Went out for a stroll last night a found this scene interesting. Might revisit in the future. #photography #leica_typ246

More trichromatic stuff. Simple still life of lemons and a colander. Color version is made combining three images that were shot in black and white using a red, green, and blue filter on each shot. The black and white is an image from the same camera without any filters. #photography #leica_typ246

“Superintelligent AI” how to say “I like trump” without saying “I like trump”.

One angle: smart folks want to *know*. About. Everything. There are so many questions to ask, so much to understand, that's just beyond human knowledge/capability today Superintelligent AI gives someone to ask, a tool to explore, a way to fill in those knowledge gaps taunting us, just out of reach.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

The post-war "peace dividend" owed its existence to three factors: industrial capacity, political freedom and pent-up demand.

Went out this morning and took a couple of pictures. #photography

Before trump's first tour, I made this helpful campaign posters and put them up in my neighborhood.

The old standby - Virginia's Market. A #trichrome and a #blackandwhite from the same camera. #photography #nashville.

Bud's Liquors & Wine. A trichromatic version and a black and white version out of the same camera. Camera: Leica M246 Monochrom Lens: Zhongyi Speed Master 50mm shot at f8 #photography #nashville

I paid more for my condo than these guys paid for a senator.

A couple images of the #Parthenon in #Nashville. One is a straight black and white and the other is 3 images combined to make a trichromatic color image. Both were taken using my Camera: #Leica246 #Photography #Trichromatic #BlackandWhitePhotography #ColorPhotography

Try to live your life such that your obituary doesn’t have the word “complicit” in it.

Went out this morning and got a few shots in. Two black and white and one built up with the Trichrome process for a color image. I am digging the #Leica #Monochrom and the #Trichrome process. If you zoom in on the color one, you can see some fringing which is a byproduct of the trichrome process.

Ohio… wow…

I’ve said about AI generated text “why should I bother reading something you didn’t bother writing”. This week I realized that I could use AI for those times when “why should I bother writing something you will not bother reading”

The “head of strategic futures” at OpenAI just went on an unhinged rant against social security sometimes I feel like these tech companies are actively trying to alienate as many normal people as possible

There is probably a dissertation in the relationship between Hee Haw going off the air in 93 and the almost immediate rise of right-wing talk radio. Correlation is not causation, but there are many interesting connections between the two.

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

My East Tennessee heart where my children lived and thrived on the Imagination Station free book program truly cannot handle the Dolly Parton news right now. Please do not make fun of me because I try so hard to be a cool cynic and not a celebrity worshiper, but I literally cried

Not sure what to make of this edit from Lightroom. Reminds me of that fad from the early 2000s where every picture was desaturated except for one color #photography #blackandwhite?

Photography in 2026 be like: "Here's a pic my phone took instead of calling my friend, like I told it do" - 10,000 likes. "Here I took time to setup lighting, take several views, post-process, but not to death." - crickets.
