyed and there was some fun nudity, but why did everything have to be so obvious? Made it almost half way.

You’re not alone.

Another photofair today. Picked up an old aluminum case and a Revolution Revisited Kim Komenich photobook, but also a body I’ll probably never run a roll through, however I’ve been a sucker for its look since first seen years ago. $20 for an Argus C3 shelf piece isn’t bad, right?

Did anyone think Taylor actually won that?

Watching Tyson v. Social Media Guy thingy.

Telly Savalas If

Annual Barnes & Noble 50% Criterion sale. Time to buy the CC40 Blu-ray Collection. Upcoming birthday present to myself? Check. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-cc40-criterion-collection-49pc-box-aniv-dts-sgnl/1146148868

Hope you had a great one.

Congrats on the SL2. Man, the S5 Pro as the high point of the Fuji-Nikon collaboration and Super CCD is something. Are you processing in LR? Sadly, the 12MP combined high/low (aka normal) pixel raw output, isn't handled in most apps, including C1, so it's a JPG-only camera for me, but love it.

^ He sells prints occasionally over on his IG. Have a couple of his solar flare shots. For those on Macs, Apple reaches deal to acquire Pixelmator. Will be curious how this plays out as it's been so dependent on OS functionality. Also...

Has anyone in the history of humanity ever disliked Teri Garr?

Somehow have never heard of Mac Sabbath

Lots of 4AD way back. __________
