RIP Peter Lindbergh https://time.com/5668300/peter-lindbergh-death/ "This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection."

You should probably always fly a kite (with key) whenever outside to be safe.

Ha. Just know it’s a plastic camera with a stacked sensor (instead of BAYER RGB like nearly every other color camera), doesn’t work well with Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One, and instead of a front grip for human hands has a reverse grip, because why not? So pluses and minuses.

Labor Day Weekend at Carpinteria, CA is an opportunity for some Sigma dp0/2 Quattro panoramas. Forgot how much I disliked the cameras handling and processing, but love the Foveon output. Also an emu at nearby Ostrichland, Fake Denmark, with the dp2Q processed with a Kodak Technical Pan sim in Alien Skin (recently renamed Exposure). Bonus: Hypno-E with a7III & Voigt 40 f/1.2 E and default C1 sim.

Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb created an entirely novel kind of mature pop: countrypolitan

On Van Morrison’s Contractual Obligation album

Different strokes indeed, but for what it’s worth the show (and onscreen team) comes together in episode three, should you ever get the urge to give it another shot.

Fun article - Inside the Twisted, Worldwide Hunt for a $7 Million Stolen Car

Somehow Mindhunter’s second season is even better than its great first. For those who haven’t seen yet, don’t judge solely by the pilot (or title). David Fincher’s explorations here are pretty interesting.

Happy belated!

I can't remember, who was asking for a professional pinhole zoom lens? https://pinhole-pro-x-18-36mm-pinhole.kckb.st/be1ca706

Ha. Finished off the second season of Big Little Lies. In my younger days I would have taken great pleasure in ripping on that awful ending. It probably wasn’t the directors fault.

In the history of the Universe Bigshot has never been perfect.

Thanks. They certainly make a heavy watch.

An Insider article titled "We hired the author of 'Black Hawk Down' and an illustrator from 'Archer' to adapt the Mueller report so you'll actually read it"

After four years with the Apple Watch, have been eyeing automatics for about a month. I'm not a watch guy and won't be collecting, but I'm from Ohio and like Panerai, so...

Santa Clara County Fair. Fujifilm X-Pro2 & XF 23f/1.4. Fun with colors and a tiny tripod.

RIP Filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker

For the Frank Lloyd Wright fans there’s an out of print pop-up book titled, you guessed it, Frank Lloyd Wright in Pop-Up, that has plenty of used copies on Amazon right now for under $10. We bought a few years back for Esmé. It’s kinda fun to have around.

If you need a good laugh...

A good high res sample.

A fun, short Ilford film...
