Took the wife and daughter out to dinner and then to see The Maltese Falcon at the Paramount Theater in Oakland last night, it was the last showing in their summer movie classics series on 35mm film. We all really enjoyed it. I’ve seen the movie several times, but always on TV, never on a big screen and never on film. Sometimes I forget that cool stuff like this happens. I should get out more.
Anyway, here’s a little atmospheric video from outside the theater a block away.

Not sure how I managed to get a partial double exposure on this one but I kinda don’t mind it.

Adriatic figs from the market yesterday. So sweet. It’s like they’re filled with jam.
I’m headed overseas for a week, and for the first time since I can remember I’m not traveling with a film camera. Made the last minute call to swap out my MP and a brick of Tri-X with the M10 Monochrom. Camera #2 is a GRiv Monochrome. All digital, all black & white trip. Who even am I?

I remember reading a John Peel interview that included this quote decades ago. It was a very formative time for me, and Peel’s words (and work) were deeply impactful. I still hold this as a mantra when it comes to music.

I love the New York Public Library’s Flickr account. So much cool stuff. https://flickr.com/photos/32951986@N05
Seems as tho #Flickr rolled back the mobile app update I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple weeks ago. It certainly wasn’t perfect (didn’t present in landscape orientation, couldn’t add photos to groups, etc.), but it was a step in the right direction. Oh well.

I quit drinking a few years ago (mostly—I’ll have a little somethin’ once in a very long while), and I don’t miss it at all. But I do miss bars. I liked being in bars, dark ones with good jukeboxes, by myself, around bar people.
Good fights tonight, lots of top notch Mexican boxers on this card. Should be a fun one. #boxing

Navarrete defeats Nunez by TKO in the 10th—the doctor called it. Navarrete is a wrecking machine, and he’s the new Super Featherweight unified champ. #boxing
Replying to
His opponent’s a young Argentinian fighter called Quintana. He’s versatile, slippery and kinda awkward, quick with power. Definitely proven to be a real test for Vargas. #boxing
Replying to
Round 8 was a bruiser. Quintana is bleeding out of three cuts, but not slowing down. I think he’s done, even if he goes the distance. #boxing
Replying to
Ugh, ref stopped the fight between rounds 9 and 10. Bad call. Quintana was beat up but he was still very much in it. That sucks. #boxing
First bout on tonight’s card, an action packed super bantam weight (122 lb.) 10 rounder, Arturo Cardenas vs Jordan Martinez. Fantastic fight, ended in a draw (wasn’t a draw in my view but…). #boxing
Never underestimate how much damage consistent bodywork can do, it wins fights. Just ask Able Ramos. #boxing
Old friend of mine is English, put himself through university working at a bookmakers in London. British boxing enthusiast from way back. Has said to me for years, “AJ’s always been a bit too chinny, mate. Makes him a questionable champ.” And you see that in fights like today’s. Anthony Joshua recovered from being knocked down twice in round 1 to win by KO in round 2. But this was a tuneup fight and his opponent Kristian Prenga is a tomato can. Serious contenders have always been a problem for AJ because he’s inconsistent and too chinny. #boxing
#NowPlaying Johari Salleh, Jazz Dari Angkasapuri (Audible Beauty Records, 2026) Salleh is a Malaysian trumpet player, composer and arranger known primarily for popular television and film music, but apparently he was straight ahead jazz guy at heart, and this incredible record—comprised of tunes recorded in ‘74—proves that. This officially drops this Friday (which happens to be a #BandCampFriday) but my vinyl preorder showed up early and I haven’t stopped listening since it landed.
