@skinnylatte if you’re ever in Glenview / Dimond in Oakland, check out Mohka House. Great Yemeni coffee and tea spot with dangerously good things to eat. One of my favorite neighborhood spots…

The Leica M3 I picked up last month needed to go off to the doctor (the esteemed Youxin Ye) for a CLA. I just got it back, cosmetically it looks the same (because it was in near mint condition to begin with), but it operates so much more smoothly than it did when I got it. I’m taking it to the SF Instant Photowalk this Sunday (along with the Polaroid SX-70), and I absolutely cannot wait to run some Tri-X through it.

@skinnylatte Every time I visit my folks, Ad Astra is a must! My mom is a fiend for their sourdough. I’ve mentally cataloged a handful of their Monterey Peninsula grocer network spots, too, just in case I’m not able to hit the shop when I’m in town.

A series of events that started two weeks ago on a neighborhood message board regarding a used microscope ended today with me taking possession of this early ‘60s Leica M3, Summicron 50mm f/2, and Leica-Meter MR. All in immaculate condition. (I got the microscope too, a ‘67 Leitz, as well as a Nikon FE and a Nikormat FT2). What a way to end the year. #BelieveInFilm #HappyNewYear

@kingrat the work is full of people who think ketchup is spicy

@skinnylatte I was *just* thinking that I need to invest in a proper SX-70. My latest in a long line of cheap plastic instants, a Lomo Square, crapped out today, won’t focus at any distance, something is rattling around inside…definitely a case of you-get-what-you-pay-for (it cost $80 new on sale from Lomo last year). But I do love the instant film look and process and the whole instant vibe. And while shitty cameras have their charm, it only counts when they actually work.

Big British boxing bout on DAZN (or your favorite bootleg stream) right now. Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois for the IBF Heavyweight Championship. Nothing against AJ, but I’m rooting for Dubois to get the upset. #boxing #JoshuaDubois

Given the opportunity, Tank cleans out this whole division. I honestly don’t think there’s a fighter at 135 lbs. who can beat him. #boxing

Afternoon matinee at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland. Really stoked to finally be seeing Dune 2 (70mm in the main theatre no less). Rewatched the first one last night so the story is fresh in my head.

Off the plane, through immigration, baggage claim, customs, and into a cab in 30 minutes flat. I love flying into Tokyo.

Much to the chagrin of my teenage daughter, my wife and I have gotten the day-after eradication of Xmas down to a highly effective tactical strike. Not yet 10 a.m. and not a trace remains. 🤜🏻🎄🤛🏻 #OnToWhatsNext

@Jerm Totally man, 100%. And I love when that politics falls apart because the talent can’t be denied. I was pleasantly surprised that this fight even got made.

Bud Crawford put on an absolute masterclass in Vegas last night against an undefeated Errol Spence. Most boxing press never wanted to include Crawford in the conversation about pound-for-pound greats, he was the bogeyman. They can’t ignore him now. Undisputed four belt champion in two divisions. #boxing #SpenceCrawford
