Twilight (210/365)

Long day, but a good day. No chance of the Kodak Snapic review today; I’m just too tired. Today was a good 1000-yard swim at the gym, then I dove in with both feet and developed two rolls of color film (C-41): a roll of Kodak Portra 400 and a roll of Ilford Vintage Tone 400...

Light From Above (209/365)

This was such a quick shot; I regret not framing it better. In Silvertone, it looks pretty good.

Had a doc appointment for my bi-annual FAA physical today. Then spent the rest of the day developing a roll of Tri-X, scanning it, and converting it.

Hopefully, I can get a post up about it tomorrow. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and am stunned at the old-school grainy beauty of Tri-X even shot through a cheapo Kodak Snapic camera. My wife had no idea what I was doing, and she came into the office while I was converting photos, looked at the monitor, and said, “What is that? It’s beautiful, just so classic. It reminds me of photos from my childhood.” (She is 59).

Been reading "Building Secure and Reliable Systems" and "The Site Reliability Workbook" again. Both are highly recommended when you're working in the DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering world. Both books are available for free online, too.

You Have To Go Further Than That! (208/365)

Have you ever had those days? Feel like you’ve walked a mile, only to find out ⤴️. Click for Stray Pixels & a Film Journey Update Spent some time today setting things up in the spare bathroom, making a “task card” of the process, and dry-running it to make sure I haven’t missed something. It’s always worth taking the extra time; I learn something each time. The crazy problem I have right now in the Summer is my water temp. My cold running water is at 34° C, and I need my chemicals and wash water around 20° C. So, I’ve put a 3-gallon jug of water in the fridge and will mix it with warm water to get my desired temp. Kind of crazy. It’s all kind of exciting. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the first roll done.

Sleeping Giant (207/365)

Crater Lake in Silvertone.

Crater Lake last erupted 6,600 years ago but is still considered dormant and may remind us who’s boss whenever it chooses. It’s the deepest lake in the U.S., at 1,949 ft (594 m) deep.

Shot and processed on iPhone.

I hope today brought you a little laughter and lots of smiles.

Bit of a cheat today, this pic was taken a few days ago. Wasn't really out today. Fresh pictures tomorrow! :)

Ripped Earth (206/365)

Good day on the photography front. All the shots today were shot and processed on the iPhone. Had a nice 4-mile walk around Boise today and was able to shoot two rolls of film, as I need some “test” rolls to make sure my developing process is sound. Hopefully next week I’ll get my first black & white rolls developed. Today was my first day walking around with the Kodak Snapic. I liked it. It’s very small and light, fits nicely in your pocket, and certainly small enough not to cause attention while shooting pictures. I’ll post the pics when I get them developed and scanned. May we live in less interesting times. Four more shots in Stray Pixels. Click for Stray Pixels

Made some Potato & Mushroom al Forno today and it tasted really good.

Cooking in the new kitchen is so much fun, especially compared to the old kitchen.

One of the good things about getting up so early is seeing sights like these. A good start to the day.
