Today Ale helped me change the rear air springs on my car... Yesterday, we celebrated his 11th birthday and we got home in the early hours. His face gives him away.. 😁

Happy birthday!

Magnus Öström "Thread of Life" (Drummer E.S.T.) Every time I listen to this album... I get goosebumps. Especially "Longing". It gradually builds in intensity, the final minutes.... ufffff a masterpiece. And then; Dan and Magnus together again...

In the end, I decided on the F2.8... In recent months, I've used the 24-105 F4L much more than the 24-70 2.8L because of that extra telephoto reach, and I have to say it works very well except at sunset and indoors, where I struggled to take good photos without too much grain. At those times, I missed the 24-70 F2.8L. That's why I ruled out the 70-200 F4 and broke the piggy bank to buy the F2.8. 🙂 Some more photos with the 24-105mm F4L

Another vinyl record I bought in London.... it needed a couple of passes through the ultrasonic cleaner but it's in perfect condition now. Baby Huey - Hard Times

Happy (very belated) birthday

The Hot Sardines

Now we are using My Whoosh... no bad.

New sponsor, new toys

I'm thinking of buying one of these two so I can take it to Ale's waterpolo matches (last year he started playing in the national league). I'm drawn to the F4 because it's small/light because I'm a little tired of carrying around the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L

^ I have the RVG edition.... I really like that recording

Nooo, but I should 🙂 Peculiar things about Great Danes: 1º Like Rockwell, a Great Dane will never give you a moment of privacy. Standing nearly 1.90 meters tall on its hind legs, it can easily open doors—including the bathroom door. Sit down to eat, open the fridge... you’ll swear it’s watching your every move. 2. This thing, at 10 months old, already weighs 42 kg and eats almost 1 kg of good quality kibble a day, and despite that, it will always be hungry (remember that Scooby-Doo always had hungry? Well, it's true). 3. It has no idea how big or heavy it is… my ribs can attest to that. 4º It loves to spook postman, Amazon delivery drivers, and others...

I always feel like somebody is watching me...

I love that album, it won 5 Grammys including Best Album. I remember Nile Rodgers commenting that it was the first dance album to win a Grammy since "Saturday Night Fever."

A little gem I bought in London

Yes, it´s St Pancras

I don't use film for pragmatic reasons... I took the R6 MKII with me. By the way... I found this. 10 years difference?... shit, I have aged badly 🙂

Whenever I visit London, I always end up taking photos of these three places. The colors really catch my eye: blue, red... I'm posting some of the many photos I took, although I haven't looked at them all yet. In my defense, it's hard to concentrate while chasing after your pre-teen son... although I did manage to sneak a nod to Wings.

I've finally been able to see the photos I took in London (I was there 3 weeks ago)

I admit I don't listen to much Spanish music (ironic, right?), but she has something...

A-Ha mtv unplugged They have a really cool version of "The Killing Moon" with Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen)

GoGo Penguin "Necessary Fictions" The interplay between the drummers of GoGo Penguin and Mammal Hands is fascinating: Rob Turner, Jesse Barrett and Jon Scott. I consider all three drummers to be great, with fantastic sounds and grooves that give both trios a lot of character. I love the tracks where they play syncopated rhythms... microtextures or simply seem to be off-beat before returning to the correct tempo.
