It’s going to be a pretty chilling moment when all of these unqualified and corrupt Trump nominees fly through confirmation. The last time wasn’t great, but the nominees mostly had some connection or experience that they could argue was relevant, but these people are next-level bad.
I met these two very nice individuals, Ebony and Phoenix, on the train ride downtown. I love this photo I took of them.

Thinking of getting a GoPro I can strap to my chest when doing photo walks and then edit them together into little YouTube videos showing the shots I took. Maybe a cool idea?
Trying out using MetaImage instead of exiftool for tagging my scanned film negatives. It seems to work okay. I need to figure out a way to automate the process.
What’s in your macOS dock on your Macintosh computer? Trying to decide what to remove/add.
I just learned you can insert spacers in the macOS dock. Not sure how I’ll like it, but I’ll definitely give it a try. #macOS chrispennington.blog/blog/add-…
Today I learned that Candace Owen’s sincerely does not believe in the moon landing. What a dunce.
I like this photo not just despite it being out of focus, but possibly because it is out of focus.

I turn 40 tomorrow, so I plan on saying “my 30s were an era of working very hard – and playing hard too” to excuse anything shitty I’ve said or done previous to that date.
Sometimes on my Macintosh, I run defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock to reset my dock to its factory state and then set it up again from scratch. Am I weird or do other people do this?
Took this photo walking down the sidewalk in Saint John’s, N. Portland, the other day. I like that there’s something a little off-kilter feeling about it.

I realized at some point that if you ever wonder how someone can afford to do something creative full-time or constantly travel for it, the answer is usually that they’re rich or subsidized — and effectively doing cosplay.
If I ever wondered how well air purifiers work, the amount of dust on my film negatives when I run it versus when I don’t indicates that the answer is “very well.”
I have a friend with 10 years of experience working on games up to the AAA level doing concept art, UI design, and animation. If I know anyone who would be interested in hiring such a person, get in touch and I can connect you.
Starting a new macOS project on Monday! Need to follow-up with a bunch of other inquiries as well.
Ride hailing apps like Uber and Lyft and rental apps like AirBNB were a mistake. Cities should have regulated them out of existence before they could gain a foothold.
My hot take is that ordering food on DoorDash or similar constantly is pretty wasteful and expensive, but that getting groceries on Instacart is a pretty good deal if you buy their membership.
The ultimate hidden truth of the world. I like this one. It’s a little Friedlander.

For shooting concerts, I’m thinking of bringing two cameras so I can get a couple of different focal lengths without changing lenses. My thought is my 35mm Summicron for my Leica, and my 105mm Nikkor for my Nikon. I’d bring a 50mm as well just in case. Opinions?
I switched from Kindle to Kobo, and I think I like it better? The hardware might be slightly less refined, but everything else is better.
I don’t know for sure how Steve would have comported himself in the Trump era, but I kind of wish we could have seen it.
Lloyd Center mall is less dead than I expected. I’d say it’s only about half dead. I could see them redoing the facade to look less foreclosed and doing some weird stuff in there like an indoor farmers market or something. #pdx
I mean, there are better programmers than me who don’t know the first thing about C or pointers or any of that, and I’m sure better photographers who only shoot in auto modes. That doesn’t mean it’s not still a useful exercise to do those things.
Much like how learning to program in C requires you to understand how memory works, using entirely manual cameras has forced me to really understand how focus, exposure, and metering work. I think that’s worthwhile and makes me a better photographer, even if I use more featureful cameras later.
