63 years ago, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time ... the rest is history ...


This is from the White Album - which in turn was how I first got in touch with the Beatles; even though my father wasn't into their music (or any modern pop music, for that matter) at all, he had bought it because he felt it was a milestone ... He was right.

The other reason he bought it: To commemorate that I had been born and lived ...

To a friend for coffee this morning. She’s a GoT fan :)

Another mod to my work bench, is not visible here. It is a ledge sawed into the bench, under the white frame with the screw clamp on the left. It is at a right angle to the vice face, with the other white piece in it. Here "dry fitted" to check for accuracy, before glue-up. There will be no metal fasteners added. But, a wood spline will be added. Show that later.

In the parking lot of a local supermarket, there was a relatively ancient (late 80's) and weatherbeaten Isuzu Trooper parked. Having formerly owned one of these hardy and magnificent 4-wheel-drive chariots, I got into a conversation with the owner, who was quite proud of the custom hood ornament - an 'action figure' of a superhero - which he had appended to the front of his vehicle.

He graciously allowed me to take a picture or two of it.

The parking deck. The structure on top is an array of solar panels.

I keep coming back to look at this photograph, Steve. I really like it.

It also reminds me of what a cool camera the E-P1 was, and still is. And what an underrated lens that 17mm pancake is.
I may have to give in to the nagging itch, and look into acquiring another E-P1 - or possibly one of its near-clone-siblings, the E-P2 or the E-P3, one of these days. Truly great cameras, for many types of photography.
