Requiem for a β€œDrunk Dad” Jeff Bark’s elaborately composed scenes channel sundered American fantasies. They also function as personal folklore.

Nice feature of a new series by one of my favorite photographers, Jeff Bark:

John Humble, Photographer Who Captured LA's Contradictions, Dies at 81 For five decades, Humble focused his lens on areas of the city often overlooked or dismissed, from its industrial infrastructure to its mom-and-pop storefronts.

He once told me how he would drive his truck wearing a construction vest and hard hat he'd bought and just drive up the freeways under construction and no one would question why he was there photographing them. Those photos will always be iconic.

RIP.

I'd say it's like this now and should improve over time. How much time? Who knows. Tech likes to over promise.

I'm pretty sure you can download the Waymo app and use them in LA now.

The US team will be the only one not detained by ICE, so they win be default.

This is one of 5 hypothetically-allowed albums to travel with me to the deserted island, so I hope it's not that time.
