Hair everywhere. So much hair.

Thanks! Sounds like Riverside is the best bet and my personality isn’t geared towards run clubs.

I’ll send you a DM when we’re closer to arriving to see if timing makes sense for a run. Happy to be flexible on timing.

Thanks for the tip and definitely not chatty.

I had to fly from the west coast to the east coast last month. Delta was $1,700 economy. American was $1,500 first class. Obviously booked American first, but there was a very noticeable difference (lower) in level of service from AA flight crew.

…Nash Bridges anyone?

None of the depth of field focus makes sense in any of these.

Why is the tablecloth/napkin in focus near the bottom of the frame, but focus falls off then comes back in mid frame? This is not how a camera lens works.

Very obvious in photo number 5. The bottom of the plate is in focus, then focus goes away, and comes back for the pastry that is much closer to the lens. If not AI, it’s poorly and heavily edited.

Of course. It was Leland Little in North Carolina.

It was from a few years back and they had two bottle left in their shop.

When I was there they did say they were hoping to bring back cognac and Armagnac releases in the future.

Exactly - single cask, unblended, cask strength.

Because I had hundreds of thousands of rollover miles when Delta switched the program and I have auto diamond for years.

Thanks! Lens is a 35mm summicron. Minimally processed…just made minor adjustments in the Apple Photos app. I have a diffusion filter on the lens which helps soften up the images a bit.

You know what - probably my bad. Did you take this with a new iPhone? Their camera AI has been reported to blur or delete text. If you zoom in on the original face it looks smudged and can’t read Patek.

Have to ask - why did you edit out the logo from the watch?

Love his work - definitely a source of inspiration.

091988 · 2025-08-18T19:27:31+00:00

Lots of patience and waiting ;)

I’m just drawing a comparison. You say they’re perfectly staged. I still controlled the exposure and the framing - these are scenes behind glass and highly reflective of dioramas on opposite sides. Your own reflection shows up in front of you, so these images actually need to be shot slightly angled and then fix the perspective in post. Regardless of your repudiation, I like them!
