Martin Wolf (FT) on how the world see the USA (right now):

'What is far clearer now... is that the US is no longer a credible world leader. If it can elect this man twice, it has lost the plot. Why would it not elect someone even worse? Such a country is incapable of providing reliable global hegemony. What it provides instead is an unpredictable wrecking ball'...

and hence, as I've remarked before, the slow but sure pivot away from the USA as an economic partner is well underway!

AI is a genuinely useful research tool, especially now Google is so useless. I use it to help research all sorts of things and then ask for the sourcing so it can be independently verified. That's all very helpful. But the use of it for the creative work itself is a red line.

Оновив застосунок з підтримкою iOS18 та 2-ма новими фічами.

Ви можете робити нотатки по друку, зберігати фото відбитків та користуватися таймером. Таймер повністю на чорному OLED без жодних статус барів та з безпечними цифрами. Сам користуюсь, ще не засвітив фотопапір. Таймер може мати кілька кроків із нагадуванням (корисно для dodging&burning). Додав WashTime для відбитка, щоб нагадувало, коли завершити промивання відбитку, особливо, якщо це барит.

Беріть та користуйтеся!

I barely made it under the wire for #MonochromeMarch (zine permission granted), which I've very much enjoyed. Glad I was able to shoot and develop in March, next year I'll be more prepared (I won't, but it's fun to pretend).

One of these things is not like the other…😅

I also reduced my dev time by 15%. With #XTOL I didn’t really have to worry about that switching to rotation, but #HC110 seems a lot more sensitive to it based on the other negs I’ve scanned so far being super dense. It looks to me like I could have reduced it further - but it’s hard to tell given these were shots of dark mountains and bright skies. The two shots where it appears I clearly metered on the mountains look the best so far, but I am still looking forward to seeing how these scan.

I need to go take some pictures of some familiar spots with this film and developer combo to be a better benchmark. #LargeFormat #DevelopYourOwn

Second time loading went better - only dropped two sheets in the dark bag…

Hot take: a signed PDF does not a risk control make.

There will always be people who understand their part in a larger process and apply critical thinking, and people that just blindly follow a procedure step by step. Signing a PDF just becomes another step that the people who don’t pay attention do while not paying attention.

The centimeter wide rock layer that records the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary that ended the rein of the dinosaurs. (It's the brown layer between the coal & light claystone layers.) It was created by the fallout of a 12km impactor that created the 250km wide Chicxulub crater offshore of the Yucatán Peninsula. The layer contains shocked quartz & an anomalous concentration of the element iridium marking an extraterrestrial impact.
