Music. Photography. Thoughts.
Although I currently have a small abscess on my lower lip, I still took a photo of myself today – here it is:
I used both a studio strobe and a speedlight, cropped the resulting image into a 5:4 format, and used an Ilford HP5+ black & white film simulation to get this.
And as always, thanks for viewing.
Picture of our cat looking through the dorm window, with edge filter and in cine format (2.35:1)
Like always, thanks for viewing.
Today is Bella’s 3rd birthday. So far, I’ve got one photo of her hanging out in her cat tree hanger which she seems to like lately:
I wanted to get one using my studio strobe, but she didn’t want to get on that table – so from there I only have a selfie:
Had to get new batteries for my remote senders & receivers for those studio strobes, and currently I’m also charging the ones for the speedlight (a manual one made by Yongnuo). So maybe more later.
And as always, thanks for viewing.
As always, thanks for viewing.
Took this one of Bella some 9 days ago, while she was resting on one of our sofas in front of the piano:
And yesterday I took another photo of Cookie, the male Birman neighbours’ cat (they call him Samson):
And as always, thanks for viewing.
As always, thanks for viewing. Be safe, and don’t move too fast…
Richard, founder of Wikiloops and host of the 2024 members’ meeting just wrote his official report about the meeting which took place last month, and to which I also attended. Read, see, and hear all about it on Wikiloops. You can also watch the videos on Youtube, and/or see the photos in Diana’s gallery. Here are two of these photos:
Some of the attendees who were either late or had left the day before already had to be “‘shopped”, as they say, into the picture – you probably see it because of the very different lighting on some of the faces.
The videos have very different maximum resolutions sadly, from 480p to 1080p, and for my taste I’m a bit over-represented in the first one, the second one shows me playing a tune from a lead sheet which I hadn’t seen ever before, so excuse my uncertainty at some times (for instance on when the outro was about to start, couldn’t exactly read this). Oh, and before you ask: no; playing from lead sheet or from notation isn’t what’s representative of the “normal” jamming – but I’m always glad if people put up the chords to their songs anyway. And I love playing OliVBee‘s songs. And the ones from Moonchild of course 🙂
Anyway, enjoy, and like always, thanks for viewing and for reading.
Today exactly one year ago, Bella moved in with us. I hope she still likes it here…
Like always, thanks for viewing.
Took this short before sunset on Saturday. It’s the village where the 2024 Wikiloops members’ meeting took place, and Richard’s “Barnadise” is pretty much in the middle of the photo:
Taken with my Pixel 6a phone on my way back from the last walk over the hill with the “Hubertuskapelle”.
As always, thanks for viewing.
