This photo shows Adam Goodman, me, and Dug Song posing together for a selfie in a casual office setting with exposed brick walls and wooden shelving in the background. On the left, Adam is wearing a black beanie with a logo, glasses, and a black t-shirt that reads "Walking & Biking & Public Transit." He has a beard and is wearing a messenger bag strap across his chest. His name tag reads "Adam Goodman." In the center is an older gentleman with glasses and a warm smile, wearing an olive green button-up shirt over a striped shirt. He's wearing light-colored pants with a belt and has a messenger bag strap. His name tag appears to read "Peter Honeman." On the right, Dug is wearing round glasses and a mustard yellow knit beanie. He's dressed in a green Carhartt jacket over a white shirt and also has a green hooded sweatshirt visible underneath. The setting has a comfortable, community-oriented vibe with the brick walls, open shelving with various items, and the casual, friendly nature of the photo. ALT by Claude

This photo shows a menorah (a nine-branched Jewish candelabrum) that has been used for Hanukkah celebrations. The menorah is made of brass with gold-colored cups for holding candles. What’s particularly striking about this image is the dramatic aftermath of use - the menorah is covered in extensive wax drippings that have accumulated and hardened in flowing, organic shapes. The wax appears in shades of cream, tan, and purple-gray, creating almost sculptural formations that cascade down the branches and pool at the base. The Star of David is prominently displayed in the center of the menorah. The menorah is positioned aluminum foil placed to catch drippings, and is sitting by a window with a building visible in the background. The contrast between the deliberate, symmetrical design of the menorah and the chaotic, natural patterns of the melted wax creates an interesting visual effect - it’s beautiful and haunting, showing the physical evidence of many nights of lighting candles during the eight-day Hanukkah celebration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

This nighttime photograph shows the storefront of a shoe repair shop. The shop has large display windows framed by decorative curtains in pink and turquoise/mint green colors. The window displays "Shoe Repair" text both painted on the glass and on a black sign visible inside. There's also an "OPEN" sign hanging in the upper portion of the window. The text "Park Shoe Repair" (with "Park" partially visible) is painted on the window as well. Inside the illuminated shop, you can see various items on shelves including shoe repair equipment, vintage objects, figurines (including a bust or head sculpture), lamps, and various knick-knacks creating an eclectic, cluttered display. The interior has white walls and fluorescent lighting visible at the top. The shop appears to be in a darker commercial area, with the surrounding areas mostly in shadow. The overall aesthetic suggests a traditional neighborhood shoe repair business with a quirky, vintage character. ALT by Claude

the shoe repair shop on n 4th ave has redecorated their window (and it looks nice)

thanks, it’s been a long time coming — we had an apartment reserved in marina di novaglie in may, 2020 and then …

we’re planning to roam around for a few weeks in a rental car come spring. thanks for the guide.

This is a black and white photograph showing a suburban residential scene from the 1980s based on the cars and architectural style. The image features a two-story colonial-style house with white siding and black shutters. The house has a distinctive gambrel roof design on an attached garage section on the left side. Yours truly in light-colored clothing stands in the driveway between two period cars - American-made sedans from that era. The property appears newly developed, with sparse, recently planted landscaping including some small shrubs near the house foundation and a young tree on the right side. The lawn looks freshly seeded or laid, and there's a lawn spreader or similar equipment visible on the grass in the foreground right. In the background, you can see other houses under construction or recently completed, suggesting this is a new subdivision development. The overall composition captures that classic American suburban expansion moment, documenting a family's new home in a growing neighborhood. ALT by Claude

This is a dramatic football photograph capturing a moment from a Michigan vs. Penn State game. The image shows: Main focus: A Penn State player lying face-down on the field after a hard hit or tackle, in a vulnerable position that emphasizes the physical nature of the sport. Background: A Michigan player wearing #80 with the name "BRANCH" on their jersey is walking away, wearing Michigan's distinctive maize pants with a blue jersey. Several Penn State players (numbers 57, 64, and 78 visible) are also in the frame. Text: Bold blue text reading "WE ARE" at the top and "PENN STATE" at the bottom, referencing Penn State's famous stadium chant and rallying cry. Context: The composition creates a striking contrast - while the text proclaims Penn State's identity with pride, the image shows a Penn State player defeated on the ground with their opponent walking away. The photograph effectively captures both the intensity of college football rivalries and the harsh reality of defeat in competitive sports. ALT by Claude

This photo captures a vinyl record collection scene with several interesting elements: Main focus: A Charles Lloyd Quartet album - "Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco" on Atlantic Records. The album cover features vibrant psychedelic artwork typical of the late 1960s, with swirling orange, pink, and purple patterns framing a photo of the band performing on stage. Turntable setup: The record is being held over a modern turntable with a clear dust cover. The turntable sits on a wooden surface,part of an entertainment center. Background details: A decorative figure with leopard-print patterns wearing what looks a pink outfit stands prominently in the background Various vinyl records are stored vertically in a storage shelf. The lighting creates warm, ambient tones throughout the scene Atmosphere: The image has a cozy, dimly-lit quality that evokes the intimate setting of a personal music listening space. The combination of vintage jazz vinyl and quirky home decor creates an eclectic, personal aesthetic. This is my home music setup where I am playing this classic live jazz recording from the psychedelic era.

it was a great day: the no kings rally was inspiring, the wolverines triumphed, PSG came back from down 3–1 to pull out a draw (yesterday, but watched today), and j.b. threw a terrific 40th fête d'anniversaire. perfect conditions for a #LateNightDanceParty! […]

This is a beautiful close-up photograph of fresh dahlias arranged together, showcasing their stunning variety and intricate petal structures. The flowers featured: Purple dahlia (left): A striking bi-colored bloom with deep purple-burgundy centers that gradually fade to white or pale lavender at the petal tips. The petals are arranged in perfect geometric layers, creating a pompom-like spherical shape characteristic of ball or decorative dahlias. Pink-coral dahlia (right): A large dinner-plate style dahlia shown from the back, revealing its green sepals and the underside of its vibrant coral-pink to magenta petals. The petals are broad and slightly twisted, showing beautiful color gradation. White dahlias (background): Cream-colored or white blooms with yellow-green centers visible from their reverse side, adding depth and contrast to the composition. Overall impression: The photograph beautifully captures the dahlias' fresh, garden-picked quality with excellent detail of their textures and color transitions. The soft, neutral background allows the vivid colors to stand out, while the mix of front-facing and back-facing blooms creates visual interest and shows the complete beauty of these flowers from multiple angles. The composition has an artistic, almost painterly quality to it.
