If someone wanted to give me this Leica Q3 Monochrom full frame 60mp fixed 28mm f/1.7 I'd be happy to photograph with it but at nearly $8k,
I'll just continue goofing off with the Nikon Coolpix A
I think they missed their chance to plaster a big nameplate on the front

Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859 – 1937)
The Seine, 1902
Pioneering African American painter and first black student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The racism of American society drove Tanner to relocate to Paris in 1891, where he remained until his death in 1937

This is Minneapolis.
So damn proud of this place. Easily the largest group bike ride I've ever seen of people showing up for the Pretti-Good Memorial Ride. Huge thanks to all those who did logistical work, marshalled, and showed up for justice.

Found this Tower rangefinder camera with a Nikkor 50mm, made in Japan, at a thrift shop. As we were walking into the store my spouse asked, “So, what are you putting out there?”
“A Leica rangefinder.” Close enough.
