Leica acquire mojave5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() And yes, Anna is still here. But, I was determined to add some variance to my documentation. It's also why I've been collaborating with Anna for close to a year.īut I promised myself before flying to Los Angeles that I would venture outside my comfort zone. I am a creature of habit, which is why I've grown roots on my preferred Leica 28mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH. And even when I travel abroad, I keep on returning to where I've been before. After all, it's not often I wander off the beaten path between the Valley and the Hudson. Time to unleash the 435 horses from the gates. First stop, California's Historic Route 66 Museum on route to Barstow.įor someone like myself who seldom deviates beyond the confines of his obsessive compulsive comfort zone, it was befitting that we went on a road trip for this blog post. and me without my neutral density filter. Well. Only problem is, I had no idea just how sunny the desert is. ![]() So with a direction in mind, I surrendered to my spirit guide with the help of Google Maps, following step by step the audio instructions fed through our rental's Apple CarPlay. It was time for Anna and me to have our "Thelma and Louise" moment with the top down. Something to fill our potentially empty days. But I figured, I could always just play it by ear as the crow flies. Still, it's not as if I knew exactly what to expect or what to photograph. And now that I'm within driving distance, it wouldn't make sense not to go the extra mile. Having said that, the setting of his images somehow always finds a way to stir my imagination. It makes me wonder what it would be like to use it as a backdrop for my own bucket list documentation. If I recall, there is a certain opinionated photoblogger who makes an annual pilgrimage to Route 66, where he photographs what he misguidedly calls his art. Besides, I don't think Anna would be too keen on staying overnight at a Motel 6, after getting an earful from me. It wouldn't make sense for us to drive too far afield only be too far to retire back to the comfort of our prepaid accommodations and nightly turndown service of complementary treats and bottled water. This pony car needed miles tacked onto it. One look at it, and I knew what I was destined to do. I mean, how cool is that! It was 302 cubic inches of American splendor. One could only wonder what would happen if my head weren't attached to something useful?īut then, something happened that made me regret my oversight. I scored a proper car from a rental company for our stay. It was candy yellow, it had eight cylinders, and it could drive with the top down. I would never use it unless it's attached onto my lens. In all the years I've had a neutral density filter, I don't remember ever bringing one along, just in case I needed it. It's like my lens hood. Though to be fair, I never originally planned on going there - assuming if I actually made a plan before leaving Hong Kong. I normally lean toward 10×42 configurations for most big-game hunting, but I would not hesitate to use this 8×32 on an open-country hunt for pronghorn antelope or mule deer.Next time I wander through the desert, remember to bring a neutral density filter. The magnesium-and-titanium chassis is balanced and tough, the center-hinge design is strong and durable, and the focus and diopter controls are smooth and tack-sharp. The newest iteration of the venerable Ultravid line, the HD-Plus features a new prism design, a premium grade of Schott glass, and a new process that uses ultra-high temperatures to bake glare- and refraction-taming coatings onto external lens surfaces.Īll that optical performance would be diminished in a clumsy body, but the Ultravid is compact, tight, and stylish. ![]() It’s so good, in fact, that it would have scored quite high in our field of full-size binoculars, those built around objective lenses from 42mm to 50mm. ![]() This is perhaps the finest mid-size binocular we’ve ever tested. ![]()

Moca museum opening hours5/16/2023 ![]() This article was originally published on August 16, 2022. With reporting from The Associated Press. “We deserve as much support from the museum as the artists do.” “They have made it seem as though there needs to be a choice made between supporting programming and the artists, and supporting workers, which I think is a very unfair comparison to be making,when the workers are the people who are helping to create the art, interpret it and present it,” Elliott said. In a social media post, the union asked people planning to visit the museum on Friday not to cross the picket line and to reschedule their visits. “For economic and budgetary reasons, the museum cannot commit to a guarantee of substantial multi-year wage increases at this time,” Wright said. The museum is offering a $16 per hour minimum with no guaranteed increases in 20, the union said. The union wants a minimum hourly rate of $18 in the contract’s first year and raises over the next two years bringing that to about $20 per hour. Two-thirds of unionized workers at the museum make less than $15.50 per hour, according to the union. ![]() The museum will remain open during the one-day strike, with managers filling in at key posts, a spokesperson said. The workers, citing low pay and job insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic, formed the union early last year, joining the staff of other renowned museums who have unionized, including Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The union, affiliated with the United Auto Workers Local 2110, represents about 100 full- and part-time workers, including curators, educators, administrative staff, visitors services, custodial and other workers. “Considering the creativity and care MASS MoCA leadership has put into developing proposals that are innovative, equitable, and address the root causes of employees’ concerns-whether they’re represented by the union or not-this characterization is not only disappointing, it's incorrect.” “By saying MASS MoCA is bargaining in bad faith, the union is saying that MASS MoCA is intentionally and knowingly sabotaging the legal bargaining process,” museum spokesperson Jenny Wright said in an email. She described the museum’s bargaining tactics as “antagonistic.” School tours, corporate tours, and other group tours will continue by appointment throughout the week. “We've been in negotiations now for almost a year and we decided to go on strike because of a lack of progress at the table and the museum's failure to bargain in good faith,” Maro Elliott, the museum's manager of institutional giving and a member of the union’s bargaining committee, said in an interview. Hours at 215 Centre Street Beginning on October 27, 2022, MOCA will welcome the general public only on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET and two hours before any in-person programming. Friday, according to a statement released Monday. The MASS MoCA workers have scheduled a strike and picket outside the museum from 8 a.m. Unionized workers at North Adams' Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, frustrated with the progress of contract negotiations, have authorized a one-day strike for later this week. On display for the first time together anywhere in this part of the country are “Narcissus Garden” - an expansive room of bowling ball-size reflective steel orbs - and “Where the Lights in My Heart Go”- a walk-in multireflective cube spotted with seemingly infinite light.īoth pieces are on loan from Westporters Derek and Lauren Goodman.MASS MoCA, in the city of North Adams. The opening corresponded with the exhibit of two renowned installations by artist Yayoi Kusama. The organization is 100 percent privately funded. “Now we can run multiple programs in multiple rooms at the same time,” she said. “We have quadrupled our size, which was really the point,” Innes said, noting while the previous space on Riverside Avenue was beautiful, “It was almost like trying to do all that programming in a one-room schoolhouse.” ![]() The 1926 building, which was part Martha Stewart’s former studio, was over a year in renovation - part of a six-acre parcel that allows the rejuvenated organization to comfortably house exhibits and offering education classes and events. ![]() ![]() ![]() Software: I have Xcode installed, and the apps running in the background were Spotify and iTerm.

Spiral knights seraphynx5/16/2023 ![]() A group with one Seraphynx and three Maskeraith would probably be the best choice. (Personal opinion: The Drakon is useless, the Seraphyinx nice, and Maskeraith awesome though difficult to use. Maskeraith doesn't bring much to the general fight (except for that poison), but shines in special situations through you focusing something or getting focused. El divino Seraphynx se asemeja a una angelical criatura felina y utiliza sus poderes luminosos para defender la fiesta de los ataques. Seraphynx generally increases the survivability for the team and opens up some new possibilitys in the fight for either pretecting your team or debuffing a few enemys. The Drakon gives overall damage for the team, but can't adapt to special situations. I don't want to say one Battle Sprite is completely better than any other one. In my opinion, Seraphynx is bad, Drakon is OK, and Maskeraith is great. Another ultimate gives you a major damage and attack speed buff after you've used your invisibility, though this one only last for two seconds, but is great to burst down what is in front of. However, you can buy more for 2000 energy each. One of Maskeraith ultimate abilitys give third ability a chance to inflict status effects on enemys, which is pretty usefull since those will often stop a few monsters from attacking you while you have their aggro. The third skill is most useful for drawing aggro (like the axact opposite of the invisiblity) this is quite dangerous, but very helpful if want to draw enemys away from team, who are low on health or are needling (term for using a specific risky gunner line). ), but can also be used to loose aggro when you are low or while rushing an an area. Which i mostly useful to sneak up on priority targets (healers, turrest. As second it can cloak you so enemys won't see you (, they can still hit you though,). At first it can simply poison enemys, which works as a simple damage buff against some enemys. Maskeraith is a bit more versatile than the other two. The problem here, Drakon only gains this buff, an ultimate ability, when nearly maximum level and many players are too stupid to take it. It's not a very strong buff, but since it stays for a fair time and affects all party members it is a simple increase to the teams damage. The most useful thing about Drakon is a party wide buff to attack speed an damage. (Mostly because others are bugged or just useless.) (And some people who aren't selfish pricks also shield their teammates.) The only really useful ultimate (and offensive ability) for Seraphynx is a defense-down debuff. In my opinion Seraphynx is very good Battle-Sprite for beginners, because it is a good Sprite overall, but more because it doesn't need ultimate abilitys to do what a Seraphynx does. ![]() Pc remoter mobect5/16/2023 ![]() New global research from HP Wolf Security found 82% of security leaders operating a hybrid work model have gaps in their organization’s security posture.
