While just an empty hilt (no electronics), this latest modified Graflex replica completes my collection for the lightsaber wielded by Anakin/Luke/Rey. Center hub printed in PLA, polished and coated with rub-n-buff silver, and covered with real leather. I had bought the extra hilt back in May ‘19 but wanted to see what the latest movie brought for this iconic Jedi weapon in its release last December.

“What’s old is new again” ✨ In my boredom

“What’s old is new again” ✨
In my boredom at home I designed and 3D printed a mount for an old Argus AA lens (ca. 1940) to fit on my Panasonic LUMIX GX85. The glass needed some cleaning so first came a full tear-down, then the measurements and prototyping in TinkerCad. In my version, this old fixed-lens can now do both close-up and infinity focusing thanks to a small bellows movement in the mount. The image quality is surprisingly good, and for closeups at the lowest f/6.3 value there’s a nice swirly bokeh effect.

“Self-Isolation”
There was an eerie silence in Target at 5:30pm on a Friday. Finding aisles without a soul was a common sight, though the registers were busy. I had saved up a list of items for a single trip out, getting all the small bits and bobs that Amazon just didn’t carry. Naturally I couldn’t pass up a chance to take photos of what retail life is like now 😢

Never have I been more proud of the work we’ve put into our basement, nor do I regret a single penny spent in the last year. From furniture, painting, assembling tables, installing AV equipment, sewing curtains, AC installation, and humidity mitigation. We even resurrected the Nintendo Wii for Guitar Hero which Kate has really taken to. This has been our go-to space for gaming and movies while responsibly staying put at home. Here, Kate is playing Super Smash Bro’s with a classmate thanks to a trial of Nintendo Online.

Behind the scenes of a movie prop. This began nearly 2 months ago (or in Covid time, 2 years). With 2 sides, 4 quadrants and 18 segments per side, glued with CA and patched with putty before priming and sanding. Two tracks of LED’s complete the effects with a small 12V battery and hidden switch. Assembled with a shit-ton of magnets to avoid screws (easier to replace the battery if worn as a cosplay one day). So worth it.

“Attention, Program. You will receive an identity disc. Everything you do, or learn, will be imprinted on this disc. If you lose your disc, or fail to follow commands, you will be subject to immediate de-resolution.”
*Daft Punk Soundtrack Intensifies*
Finally mounted to my wall is an artifact from a fantastically underrated movie. TRON LEGACY was everything it set out to be, but nothing that critics expected. In honor of this groundbreaking Disney story I have brought a digital file into the real world. Prepare the grid...

Did you say... hello?
“No, I said ‘allo’, but that's close enough.”

You’d say this was purely the isolation, but I had intended to make this little guy anyway before the quarantine.

Dog walks become a stroll through the flowers in our neighborhood. So proud of the work that our HOA puts into our green spaces. And I’m stunned by the capabilities of my new iPhone 11 Pro—these had only a slight boost but are otherwise straight out of camera.

He’s giving the side-eye because he was a recent “catch-and-release” participant. I still haven’t lost my skills nabbing these guys.

While our neighborhood streets are devoid of cars, I saw people having dinner on their patios, families playing ball in the street, and lots of walkers out for a stroll at sunset. Life continues.

Edit: I just realized this was my 2,000th post on IG. I hoped to have something more grand to celebrate, but alas things are what they are.

Much-needed words from a great place. From brewpub to soup kitchen, @goodwordbrewing has been the best neighbor a town could ask for. Please support their GoFundMe campaign, and please help our local restaurants still offering to-go and delivery options.

Shit just got VERY real in our first game of Muppet Monopoly. We’ve avoided this game as long as possible and it’s only week 2. The child is in tears and I’ve gone bankrupt from taxes. 🤷‍♂️

“Just Go Home”
Folks are out posting recent pics of the skyline from JSB with no cars or people. That’s cool, but y’all should be at home right now. 😷 For reference, I shot this back in 2012 with a very long exposure, causing all traffic to disappear. Since it seems to be in vogue I figured I’d re-share since it predates most of my work on IG.

While we spend the weekend doing some pantry clean

While we spend the weekend doing some pantry cleaning and laundry, we don’t have to venture far to enjoy some beautiful sights of nature. Daffodils have popped up in our flower beds, and our neighborhood has taken great care to cover 2 park areas with beautiful flowering trees. And while we’d love to hit a park or trail, the dreaded pollen has arrived. Perhaps not a bad time to stay indoors a bit longer—my allergic self would appreciate it.

“Adjustment Period” 💻
Kudos to our school who has been able to work video conferencing into the daily instruction. And my condolences to those viewing my daughter and the mess of BTS stuff around her room (it’s even on the ceiling)!
.
This image also fills me with so many feelings right now. I feel for our teachers who can’t offer the full support they normally would in the classroom. And I fully recognize how fortunate we are that our child can continue her education at home like this, while some families either share a laptop among siblings or may not have a laptop or capable internet to begin with.

An amazing and unexpected stop on our walk down Au

An amazing and unexpected stop on our walk down Auburn Avenue was the site of WERD radio and the Madam CJ Walker museum off Hilliard St. Owner and curator Ricci de Forest explained the history of Miss Walker and the importance of the radio station to MLK. By the way, this month on @netflix the series “Self Made” premiers with @octaviaspencer portraying Madam Walker, so even if you’ve not visited the museum or heard the amazing story of this entrepreneur, check out this upcoming series. Thanks to @eastalahna for making sure we checked this place out!

“The Dead Mall” 💀
The downward spiral continues as more sections of empty space are cordoned off, including a nearly permanent barrier to the old food court. The shops used for filming Stranger Things have all been reverted to their empty, faceless storefronts. Escalators are out of order and the elevator is shut off and blocked. Buckets collect rainwater from gaping holes in the roof. New hours limit what remaining shops are still open—if you can find any. Gwinnett Place deserves better than this.
