Bukaty is so good. I featured his work from Maine is a photo story a few years back: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo...
@kokogiak Those photos are truly wonderful.

My hand holds several small pieces of broken glass with a basil garden in the background.
Every year our basil garden gives up another handful of broken glass from years past. The amount has diminished each year, but putting in replacement timbers this year exposed some sections that had been covered for years.

I met Rien Poortvliet, the Dutch artist who painted this, once (he was a friend of my foster family) and he was pretty strange.

California Angels pitcher Nolan Ryan, 1972
I am Nolan Ryan. And my mom in the 80s was that chef.
Pitcher!
Watched him pitch in his last season, against Cleveland. I wasn’t much of a sports nut but I knew he was a legend, and it was great to be able to see him play.
“Or perhaps I simply understood, from the darkest corner of my soul, that these pancakes couldn't kill me because I was already dead.”

Photograph of an interior space, a living room but I can't imagine much living going on in here; it's all unblemished hard-looking leather upholstered sofas and chaise longe and love seats that look like catchers' mitts. A low marble coffee table that screams "this space will never, ever have children in it" sits in the foreground. A fireplace encased in concrete bricks sits in the background.

You’ve heard RJ but never this like this
I challenge anyone to figure out what time signature this is in - like there are parts that will stay in a 4/4 rhythm for a while, but then he keeps throwing 3/4 bars in there giving it a 7/8 feel - and yet it all feels seamless and effortless. LEGEND.
One of my all time favorite tunes.

Black cat with yellow eyes relaxing in a basket.
aka Inky
Possibly the sweetest, most affectionate cat we have ever owned. I hear this is often a trait of black cats.
#housepanther
A++ would stare into this void
ARTEMIS!!!!
@grant_mf we have the same experience with our void, Baby. She is the most social, friendly, aggressively charming cat i've ever met. I had no idea until we had her a while this is a thing.

“The clock sings
I count the hours
mechanically
Seven o’clock; twelve o’clock It’s all the same
I am not here
It is the mark of flesh
That I left behind when I departed
So as to know my place
Upon my return.”
Federico Garcia Lorca
A poem discovered 93 years after it was written.

Edit: fisherdah let me know in a comment below that the creator of this board company is incarcerated for some very heinous shit. I appreciate the callout, thank you.
We met Kim (pronounced "keem") on one of the Barcelona breakwaters yesterday. We saw him practicing wind surfing with his skateboard and immediately b-lined to ask if we could take some photos with him.
He talked with us for quite a while. He's a windsurfing instructor, ski instructor, and something else I can't remember. He's also 65 years old. I'd have guessed no older than 50.
I was immediately drawn to his board. I love the 80's board shapes. I asked him if it was an '85 (random guess), and he said it's from '82. I can't recall if he picked it up in California or Florida.
I submitted this for review today with the hopes it'd get picked up for the project, but it didn't, which isn't surprising. It doesn't really fit our brief. I wanted an upside down american flag to go up in an exhibit for the next year, though.

I'm really digging the way the wheels pop in the shadow.
I have a co-worker friend who goes by Quim and pronounced the same way, Keem. Full name is Joaquim. I wonder if this is another interpretation!
@ckoerner i had a reply typed up and then searched "joakim" and google reminded me i researched photographer Joakim Eskildsen. so i think you're spot on! his first name is probably "joakim".

@fisherdah wwwwhooooooaaaaaa that's wild, and very sad. i'm now glad this didn't get picked up for the exhibit. i had no idea. thank you.
I used to have that skateboard in yellow and neon green — my first skateboard, in fact. Also, yes, very sad.

@nikkuneko how did you do that?!?!

(just copy-paste from a font generator site!)
@ba Cavalier abuse of the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols Unicode block, pretty much. It’s poor form to do it anywhere someone might be using a screen reader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
@nikkuneko @bezt Cool! But I understand how that could mess with a screen reader.

i can smell this post
I love erasers, and I have too many, because I hate using them. "I'm caught in a trap, I can't walk out"
Have made many a race car out of Pink Pearls erasers and spent many hours racing it around various made up tracks doodled on desktops snd notebooks to crowd noises and hyped announcers echoing within my own skull.
I am all about clicker white stick erasers in various sizes.
That Pelikan design ❤️

A picture of the underside of a wireless mouse with a ridiculous X-shaped arrangement for either one AA battery or one AAA battery
Source: https://chaos.social/@nblr...
It only takes one battery, AA or AAA - but not both.
This is...ingenius!
@niicholas Ah, you're correct! I have duly updated the alt text to reflect this.
I don't get the hate. It's pretty brilliant: You have to have power for the wireless mouse, most of the mouse is air -- why not double the battery options so the user isn't stranded if they can only find one or the other?
There are perhaps more elegant ways to allow a user to use either an AAA or AA battery, but this falls squarely into "if it's stupid but it works it ain't stupid" territory.
I’m writing this with heavy mouse…

An eerie scene: a blurry gray landscape with a crooked road; a stormy sky filled with heavy fluorescent green clouds; and a greenish-white lighting bolt jumping from one side of the sky to the other. Balanced on the lightning bolt is a tightrope walker, walking along the lightning, holding a long balancing pole. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

photo of a very small plant pot, trowel, and shovel on an outstretched palm with a very small greenhouse in the background. the shovel and trowel are about the length of the person’s pinky finger.
i have a very brown thumb but i am trying to make plants grow with a Tiny Gardening™️ set that a friend gifted to me years ago. i have tiny purple basil sprouts peeking through today!
your move, @wombatman70
@tweedlydo Hahaha I love it!!! I really wanted to have half of our basil garden be purple basil this year because it’s so pretty, but we so prefer sweet basil that we kept it 100% sweet this year again (one year we did half Thai basil which was fun, but we used SO little of it that in the end we realized it’s best if we stick to sweet), so I’m living vicariously through your tiny li’l garden! Keep up the tiny good work!
Hooray you can do it!

My favorite frame from today's shoot. This is Nico. Nico saw me photographing my kids at the skatepark back in August or September and approached me asking if I'd like to do some photos together. We shot a few frames in that park and I took his portrait. Really warm, kind human.
A couple of months later I reached out and asked if he'd be interested in doing some portraiture for one of my classes. He immediately agreed. We did some wild light painting and acrobatic stuff (he used to do Capoeira). It was a really fun shoot and we agreed to do more in the future.
Jump to about a week ago. I was talking to my team about maybe getting in touch with him for a shoot on the coast for our project. The very next day he reaches out to let me know he's back from Argentina. It's either a universe thing or he's the life force behind targeted ads.
Today's shoot was so much fun. We emulated some iconic shots from J. Grant Brittain and played around on these breakwater blocks. He's not fearless but close to it. Very balletic, yoga-etic, punketic, etc etc.
Among many talents, he's a tattoo artist as well. I plan to work with him on a piece soon.

that's awesome, and a great connection you made. nice when the good ones just pop up in the wild.
this is a really lovely pic; the composition is exquisite, and i especially love that you resisted the urge to directly center him. really beautiful color palette too. that gentle gradient from the sky down to the sea is *chef's kiss*
unsolicited advice from someone who is obviously not as good a photographer as you, but part of me would want to either push the shadows deeper so he's a bit more of a silhouette, or blow out the shadows a bit so we can see the detail of his tats and musculature.

adding to the love: the angles you chose to include in frame with the concrete barriers are just fascinating. contrasting him against this sea of angry triangles that the concrete barricades make up is such a cool concept
@nikkuneko thank you so much! I agree about the shadows. I’m going to tweak that a bit.
So beautiful and iconic. Hard to stop gazing at this!
Agreed, really great composition -- the lines of the breakers all point toward Niko and his board, which echo those forms back.
This is terrific.
Extraordinary shot and story. This rules.
Thanks y'all!
