Next time, agree to do it her way, and ask to do it your way too. Then show the results.

It's slow today, so I'll post our annual family Easter photo. The sun was bright and directly overhead, but my wife insisted that this is where we were doing the photo. You can see that all of us were squinting and the boys were not happy. It was nice having the family together, but we were missing my son and his wife. If you can't tell, I'm the old man in the photo.
This is my favorite shot from our trip last week to Utah. We've been traveling quite a bit for the last 8 years. Too many photos to process, too little time to share. I know I won't be able to catch up with everything but I hope that everyone is well.

Hi Chuong! Good to "see" you here, someday we should meet in person, Cinci's only an hour away, (2 if 75 is misbehaving)

Agree it’s slow around here, I’ll help move it along with the AIS 28mm f/2.8. Ray, you’re giving me some GAS with those 28mm f/2 shots…
I had the f2.0 a long time ago, then sold it for some reason I don't remember now. Finally picked one up again last month, and have to say I'm enjoying the lens a lot.
James, great captures of very tasty looking treats. How does someone keep their belt size down in the Markus household.
Andy great photographs from the museum.
Chuong, excellent landscape capture with the 16/3.5. It has been a long time, good to see you.
Vatican City:
One last look of a 2023 edition Christmas tree.
Egyptian Obelisk, taken from Alexandria by super nice chap Emperor Caligula in 40 AD. The 326 ton monument was moved to its current location in 1586.
Bernini Fountain 17th century, one of two in St. Peter's square. No water pumps here, both are powered by gravity using an ancient Roman aqueduct as their water source.
About this time yesterday - all imaging froze on all workstations. The nexus was a 3 year old 8TB drive attached to a my first homemade server (about 12 years old), but the cause still has me curious. A SATA connector on the Shuttle XG41 motherboard just spontaneously snapped off, but allowed files to corruptly go through to & from the drive for a bit. It is almost a headless server, running an old version of linux using Kodi as a sort of GUI. (235mb total install size super efficient OpenELEC) I mention this to sing the praises of another really old operating system - DOS. Windows, MacOS-X, and Linux all said the 8 Tb drive file system was corrupt and "could not be mounted". My most recent backup was from March 25th, but the number of projects and files generated since then made me sick to my stomach (about 500 Gb). Film scans done two different ways, Gopro video footage, and tons of new photos. During the last few weeks I have built 2.9 (just waiting on a SCSI card for the 3rd one) antique computers, but installing Windows 2000 for the old scanners I hope to employ on a big project got me appreciating the DOS underpinnings of MS operating systems until WinXP left it behind. Every little thing would trigger Windows 2000 to run Check disk. Last time I choose to use it on purpose was many years ago with chkdsk /f or the /r switch from an administrative command prompt. So, I hooked the drive to one of my turned off main Win10 machines and booted it up. Wouldn't you know it, but it immediately triggered chkdsk without me doing anything. It took about an hour, but it repaired the drive. (which is being cloned as I type this) The food photos from Easter would have been a tiny part of the loss - these (below) would have been lost as well - plus some new IR shots with non-Nikkor lenses (on my Viewbug web page). Thank you chkdsk!
Ray, keep them coming with the 28. I’ve really liked its rendering on the close ups. Speaking of, Jim great save on the disk, and what lenses on those shots? The ones of the kids are great shots for the subject and rendering.
