Up early with my coffee and the tree.

Drove eleven hours today. Pretty good trip. How’s everybody doing?

Here’s another view of downtown from my last quick photo walk. I like this slightly warm film preset jpeg mode.

I got out for another evening photo walk around downtown yesterday, and found some nice evening light.

Pizza tonight: Brussels sprouts and oyster mushrooms! This was a good one. My gluten-free toaster-oven crust continues to do All Right.

I spent a lot of this week toting my X-T30 around the house, just shooting things I liked. Then I did some cabinet cleaning and handled the old X100S for a few minutes. Wow; the X100S still feels incomparable. That viewfinder is still so beautiful to use.

I’m also putting together a handful of these little clicky buddies for stocking stuffers, using some spare switches and keycaps, and these adorable little keychain PCBs from keeb.io.

My annual photo gifts are complete! Cards (btw, there’s no good stock card for the mid-pandemic holiday season; “joy” seems like way more than I can hope for); calendar for my parents (I’ve been making this since 2003); and, this year, a secret new photo book for my ❤️. ✅ 📷 🍻

I’ve had this bottle of World Wide Stout in the fridge for, I think, two years. Today, puttering around in the kitchen together, seemed like a good day to crack it open. It was delicious.
