OK, will do, thanks. Seems odd though, the internet being global, and all that.

Well, that's frustrating. Decided to go via Bookshop.org, and opted to get the ebook as I'm Down Under. Having selected a particular bookshop to get the benefit, I'm being asked for my address, but it won't accept my Aussie one, and won't proceed without an address. Any advice?

I'd have gone to my local bookshop with your ISBN, but they were kicked out by a callous landlord. Mind you, there is another local shop, where an author colleague held a launch promo. Might ask them.

Thanks. I'd seen the list, but wanted to check if any one was better than the others.

I'm afraid I can't find any fundamental sorrow. Payback.

Gallan nhw fynd yn y bin.

You, Sir, play harddice.

Near-vertical auroral rays set against the W-shaped constellation, Cassiopeia. The sky overall is muted shades of violet fading to black above.

I'd love to have the merest hint of aurora. In fact, understated Edinburgh aurora has a lot to be said for it.

Right clatty?

Hi Miranda. I'm in Australia; what's the best way to buy one of your books, to give you the greatest benefit?

Solid legend.

I'll see your silly offside, and raise you an eagle.

If I had 28k to burn, I'd seriously consider buying this for Herself.

I've been very absent from here, and from photography, for quite a while. Your cyanotypes always give me a lift though 🩵

And the pace of delivery, being naturally fairly slow, with every syllable typically given equal weight, lends itself to robust critique, as if being carefully considered in delivery.

That just looks like the whole film is fogged, which I guess you'd remember doing. Manufacturing fault?

Never heard of Kiki Pan, but unless there's something really odd about it, it should work, like with everything else.

My professional life, eons ago, required precise process control and standardisation over many years. In my private life, I didn't much care about which materials I used, except for practicality. I settled on HC-110 for ease of use, then Caffenol when the HC-110 died. Caffenol works, beautifully.

Onya.

A half-frame camera lying on a glass shop counter.

Sadly, the meter doesn't work on this, but it's otherwise in great condition.

Scanning was even more frustrating than usual, with the scanner choosing fairly arbitrary cropping bounds unless I just laid the negs on the glass—then, poor focus.

Meh. Think I'll sit and eat worms. 2/2

The front ends of three cars, seen from the side, in a covered car park. The tones are dark, with the tarmac appearing almost black.

Finally took the Fujica Half for a run, and I think that might be my last outing with film. My thermometer and hanging clips had become separated from the rest of my dev kit, and I can't be bothered any more.

Anyway, here's the first frame, and the only one with any merit.

I salute your mum.

This is an extreme interpretive dance performance, rich in allusion and allegory, telling the story of the Highland Clearances.

Whiskey label: "Proper No. Twelve".

Trying a different whisky tonight, this time an Irish whiskey. The label says it's "Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in your favourite cocktail." As opposed to what? Misting the toilet odours away? Poured over your vintage insoles? Dripped into your fish tank?

Leave your suggestions below.

You win, today 🏆

Grazie.

Portable, you say? Bello.

Yeah... this was impressive to see. #percussion #tabla #musicalinstrument YouTube video by DavidAsherBrown

There's a pub somewhere around here that, instead of a chook raffle, has started offering a 20-litre can of diesel as the prize, and the punters love it.

Just about as good as it gets, hereabouts :)
