Last week’s music listening. This is a report generated by last-dot-fm and does not include music played on CDs and records, just streaming and mp3s.

1st photo with my Leica M3. In 2012 in Busan I saw a used M3 in a camera shop at Nampo. Price was good so I bought it and a Summicron 5cm 1:2 lens. Loaded it up with Fujicolor and walked out on the street and shot this. The escalators up to Yongdusan. #heyfsc #pinksky #korea #busan #leica #film

Keelbottom Creek, shot on infrared film. Camera - Fuji GW690 III Fixed Lens Fujinon 90mm 1:3.5 Film - Rollei Infrared

Paduk players at Yongdusan Park, Busan. I’m looking through some Korea photos from a few years ago while I wait for some photos from a recent Korea trip to come back from the lab. Bessa L 25mm 1:3.5 Fujicolor 200 Tetenal #bessal #fujicolor #heyfsc #film #korea #busan

Poems that stay with me. 2. Dylan Thomas’s “Holy Spring”. There’s something in this poem I can’t quite reach. It slips away as I reach for it.

Browsing FB this morning I saw someone calling Bluesky a site for the “ultra-woke”, and saying that in a negative sense. I hate the way people consider woke as a bad thing. Woke is simply a shorthand term for kind, compassionate and intelligent. I’d rather be woke than the opposite.

Pep talk time. For some of us this is incredibly new. For others, painfully familiar. Because we the people have been here before. Pushing back against government, systems, and even each other. Open a history book. Look at whose shoulders we have been standing on. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion

You couldn’t make this shit up.

20 poems eh….? Not sure I can do 20, but I’ll see what I can do. After dinner…

Genius.

A lane off Jongno in Seoul. The shop on the right sells fascinating scientific glassware and equipment. I’ve often wondered who buys it. Alchemists? Meth cookers? Leica M4. / Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28 / Tri-X / D76. #seoul #korea #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #nqfp #heyfsc
