Paying tribute to the beauty of the Apple Xserve. We have a rack in our datacentre I usually think of as our legacy rack. There are six still present, though they are all powered down. Two or three had their backplanes swapped from raid to passthru so they could run ESXi. I have another 3 at home but similarly they are all powered down. They eat a lot of power and make a lot of noise but I remember them purring away in the old MDF running ALL THE SERVICES back when I was in highschool as a tech TA.

Saw some beautiful colours from the kitchen window and felt compelled to capture it. Unedited JPEGs from Olympus E-M1 Mark II with Canon 50mm F1.4 S.S.C. film camera lens.

Late night drive with the family to Dick's Drive-In for burgers, fries and milkshakes followed by a trip further south to Krispy Kreme for donuts. My lovely wife was at the wheel so I got to take photos thru the rain covered windows. Photos were taken with my Olympus E-M1 Mark II paired with a vintage Canon FD 50mm F1.4 S.S.C. film camera lens. It is my favourite lens. Most photos were taken at F2 to keep things adequately sharp while still allowing for enough light to reach the sensor. Shutter speed mostly hovered between 1/80th and 1/400th of a second with auto ISO. Krispy Kreme Drive-Thru was ISO 6400 for reference. For the colour photos I leveraged the color creator feature to either give some warmth or a cool liminal vibe but tried to keep it reasonable. Tried to emulate something like Cinestill 800T. All photos are straight out of camera jpegs with a white border added in Lightroom Mobile. Hope you all like them.
