daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Last year I brought home several bottles of old very liquor. My parents’ neighbor/friend passed away and he had a lot of bottles in his collection, which my parents saved. These are two of the unopened whisky bottles. I don’t know how long they stay good, but we opened the one on the right and it seems fine!
We did try a couple of other bottles which were a bit foul so we dumped them, but I’m happy that we can enjoy at least one of them. Cheers! 🥃
We received a new Neewer 660 LED Lighting Kit today and it seems pretty good! Just a few days ago I sold my old studio flash and switched to these continuous lights which will be good for stills and video.
The kit we chose comes with two lights/stands, but doesn’t have any soft boxes. However, I have a shoot-through umbrella that I was able to use and it works great. The first photos I took were of an antique lamp that I am trying to sell on Facebook Marketplace. I think it looks nice!
For the second lamp, I might purchase the Neewer soft box just to see how it compares to the umbrella. I’ll post again when I get it, but it might not be for a while yet.
I was feeling under-the-weather today so I took a rare sick-day. I ended up resting, drinking tea, and reading.
I borrowed She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan from the library last week, and finally got into it. I’m a bit over half way through and enjoying the story and characters very much. Excited to see where it leads!

Taking advantage of the nice weather while it lasts. A cold front is on its way so… let’s ride!
