Beware Robot-Women being used as bait.
A panel from The Eternaut. We see the backs of three men who are watching a group of people down the street. At the top of the frame it says "YES, WE HAD BEEN LED INTO A TRAP..." while the middle man says "ROBOT-MEN!" and the dude on the right says "THE ROBOT-WOMAN WAS BAIT..."

Preceded by the first performance of Metal Skirt Sound Sculpture since 1979 and the audience definitely didn't know what to make of it.
The back of Ellen Fullman she's walking around wearing a skirt made of folded metal.

1989 Jack as Joker smilingly brightly in a purple suit, green shirt, and purple and green tie. So dapper.

Two microphones on stands in front of bookshelves. They are an SE V7 & a Cascade VinJet.

Still thinking about that @lalitree.bsky.social set from Friday night. Multiple discussions since within our band about how the vulnerability of their music changed our set for the better.
Three people playing music in front of a white wall plus some audience members. A violinist, a cellist/vocalist, and a double bassist/vocalist.

Every time I see boxcars I wonder how long it will be until they're moving large numbers of humans towards extermination again.
A line of boxcars curves into the distance behind some chain link fence. POV is from the top looking down on the train.

This guy lives in my house. On permanent loan from the husband of a former neighbor who passed nearly 10 years ago.
GRAS KEMAR binaural dummy. It's a full torso, head, shoulders, and arm kind of thing. In front of it are my double bass, an amp, a camera bag, and a mic stand.
