Less with more

Or is it the other way around?

Testing out writing to the journal here with the app and on my phone.

Currently dreaming of long distance travel on a Vespa 50cc. There’s something compelling about the slow pace, low volume, simplicity of the idea that appeals. Lots of great videos out there on trips, including this one where the guy travels around Morocco on his Vespa (ok issue #1 can’t paste a link!)

I’m always looking to simplify my gear and get it down to as small a package as possible. I’m shooting the Fujifilm X100 vi pretty much exclusively and figuring out how to make do with a 35mm lens. One of the very cool aspects is the ability to apply a “look” to the jpegs and output directly to my phone either with a cable or wifi.

The images here are from the beach this morning. Assuming I can upload them in this app!

Update! Figured out how to link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MbRJjN_F_TU&pp=ygUNVmVzcGEgbW9yb2Njbw%3D%3D

Photography at La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires

When thou shalt have allotted me my fire I will not fare here from the dark again. As living men we'll no more sit apart from our companions, making plans. The day of wrath appointed for me at my birth engulfed and took me down.
