There are a sophisticated set of enabling technologies, but the feature’s goal was incredibly simple: to capture the vitality of the world around us. The Live Photo patent has a picture of my daughter as a toddler spinning in a dress in front of our house. As with a Live Photo,
live photos hit this perfect intersection of tech & tenderness. it might be the most quietly brilliant thing apple ever made. it’s a subtle wordless trick that turns stillness into something breathing. i just stumbled on one & it hit like a gut punch. ridiculous that all photos

Leica strikes me as a fantastic hardware company that is really struggling to make software work. Fuji has done hybrid viewfinders, tons of companies do picture-in-picture focus aids etc. — this is a repackaged Q with an M mount for $9000.

Bizarre how badly Leica fumbled M-EV1. The only focus aid: imprecise focus peaking + a full-screen magnifier. Exactly the worst of the M and the worst of the Q. I hoped they would have come up with something better like Fuji, but perhaps the team was too busy making watches.

intrigued by an EVF-only Leica M. I’ve rocked my Leica glass on a Sony A1 for years now, because I find the output and user experience of the M less than great. The A1 also survived a motorcycle crash pretty well (the Leica lens less so)

Walked by a barn and snapped this. iPhone 17 Pro, Process Zero, no edits.

really glad I didn’t have to buy an AI browser just to get it to integrate with my issue tracker

after dealing with SFO traffic yet again I believe it is time we reopen Crissy Field airport. Nonstops to LA, New York. The lounge is a beach

iPhone Air has a smaller sensor than the Pro iPhones, but it focuses significantly closer (15cm vs 20). I love its bokeh — just a beautiful lens for these shots.

Someone should start a nostalgia-bait account that's just pictures of the present day, college kids playing volley ball on the beach in Santa Cruz, leafy New England villages, cub scouts roasting marshmallows around a campfire. It's all still happening, you just aren't doing it.

Not to be mean but you guys out there in the world's most beautiful paradise bay need to get some better hobbies
The plan? At dusk, 50 people went to San Francisco's longest dead-end street and all ordered a Waymo at the same time. The world's first: WAYMO DDOS
