Took some internetting and more than a little trial and error but I have Ubuntu successfully running on a Surface Pro 9 w/ touchscreen support. Always liked the hardware, just not the OS so much. Hoping it drives usage but at the very least, I get to learn something new.
Have it stuck in my head that I need to try installing Ubuntu on my unused Surface Pro 9. Feeling the need for something more stripped down and clean. 🤞🏻
An afternoon free of work and a break in the insanely hot / humid weather … perfect for a trip to the winery!

Such a serious little Juno on #Caturday.
Testing some navigational nonsense on the site.
Had this little bird feeder out for a few months now and this little guy finally found it. A few minutes later, Ringo the cat discovered the show and has been glued to the door watching ever since.
Moody Bridge.
Nothing more than a bit of light shining into the covered bridge at one of our local parks.

Gas29.
Was fiddling around replacing some parts to the propane powered fire table thingy, camera happened to be close by.

Winery Fence.
Took a walk up the hill to see the vines at the local winery.

Threads.
Sadly, this string of outside LED decorative bulbs only lasted one season, they were cool while they worked.

Soft Shutter Released.
First time taking the Q3 out and about. Eventually made it to the local park and snapped this right before realizing that the soft shutter release unscrewed and fell off the camera, never to be found again.

LightGlass28.
Before it gave up the ghost, the little touch lamp was kind enough to give me this close up shot of the glass shade. Liked that little lamp.

There is something so soul crushing about hearing your ideas parroted back to you as if they weren’t your own, alternate ownership implied.
Museum Bridge.
Rented a Leica Q2 last year and spent an afternoon at the park outside the local museum. Fell in love with how great things looked direct from the camera, so much so that I ordered a Q3 later that week.

Spring thing.
Not too sure what this actually is. Took the Q3 out for a bit yesterday and say this little fella on the stone wall while checking out some flowers.

HomePod.
Macro shot of the outside mesh on the HomePod. Rock on.

Ukulele 23.
Just because I can’t play it doesn’t mean that I can’t photograph it.

Wine bottle 24.
Has the makings of a beautiful Spring day which means a visit to the local winery. Reminded me of this wine bottle photo when I leaned a little more into the abstract. Empty wine bottle, staring down the barrel.

Lock and Shadow 25.
Had this little lock since the early 90’s. Can’t recall why. Found it in a little forgotten box. I gave it some light, it gave me some shadow.

Grand Central Audio Tours.
Taken a more than a few years back. Really liked all the textures and the pockets of strong light and shadow.

First night of ‘24 that we can spend on the back porch with a fire, a lovely Syrah and A Perfect Circle. Great way to end a Tuesday.
This whole #eclipse thing is just the Solar System’s way of giving us a wink. Looking good and doing ok, that’s my take.
@pratik spot on about the interface. It’s 100% designed with photography in mind and does a great job. Took some thinking to wrangle the blog into something that made sense for photography but feeling pretty ok about it.
