Walking along Canyon Road in Santa Fe late in the day last week, I came across this sculpture – reminds me of Jack London.

A popular decoration in Santa Fe are these dried red peppers – hanging in doorways and windows – and on gates.
I found them fascinating as subjects – especially as the lighting shifted from early morning through the afternoon and into evening.
This is a late afternoon example shot at The Inn of the Five Graces with my Fujifilm X-T1
We recently spent a few days in Santa Fe – with my Fujifilm X-T1
This is one of my favorite shots from the weekend – shot inside the main building at Jackalope with the Fujifilm X-T1
Jackalope reminds me of the old Cost Plus Imports in San Francisco – imports from all over the world, lots of doo dads and trinkets – and some beautiful fabric and pottery. A place to step out of whatever your normal is.
If you go to Santa Fe, be sure to visit Jackalope!
While visiting an import store in Santa Fe, I came across these candles from Indonesia. There was beautiful indirect light coming through the room providing some beautiful contrasts across the shapes of the candles.

Yesterday we taught a Bitcoin payments workshop at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. It was fun talking about the future of payments and virtual currencies in such a setting – with rooms full of vintage hardware on the floor below! It also reminded me that we need to be thinking about creating a “Payments History Museum” someplace on the planet!
The new Revolution exhibit at the Computer History Museum is stunning – beautifully laid out and thematically organized. One of the areas is devoted to “Mainframes” – and, as I came into that area, this IBM System/360 Model 30 was on display.
I have many fond memories of the Model 30 – I probably logged more hands-on datacenter time on the Model 30 than any other mainframe. While it was primarily a DOS machine, I’d also put together a trimmed down version of OS/360 which I could also run in the limited memory of the Model 30.
Seeing this “beauty” brought back lots of memories!…
Both of these images were quickly grabbed with a Fujifilm X-T1
A late Tuesday afternoon, after a bit of rain – along the shore of Sharon Park.

Cameras are just tools in the photographer’s trade – capturing moments of time and light onto a sensor. Frankly, there’s not that much of a noticeable difference in the results from cameras across a range of cost. It’s much more about the moment, the composition, and the light – than it is about the camera.
But, how the camera enhances the experience for the photographer does matter. Some cameras are a struggle to use – lots of menus, etc. Others are a delight and make things simple – easing the photographer’s workload rather than increasing it.

I’m looking forward to exploring a new world of photography with the X-T1
