People in gridlines

A black and white photo of a man going down an escalator below a massive curved skylight cross-crossed by gridlines.

A view of a few people in the Temple of Dendur at the Met. They’re tiny compared to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows behind them, whose panes create a grid pattern

A woman looking at a piece of art while standing in the glow of a large skylight. The light is broken up by the shadows of crisscrossing pane borders

New thing that floats my boat 🪻☕️

The Lavender Latte at No Filter Coffee

It's called "The Lady Lazarus" and it certainly can raise my spirits from the dead.

For compact, the top options seem to be the Fujifilm x100 series, Ricoh GR series (iii is the latest but the iv was just announced), or Sony cyber shot rx100 series. But fyi none of those allow interchangeable lenses if you want to play w those

I love a good challenge (and am also mentally/creatively spent lol)

Jinjin @jinjin.bsky.social · Jul 27

Every 5 mins there’s a new challenge, like “draw me a boat!” but you have no pen or “sing me the ‘under’ song!” but you don’t know what that is, and you just have to adapt. Harder than any standardized test that ostensibly scores intelligence

Gowanus, right before the fireworks

A street at twilight softly illuminated by a glowy greenhouse roof, various cars headlights, traffic lights and streetlights, and the fading sunset in the distance.

It was also immense and glowing soft orange and through the binoculars could see the scraggly edges of all the craters and the highlight at its edge 😌
