There’s something appropriately Grateful Dead about this mystical feeling, I think, of connectedness with people of such talent and genius by virtue merely of sharing the planet with them at the same time even if you never see them in person.

I had the same thought. How lucky we are. I saw him only twice in concert, including at the big 60th event in SF last summer, where significant recent decline was unfortunately obvious, but I feel so lucky. I feel lucky to have lived at the same time as Jerry too despite being only 9 when he died.

might I ask what store it is? would be interested in a bay area store that sounds like maybe they can service leica stuff (?) - not sure if the leica store in sf just sends everything to germany with long turnaround (as I’ve heard but not confirmed) so another option would be amazing

assuming goggles included and in known good cla’d condition that seems fair to me fwiw! (I bought my DR on ebay for like $1300 with goggles and condition is excellent but focus calibration or something is off…)

this was probably the highlight for me too 🙂

this is one I had heard once or twice before in live recordings but hadn’t connected with (it was never in regular rotation for me), meaning this was essentially the first time I really heard it for what it was, which is probably the ideal way to be introduced to an unreleased song (seeing it live)!

Sort of combining the FADGI approach with a museum photography approach to more comprehensively represent an object digitally. (But we do some things differently from museums too.) This is one recent example: exhibits.stanford.edu/exemplars/ca...
Grimoire : Zauberrolle mit Gebeten, Anrufungen, Beschworungen und Zauberformeln, Spruchen, Symbolen, Siegeln und Anleitunggen zu Ritualen

To be transparent, by the way, I’m trying to promote a different approach in digitization (and planning some conference presentations on this for next year) which is why the video and the discussion that has arisen around it interested me specifically. I like to see what everyone’s thinking about it

Ha, yeah - have had a lot if misunderstanding about the work involved but thankfully, our curators are usually very understanding once it’s explained and then tend to err on the side of requesting less than they could, which is the only way I am able to handle the volume of requests we get…

I agree! And the comments were incredible (derogatory). The video was sent to me by a digitization colleague who I think took it personally as an attack on digitization, which framed how I viewed it… and then got me thinking about what I commented about the field letting people down.

Not a knock against her at all, I think she’s cool. Digitization as a field has let her down.

I don’t know her specifics other than that she’s a one-person shop as mentioned in the video. Her digitization setup appears to probably be FADGI 2- or 3-star compliant but the results (seen briefly in the video) are flat and pretty lifeless, as is typical because that’s what’s pushed.

Digitization can be so much more than that, but the digitization field is obsessed with FADGI compliance to the point that people don’t dare include extra images (like to show the object qualities of a rare book) because they can’t be FADGI compliant

Somewhat ironically, I think it was gatekeeping and condescension from the “pioneers” of digitization that got us to this point. Because e.g. FADGI, archivists et al. (i.e. not specifically digitization experts) are taught that digitization is a specific thing that primarily captures the content.

I saw unmarked but obviously ICE people unloading rifle bags from a van outside a hotel they're probably staying at down the street from me near downtown San Jose earlier this week. National Guard might not be here but ICE is armed and ready.

It’s a wonderful sign that people in the biz do still get it. No doubt PTA waited until just the right moment where his clout could make it happen but so, so many extremely risk-averse people had to sign off on it and maybe this will make them think twice about turning away from risks in the future!

I don't fly often anymore but for a while I did, and I'd be taking photos out the window constantly. They're unironically some of my favorite travel photos. Basically meaningless to anyone else, but they take me right back to that feeling of awe and wonder unique to flight.

It is so beautiful, and so incredible that it is so “real” and emotionally raw, which is amplified, rather than softened, by it still very much having the exaggerated style of a Hollywood studio movie of the era. I’m not sure any other movie has ever affected me as much as this one does.

I live on the other side of downtown from there. There are a lot of little run-down houses around over in that part of town, often rented out by slumlords to people who don’t have any other choice. People make the best of it but it’s a strange area that is the worst of both suburban & urban worlds.

I had the strategy guide, but I was so young and so bad at this kind of game I don't think I ever actually figured it out until my older sister simply found a step by step walkthrough online. For some reason, I loved the game anyway (and Riven) and even read some of the associated fantasy books 😂

Bad as everything has been already with the media capitulating, this does feel like a Rubicon crossing if they're going to straight-up tell the networks to take things off the air and presumably threaten them into compliance

I like the end credits scene of the group walking very confidently, but I probably would have been happier to have just seen that part

if you really think there's anything "good-faith" about the far-right terrorists you're so eager to appeal to I sincerely hope that this is the "turning point", so to speak, for the support you've been getting recently. fuck you also for throwing trans people under the bus by the way.
