as a treat, here's the worst photo of the year so far that i still enjoy (i was trying to get used to the autofocus). there's something so funny about buying decal letters to spell out the name of the truck, which the manufacturer has already done for you
a Toyota Tacoma with a decal that says "TOYOTA TACOMA" and another decal of, like, a tiger or something with a trail of flames

i've gone through all of my photos this year and this one from February is the the most "i can't tell if i like it or not". it's not making the Best Of collection but something about it still compels me... #coolpicturesbynicky

it drives me a little bit insane rooting for the team Kirk did while one of his friends plays on the team but if i wanted to avoid conservatives in baseball, i would have to stop watching baseball. it's crazy Shaw said this though. maybe focus on not being an automatic out first, bud
"One of the last things [Kirk] said to me is, 'Please, sir, save Chicago,'" Shaw recalled. "We're going to do that. We're going to save Chicago from horrible crime."

a guy in a tesla honked at me because i was a tiny bit in the street taking this picture. i moved aside and he rolled down his window to ask, with furrowed brow, "why take pictures of nothing?". he drove off before i could answer maybe the stupidest question i've ever been asked #coolpicturesbynicky

oh hell yeah they got Italian Death Note on the criterion channel
The Machine That Kills Bad People
Directed by Roberto Rossellini • 1952 • Italy
Starring Sergio Amidei, Gennaro Pisano, Marilyn Buferd
Roberto Rossellini blends neorealism with fantasy in this offbeat comic fable, one of the titan director's most unique and overlooked works. In a small fishing village on the Amalfi Coast, a stranger claiming to be Saint Andrea (or is he really a demon?) bestows a self-righteous photographer's camera with the power to kill
"evil-doers" simply by photographing an existing picture of them. Initially, the indignant photographer uses his new weapon to do away with the wealthy and corrupt who misuse their power-but soon he falls prey to the very amoral selfishness that he supposedly despises.

i've been struggling with syncing things on tape lately and this quote has freed me from caring about perfect synchronization. yeah, what am i some fucking army loser?
screenshot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trout_Mask_Replica#Recording: "Instead of singing while monitoring the instrumental tracks over headphones, he heard only the slight sound leakage through the studio window.[21] As a result, the vocals are only vaguely in sync with the instrumental backing; when asked later about synchronization, he remarked, "That's what they do before a commando raid, isn't it?"[22]"

I remember that Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg was the first time a President was photographed. Now it’s John Adams I think. Photography was invented around 1861-1862 in my timeline. They keep pushing it back though.

i made some cyanolikes today (it's like a cyanotype but not at all, i just had the blue turned up on my camera. i merely turned up the blue, you see) #coolpicturesbynicky nickyflowers.com/blog/2026/po...
a reflection of part of my face rests above a plaque that says:

The true meaning of life

We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.
