More Graflexing this morning. Pack of Crowns marks the spot. Pretty much never use a tripod with these cameras, but it does give me the chance to use the mirror up technique. Not half-frame, but I’ll be joining @gewilli.bsky.social on a half-frame photo walk later today.

Yes! There was a guy interviewed on NPR recently who was mad about the tickets he got from a school zone cam. Specifically the 2 he got “in the middle of the day, when no kids are around”. As if speeding is okay otherwise. “Just a money grab”, yeah let's grab that money, maybe he'll think twice.

Also you should be driving the same way whether school is in session or not. I get the time of year makes for good reminder opportunity but it often implies people can be less safe other times.

The writers room seems increasingly desperate. Concocting a reconciliation storyline for the billionaire supervillain, and bringing back the son-in-law minister without portfolio character. It’s a cry for help.

No patience for the “cyclists are reckless and should be licensed” crowd today when I was nearly hit by a driver who decided to pass me on the right this morning. There was no lane to the right.

In the first season we had the favorite daughter and son-in-law characters but they were dropped in the re-boot. Instead we got the billionaire Bond villain character but that played out quickly. Now it's just him all the time with the same shtick. No wonder the ratings are tanking.

Hey everyone, I’m working on something cool for later this summer, I’m building a paper moon portrait booth! I’ve always loved these vintage photos and when I was asked to join the Friends of the Looff Carousel Festival it seemed a perfect opportunity.
