photos and imagery. mostly. They speak quietly, Obscure but not riddles, Sound without voice, In meter without rhyme, ripples of mind

Been watching @effinbirds.com antics for a while now, and while I’m too cheap to spend money apparently my spouse is a fan 😎

A little bit of silliness, and also testing out the 27mm lens a patron sent me.

A grade-and-crop of the image I posted yesterday, because it deserved one and I couldn’t. But after I did it, I realized something: It’s not the same image at all. Showing the shadows changes the vibe. More moment, less performance of one. // #photography

A poem for today. I feel like it’s a pile of stereotypes. There is probably some truth to that. But at least they’re used in a less stereotypical way.
i follow

 She walks in the light of a thousand suns,
 draped in smoke.
 as smoke. the fire, hidden in the murk,
 burns.
 i follow.
 i am tiny in Her diffuse shadow.
 i shy from the light She carries forth.
 protected by shadow in her black glow.
 as a mouse, hidden, i continue.
 as a mouse, hidden, i exist.
 and if She makes mistakes,
 She stops, confused,
 chaos looming, ever closer,
 and i point, mouse in shadow,
 to show the way home.

Another in-memory-of for today. This is Sherlock. My childhood cat. Died in 1998; I was out of town and he waited. The photo was originally Tri-X on Agfa paper, printed in a high school darkroom. The background is a bunk bed in the house I grew up with. My parents moved out of it soon after.
B&W image of a tabby with a white streak from his nose to his neck, on the lower bunk of a bunkbed against a blank wall.

So I have this old Mini PC. An Atom z8350. Never good, now very bad. It’s around RPi4 performance. Maybe. It used to run my home automation, but I decommissioned it a while ago. I was thinking “thin client” but then I failed to find the power supply. 5V but an odd size plug. INT: 🤣 DEX: 😅 WIS: 🤪
A micro-B usb connector bodged onto the side of a mini pc, plugged into a standard USB cable. And waaaay too much space cut out for it. Measure once, cut twice. 

Yes, it works.
