I did a thing yesterday

A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.
You got to Wowsville! At least in my estimation!
DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.

square instagram photo, somewhat low res: OP (left) sitting on a couch, hunched over a nylon string guitar, with one side of a stereo pair of mics in front of him. to his right, a second person fallen asleep on a pile of mic cases on the other side of the couch. behind them is a studio sound diffuser on the wall
something coming down the pipeline, thought i’d let MLTSHP know about it first.
a few months ago, when i moved to a new laptop, i found an intriguing session bounce, labeled only “windmills - nick - acoustic”.
it turned out to be a long, uncut stereo recording of me in 2015, noodling through some song ideas for the windmills drummer while we took a break from recording a full band track. (photographic evidence above; i lulled him to sleep)
in between the noodling, the rambling, and the joking, there were a few songs i played all the way through in somewhat-coherent form. they were rough, but at least somewhat complete, so i thought “why not release ‘em?"
god bless my friend dereck, who engineered the original sessions. (https://www.quiethouserecording.com/) he not only found the original session files in his archives, but he was able to extract them, do some basic mixing/mastering, and turn them into usable tracks in less than an hour. bless him, he’s too good.
so! next week, probably on the next bandcamp friday, i’ll release a few scruffy tracks. listen for free, pay a few bucks for a download if you like ‘em. i’ll consider it motivation to work on new music, which i’ve been kind of missing (and lightly dabbling with again) lately.
will post when they’re out in the wild, but you can keep an eye on my page if you like:

I might have to contact the artist and try to purchase it.

Character poster for Flattop (William Forsythe) for the 1990 motion picture 'Dick Tracy' (dir. Warren Beatty).
Make up your mind!! You sound like “Eat lettuce mayonnaise!” Or mebbe use a freakin’ comma ffs…..
Maybe he wants to manufacture high-quality electrical connectors with a high current capacity, where the lead content lubricates the copper and makes it easier to machine.

Jewelry photo session BTS

Working through my _deep_ backlog of rolls to develop from the past year of the masters. This is from a jewelry photo shoot project.
I think I put too little developer in the tank, or the rodinal is worn out (or both). This batch turned out weird in a good way. Lots of weird streaks and solarization effects.
Camera nerdery: Minolta XD-11, Kentmere 400 pushed to 800. I don't remember what lens but probably the 45mm f2, which is my favorite.

I’ve wanted to try kentmere for a long time; love how it looks pushed a stop.
@nikkuneko I picked up a bulk roll a bit under a year ago and I'm just getting to the end of it. It does great at +1-2 stops. I believe I have some coming up that I've even pushed to 6400. I'll be sure to post when those get developed!
It's a great film and seems about as robust as HP5 when it comes to hamfisted development practices.
