As we head in to the long winter here in Chicago, I revisited a photo I took last spring. Shot on a Sony a7iv with the Sony FE 35mm f/1.8

P7Pro has a larger screen at a higher resolution which will consume significantly more power. I'm sure some part of it is also due to inefficiency of the Tensor processor

Cute and sweet and all, and I'm glad she's okay. Really. But I'm not sure that "we couldn't find our child for a few hours" is news-worthy.

Glad to hear he's recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.

But also... Tumblr?

Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson's disease. But it's been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You'll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

In 2020, Chicago raised its bridges leading downtown during the BLM protests to try to limit crime and destruction in the area. As cool as this shot was to capture, it's bittersweet to know the context of why the bridges were all raised.

 

I took this photo a few years ago in Chicago. There were still visitor restrictions related to Covid, hence the barriers around the iconic "Bean." Shot on my Sony a7iii on a tripod. If you're interested, I've got more photos on my Insta @bluu.ig
