Saw a rare photo floating about on here. Vincent Price alongside Anna May Wong, Frederic Tozere and Mackay Morris for the 1937 stage production of "Turandot". The posted original was cropped greatly. Found the wider shot on a Russian account. Expanded and colourised by me. I was bored.

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.

"Oh, hi, Simon. You look stressed"
"Knackered, Dave. Just got back from Dubai. Geneva next."
"Must be nice"
"Nah. 29 business trips this year. I hardly live here anymore. I'm a stranger even at home"

I received an email at work that immediately went into the 'to persue later' folder. If you're aggressive, demanding, insulting, you go into that folder. It's marked 'low priority'.

Remembering this when Fortnite sucked its entire game worldwide into a black hole and downed all their servers for 36+hours in 2019.

In the vast majority of European countries you'd be facing a panel of judges or a judge led inquisitorial system going over the facts and evidence, rather than the adversarial with a jury where witnesses and experts are actively attacked by barristers for the prosecution & defence.

Love it when someone complains in an email that it took 4 days to address the comments on a peer review when they sent it on Friday after I left for the day & I addressed them Monday when I returned to work. I kindly pointed out they had the report since 30th Oct breaching SOPs 14 day turnaround.

I love tricking Ai to create what it's not supposed to do. Sliding past all those moderating filters for the online versions. When it doesn't get the human condition or understands anything out of the bounds of it. 🎣🐟

Enhancement of an unknown woman by Autochrome photographer Gustav Gain in Normandy 1910. The colours are still there, but due to the potato starch grains used during the process it has faded greatly. For a low light shot like this she would have had to stay still for 8 seconds +

"Time to wake up, sweetheart" kiss on forehead.
"Urgh. I'm coming"
10 mins later I find her wrapped in place not moved.
"Time to get up, Saffy Duck" grabs duvet & walks away with it.
"No, no, no! Argh, it's cold!" She reaches for her blanket. I take that too. "I'm up, dad. I'm up! I hate Mondays"

Just experimenting with enhancing Autochrome shot of Christina Elizabeth Frances Bevan, who would have been 16 when the photo were taken in Dorset in 1912.
Photographer Mervyn O'Gorman. I used an instruction to generate a 125thsec image rather than one that would have taken two seconds+ back then
