Tue, 16 Jan 2024 Write Once, Never Edit
One thing I've realized with blosxom - posts are displayed based on their
modified date, not their created date. So, if I find a typo and correct it,
the post goes to the top of the display. Looking at man (1) touch, I can
pass a date string to the command and reset the modified date, but that
seems overly complicated.
Better to leave posts as-is, errors and all. This isn't meant to be polished, by any means. posted at: 09:48 | path: | permanent link to this entry Nostalgia
I found my old Flickr account from the 2000s with 18 pages worth of photos.
Going back through them was a nostalgia trip - I shot a lot
of film in the early 2000s, I'd discovered lomography and was working in a
subject-rich
environment, San Francisco. It was a town going through a lot of change, and
some of the buildings I captured were gone in the following weeks and
months.
There's a lot to be said for pocketable cameras. With a LOMO, I'd leave the focus at 8-10 feet and in sunny weather (or shooting with ASA 400 film), you'd probably get your subject in focus. Reach in your pocket, shoot, repeat. I've been shooting again with an old Canon digital pocket camera, but it's not quite the same. With my phone I need to pull it out, unlock it, press the camera app, wait for it to load, then sight and shoot. It's just not the same.
