This book is captivating!
I was magnetized to it in a very large used book store LOADED to the ceiling. I love how information often comes to you when you need it in these ways.

Some scenes around town from a recent walkabout.
Recorded the booming reverberated sound of the empty water tank to sample later.

Some photos of some street art from my trip to Amsterdam in 2005.
I had just been given an old 35mm camera right before the trip so I had fun documenting my adventure, which was mostly through the alleys connecting the green zones's various coffee shops.

When you go to Amsterdam, you have expect some photos to turn out like this... I was lucky any didn't.
This was the first thing I did as an adult when I graduated high school. Freshly 18 in another country, that sells(sold?) mushrooms and hash to anybody over 18.

I did an art.
Surely, there are much better arts, but this is an art I made today.
Found some old office supplies in a free box walking home from the doc's... notebooks, some pencils, & a compass were in there among other things.
Now it can sit on my desk stare @ me while I make weird noises. 🤣

Derek Paravicini is a treasure to be cherished, such a talanted genius. Enjoy his quick break down of the classic Aphex Twin song Aviril 14th. I would love to hear a whole album of him deconstructing electronic songs.
