These are photos, just very heavily processed and layers of fountain pen ink in water or on wet paper.
I take my hat off to daughter no. 1’s skill. She described this as a “bored doodle”, basically a scene from the Gotham TV show with the addition of Kate Kane (some of that means nothing to me 🤣).
Your other national drink. What Irn Bru is to Scotland, Kinnie is to Malta.
Today’s ‘EDC’.
Snacking doesn’t get any more ‘Maltese’ than this!
My word for 2022. It’s just a reminder for good habits I wish to develop this year.
I like to think I am someone who will research the perfect office bag, buy it and then use it till it falls apart. I am not that person!
I had to declare ‘Instapaper bankruptcy’ at the weekend. The saved articles that survived the cull are genuinely interesting and the service is now actually usable again.
Old dead dudes in the Signet Library. They make a nice cuppa tea though!
Yesterday’s walk.
Rewatched Pleasantville tonight. It still gets ★★★★☆
Smailholm Tower in the Scottish Borders. A photo taken at this was time of year one blisteringly cold morning.
I enjoyed the exercise and will certainly do it again in 2022.
Today’s ironic find while searching through our bookcases.
Daughter #2 was really looking forward to SpiderMan tonight. Crowded cinema, no distancing and few masks so she decided to leave. I applaud her.
(this is in Scotland btw).
Too many cheery colour photos recently…
The badges.
We try to get a new Christmas tree decoration every year. How could I resist…
Tonight’s badly-poured beer is a lovely refreshing bramble saison by Dimple Things Fermentations.
I had some photos from my Leica Q2 Monochrom printed up to just below A2 for competition. The guy said “the quality from your Leica Q2 Mono is sublime” and I agree. The prints are amazing and photos really come alive when you hold them in your hands or see them on a wall.
Over the course of 2022 I want to learn to spell ‘turquoise’ with confidence!
Ever since the girls were wee I’ve made a holiday videa each year with background music. Every time I hear the playlist it takes me off to other locations and happy times.
My stainless steel whisky tumbler looks like something from Blade Runner and is reassuringly solid at 800g, with whisky added.
Yesterday I learned that putting film photographs into competition is a bad idea. The judge may mark you down for things such as the “black and white conversion that’s a little too muted.”
It was expired black and white film.
I’ve been using the beta of Omnifocus for iOS and occasionally struggle with the ‘discoverability’ of the UI.
