You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the streets You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat With your eyes closed Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking And after a while, you can work on points for style Like the club tie and the firm handshake A certain look in the eye, an easy smile You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in Pink Floyd, Dogs lyrics. Just makes me think of bankers.

On a 6 hour train journey, luckily its air conditioned but still rough. What's the longest train journey you've done? Mine is 9 hours.

I feel like mobile phone cameras are getting worse. I was looking at pictures taken on a galaxy s24 and an old s9 and huawei p20 pro. On the new s24, everything looks oddly smeared and melted plastic like when viewing in close detail. Fine detail is lost. It also seems to be less flexible with options to turn off all the post processing. On the older phones, things look more natural, yes they are grainy and not as high resolution, but easier to work with in Photoshop. Why is this?

A star wars girl. This was a really fun shoot. #photography

I just can't get my head round people using any cloud services (that they don't own or manage themselves). I keep getting pestered to share stuff to google or Microsoft, or one of a dozen supposedly private ones, but I refuse. I know you can encrypt everything first, but its still better to buy a few hard drives and share your own files, I think anyway.

X has those "verify your age" flags all over the place now, its really annoying. Have they done this for every country now or just EU? I don't use X except for lurking, now that's useless, bye X/twitter

Using bitchat today, its OK, took a while to find the person sitting literally next to me, but once it did then it worked fine. This is going to be really useful once its developed a bit more.

They say in photography "anything that doesn't add to the picture takes away from the picture". Basically this means simplify where possible, and applies to more than just photography.
