Shot ...and chaser (and it's only Tuesday): Two new 8x6" prints done over the weekend, from one of my fave repeat hikes in the Allgäuer Alps...
Alpsee and view into the Lechtal Alps (November 2021)
Himmeleck mountain pass with Großer Wilder (October 2023)
I find the aesthetics of the Kallitype process are so nicely complementing the timelessness of these places...
For some of the next prints I will be switching to Rochelle salt as developer for supposedly even…

On the night of February 5, 2026, the #Rubin team submitted a large batch of approximately 20,000 #asteroid candidate discoveries to the #MinorPlanetCenter, corresponding to roughly 246,000 individual observations: minorplanetcenter.net/media/ne - the "MPC successfully processed the entire submission. This unusually large batch provided a valuable end-to end stress test of our pipeline and allowed us to identify a few bottlenecks and areas where performance and automation can be improved."

"Mandelson’s lawyers, Mishcon de Reya"
I wonder where we've heard of Mishcon de Reya before? Are they a very reputable law firm, I wonder? Oh, yes, the money-laundering specialists involved in the persecution of Maltese anti-corruption campaigner Daphne Caruana Galizia, before her murder.
Lovely people.
