Sorry, not sorry, but we lead off this date night

Sorry, not sorry, but we lead off this date night with a proper couple’s photo. What followed is another exquisite pairing of beer and food at @goodwordbrewing in collab with @bluejacketdc to make for a proper evening out in #duluthga

“The blood moon rises once again”
🌔🌓🌒🌑
That was a late night for sure, and I stopped around 12:15am EST as my camera and astronomy gear just wasn’t picking up any further details after the moon fully passed through the penumbra.

Just me, sitting out in the middle of the neighborhood park watching the lunar eclipse. This time I’ve got a makeshift webcam mount attached to the telescope and a computer running SharpCap. This is actually working so well that I may just get a true T-mount USB camera for astrophotography.

Back in early April we spent a week in Salem, MA which included a brief road trip to York, ME just to check out the Nubble Lighthouse. I wondered why it was so familiar until @amy.grau mentioned a photo of it hung in our guest bathroom once upon a time. 🤷‍♂️

Picking up a quiche kit from Fresh Market means nobody had to get up early or even dressed for brunch on #mothersday, and I only had to ask a few questions to operate the ovens myself 🤣

This mushroom hat got a lot of attention and right

This mushroom hat got a lot of attention and rightfully so. The amount of detail @riotttgrrrlll put into this project really turned heads, even if hers was pretty stationary from the weight. We had a great walk around the @garenfest on Easter Sunday as a daddy-daughter day.

This was so much fun getting to paint sets for an upcoming 8th grade production. I got to spend the day working with my daughter and her theater class backstage at DHS, I’m so looking forward to her continuing theater in 9th grade—this brought back so many fond memories of my own 🎨🎭

On my recent trip downtown my daughter joined me for a photo walk, and I think she knew she would end up as a subject at some point. It was at the end of the walk that we found this graffiti and some interesting backdrops for some poses. She takes her inspiration from rockers like Joan Jett and Bikini Kill. 🤘🎸

“Best Served Cold”
At long last I took my homebrew lens out for a spin. This was taken with my GX85 and a 3D-printed mount with an old Argus Anastigmat Triplet lens. It flared and warped and did all the fun weirdness I expected of a nearly 100yr-old lens, and felt like using a Holga camera.

“Threading the Needle”
This took a careful scaling of a fence and sticking my hand (and camera) into the razor wire.
No guts no glory I guess.

It’s another collab beer dinner at @goodwordbrewing with @wheatlandspring and @amy.grau and I are beyond full. It’s a collection of small plates with magnificent pairings, and totally worth it. The risotto was totally worth the wait for that alone and dessert killed it as always.

At long last I’ve had a chance to revisit the former Bellwood Quarry as the new Westside Reservoir Park in Atlanta. This gem is just off Marietta Street and is already surrounded by new housing developments, backing the bet that this will be a draw to families and residents. From what I’ve explored today I can agree.

The “Grandma BBQ Pork” at Food Terminal is just awesome, whether it’s on rice or noodles. If you’ve never been here, there’s a location off Buford Hwy near PDK and on Marietta St near the Brickworks.

I’m so happy to say I’ve wrapped up the basics of a true Ghostbusters uniform, albeit I’m short one proton pack and neutrona wand (for now). Credit to the one-day build by @therealadamsavage for invaluable hints to source some parts for my Ecto Goggles. I’m feeling ready for a convention now 😁

Another prop and costume piece for the books: Ray Stantz’ Ecto Goggles! Fully 3D printed with exception of some aluminum bits on the eyepieces, the nylon straps and snaps, and the faux leather gasket. They’re incredibly lightweight though noticeable when worn, and best of all I can still see through them! I found the sticker designs on the GBFans forum and used some silver sticker paper that came out perfect from my inkjet printer.
