When I was young and poor I used to walk across the street from the camera store where I worked and buy vinyl record albums at Quonset Hut, which was the cool place to buy music (and music-related t-shirts) but also the closest. I didn't choose what I bought by…
Book review of Zaido, by Yukari Chikura, Wednesday, December 9, 3:02 p.m., liveblogging now: Gray slipcase, pleasantly soft to the touch. Thin cardstock. I must be careful not to damage it. It is difficult to remove the book from the slipcase. I try holding the book in the air and…
(Note: This article is part of a series.) Prior installments of this series grouped a decade of articles from the New York Times into a single post. No more. There are too many listings over a ten-year period. Going forward I will break the listing into manageable chunks, in this…

I don't normally publish on a Saturday but I missed a day this week and I wanted to share a few images from day two of my trip back to the Mojave National Preserve. For four weeks last year I lived inside the park in housing provided by the National…
Right now I'm in Baker, California, a feed and fuel stop for the Vegas-bound, right at the edge of the Mojave National Preserve. I've been making images with the iPhone 12 Max Max and I'm putting together a nice review—only that takes time and I wanted to share some of…
