I went on a photowalk with my friend Andrew today and got to try a really old Leica lens that he found in a thrift store recently. It was a Leitz Hektor 135mm f/4.5 and was probably made in the 1950s.
It’s remarkable how I can just attach this nearly 70 year old lens to my Leica M10, a modern digital camera made just a few years ago. I’ve read how Leica M maintains compatibility with the oldest products but today I got to try out. It just works!
Focusing was a bit tricky to start but I got the hang of it after a few photos.
Then I had to start “seeing” with this long focal length. That took a minute. I’m used to a 35mm or 50mm lens and this is very different.
Got some okay photos. I had no expectation to start composing anything worthwhile with this in an hour.
Can’t go wrong with a store window selfie though 😄

My second trial of Apple Music is coming to an end.
Still doesn’t feel like it is worth the switch from Spotify, so I will be cancelling. Also, as a result I have still no need for Apple One.

Hiking in Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge…
… we came across this 400 year old oak tree…
… with a giant branch that had broken off a while ago.

I’ve gotten sucked into Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir just like I got sucked into The Martian years ago. Even though, or perhaps because, the style and the main character feel very similar.

I was having mixed feelings about Season 2 of Ted Lasso but E5 removed all doubt. It is clear that the show is self aware, and I think they are the best when they are unabashedly joyous. I posit that E4 felt a bit weird because they don’t need a Christmas setting to manifest joy.
The full moon looked really pretty last night. This, however, is grease in a cast-iron pan.

I’m seeing a lot of discussion around Glass, and I want to add:
a) I like it for reasons I describe in this twitter thread.
b) I know some of the people behind it. They are good people and I trust their intention as described on their website.
P.S. I’m not affiliated with Glass.
