Music. Photography. Thoughts.
My camera which broke almost 2 weeks ago will be repaired at Olympus – it will be a heart-and-brain transplant (mainboard) which will cost about one third of a camera replacement, so it’s the reasonable thing to do.
Until then I can sometimes borrow a camera from Mitchie or from Zuleikha, so today I used 2 of my studio strobes and Mitchie’s E-M5 Mk2 to take this photo:
Thanks for viewing.
Wow – this is super interesting, because it brings together all these creative arts:
Thanks Estelle – this video and the one about Giant Steps brought you a new subscriber!
To my readers: you know I love both music *and* photography – thanks for your interest as well!
Here’s a recommended new album from my fellow Wikiloops musicians, just published yesterday by “WhiteDrum55”, a master drummer from the US of A:
Clicking on the image will lead you to Wikiloops where you can listen for free. Downloading for non-members was 2,40€ when I last looked, this will also give you a printable cover like you see on my albums.
I wrote a review on the album’s page.
Enjoy. I did, and I will enjoy it again.
Lots of work went into this one – and not only from the bass player:
Enjoy. And dance a little.
Someone on Wikiloops took my brush playing and finger snapping from the “Unicorn dance” track to start a new and funny template:
So except of myself who couldn’t be shown in it, the single musician so far is:
I’m curious if this will have some remixes. Hard to say, because it sounds almost complete (and like elevator music hahaha) 🙂
So I’m feeling honoured, thanks man! And thanks to anyone who listened to it! Try to finger snap over 3 minutes in front of a microphone, it ain’t that easy! 🙂
Awesome Spanish theme from Arnosolo, Jamlady, and Pewi – under which I just laid a bit of groundwork:
List of musicians, so far:
Thanks for the great jam, my friends, and thanks to you, dear readers, for listening.
Edit, from late Sunday evening:
After uploading that track, I realized that I had missed Robjol’s remix – so I did another upload after his:
And that makes the list of musicians to this one:
Thanks for listening again.
And here’s my newest musical instrument, photographed with Mitchie’s camera (my own one is sent for repair):
You can hear these brushes on the unicorn song from the last few posts (different versions).
Thanks for viewing.
“So I’ll shimmy if you like it or not”
Shi, in “Teach my unicorn to dance“
Here’s how:
Looks fun, hm? And it fits: “Shimmy” contains “Shi” 😉
And:
“We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. —Japanese proverb”
(found on Thom’s site)
Thanks for watching/listening.
So my camera is in Hamburg, at Olympus German headquarters to check what’s wrong, and to estimate how much a repair would cost.
And without borrowing any of my older cameras from Zuleikha who now has most of them (my E-520, my E-PL1, and Mitchie’s E-PL5), I still have what almost everyone has (and carries around, I normally don’t do that) – a “smart” phone with built-in camera.
In my case that’s Mitchie’s old Google Nexus 5 which she gave to me after I bought 5X models for her and for Zuleikha. So this evening I just grabbed that phone and took a photo of Mitchie’s:
Not too bad for a really small sensor 8MP device – if you don’t “pixel-peep” (and who in his or her right mind would do anything like that? 😉 ), it’s actually usable.
So now I’m waiting for Olympus Germany to tell me a number…
And as always, thanks for reading.
