It's been a while since I've posted one of these.
Tonight's Moon. Waxing crescent 42% illuminated. Distance 363,673.02 km (225,975.93 mi) from Earth.
Single exposure. Photographed from a sidewalk in Los Feliz.
I should be working on this monster-sized project that I've been grinding on for months. But naw, I'm vibing to vintage dub reggae, and that project's gwan wait til tomorrow.

in my little corner of the documentary world, the one that doesn't do slick, easily digestible docs for the simple minded, this man's loss is enormous. Do yourself a favor and dive into Frederick Wiseman's work. He did not make "trash with flash." Said with reverence.

Has anyone ever explained the source of the brainworm? We probably all thought it came from some carcass, I assume. But what if it came from a toilet seat? 🤢

Photowandered Hollywood Blvd. with friends earlier today. Nice to get out of the house and away from the desk. This was a clothing store, but made me think it could also be a pro wrassler with substance issues.

RIP Ebo Taylor. 90 years in that life is a helluva good run. May we all dance to your music until we hit 90 ourselves.

Putting what I can in the win column during the ongoing awfulness, so I'm stoked my street here in Los Angeles has working streetlights again. Thieves stole the copper wiring in May. Let's hope they stay on until brighter, longer days come our way.

"They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king"
Bob Dylan, Sweetheart Like You
1983
Some see a warning. Some, an instruction manual. Gotta make some choices in the days ahead.
Sad to see Sly Dunbar leave the stage just a few years after his musical partner, the legendary riddim section bassman Robbie Shakespeare. The world is considerably less locked-in tonight and I for one feel it. For now, an old favorite from the Taxi Records days... RIP.

Might be worth a casual study. If only to be aware of what might be used against you by persons or agencies with ill-intent.

Do you get the feeling that self defense might have to sublimate to another form soon? Have you studied offensive strategies beyond Sunday afternoon football?

The morning spin on vinyl. A quietly powerful pushback against the horrors of the age. A foundational album in my life. The Curtains of Old Joe’s House is decades ahead of its time, especially in Appalachian folk. Y’all know Si Kahn and this album?

The morning spin on vinyl. Quality time, easing into another day.

His version of "Out Here On Your Word" is outstanding.

While I am rarely in a hurry to push time along the track too fast these days, I’m happy to say goodbye to 2025. Finally.
Happy New Year! Let’s do our best to do our best.
Checked in with my Australian friends hours ago. They confirm the world is still there. So, we have that going for us. Onward!

It's that time of year... annual repost. Almost there, Merle. Ready to give 2025 a swift kick in the ass as it slides out the door.

Settling in for the night, wishing everyone comfort and joy, not just in spite of our times, but *to* spite them. Here’s the laziest music video I’ve ever made.
Off my 2018 album produced by Fernando Perdomo. Trevi Fligg on the backing vocals. Peace, y’all. I truly mean that.

Happy solstice! Once we get through this very long night, little by little, day by day, everything gets a little brighter for a little longer. Plus, Jake Paul and Andrew Tate got whooped in the ring this weekend. Maybe 2025 is trying to turn it around at the 11th hour?

Timeline palate cleanser. Gentle reminder that California remains stunningly gorgeous and no politician is louder than the wind or will ever outlive the silence in a canyon. If you can swing it, go see it. This was this afternoon in the Eastern Sierra, returning to town today.

He certainly had his critics, but man, did he ever leave an impact on architecture. Especially here in Los Angeles. RIP Frank Gehry, gone at 96.

Love it when I don't have to write location captions for photos. Fun with the 65:24 digital Xpan format.

Safe journey home, Jimmy Cliff. Thank you for the songs, the good times, and your gift of a voice. RIP.

Some nights, the Gretchen Peters cover of Tom Russell’s song Guadalupe is the only thing that scratches a certain quiet late night itch.
“I am least of all your pilgrims here/but I am most in need of hope…”
