My wife bought a sixer of Orion beer to enjoy with yakiniku tonight. Really looking forward to dinner! 🍴🍻😊 And Fuchiko makes an appearance! It’s been a while since she’s been in my photostream.
I recently went on a business trip to Stockholm and on my day off I visited Moderna Museet (Museum of Modern Art). I haven’t been to an art museum in some time, so coming here brought back memories of the time in my life when I frequented LACMA and MOCA in Los Angeles. I really enjoyed the museum in Stockholm, especially the opportunity to view some Picassos that I studied in art school. And I was pleasantly surprised to find Modigliani’s “Seated Woman in Blue Dress”! I love this painting!
This particular gallery was so overwhelming to me, with a nice selection of cubist and modernist paintings. I spent about half an hour just in this space alone. It was a highlight of this particular trip to Sweden!
It’s funny that people who use the Fujifilm X100 series say they are unlike shooting with any other camera. Almost everyone has fallen in love with theirs. And I have pretty much fallen in love with my X100T. It’s so fun to shoot with! I’m still getting used to the optical viewfinder, but the cool design and the way it feels makes me want to pick it up and shoot. It’s just a great experience. And I haven’t even spoken about the image quality. Which is awesome. But just the camera design makes it a joy to use. I am crazy about this Fujifilm camera! The only time I have picked up my dslr was to take photos of my X100T. 😄
Here are a couple images I made using the camera:
My favorite スネオヘアー song. I especially love the synth solo followed by the guitar solo at 3:30.
This Fall, Koa will start his third season playing Little League Baseball. He’s improved a lot since his first season and we’re happy that his time at the batting cages is paying off. Besides playing baseball, he’s into following the MLB season, especially the Dodgers. I’m glad he’s so interested in baseball!
