A grainy black-and-white image taken from above, possibly through a window. It shows a street lined with institutional buildings, each with air conditioning units on the exterior. Cars are parked and moving along the road. Trees and streetlights dot the sidewalk, and a fence separates pedestrians from traffic. The photo has a vintage, film-like texture, evoking a quiet urban moment.

we drove to negaunee ("iron city") and shopped a little. (i bought a 1963 henry mancini record and a 1930 pamphlet, "how to throw a party.")
negaunee has some cool old buildings.

The photo shows the Vista Theater in Negaunee, Michigan. The theater, constructed in 1925, is a three-story building made of yellow-buff brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building was condemned in 2020 after a roof collapse, but restoration efforts have been underway since then.

The photo shows the facade of a brick building that houses a business named Tino's Bar & Pizza. The building has a prominent arched window on the second floor and a green, decorative cornice at the top. The ground floor features two large windows displaying the business name and a central entrance. The text on the windows indicates that the business is "Family owned and operated since 1982". The image was taken on a clear, sunny day.

The photo shows a historic, three-story red brick building with a prominent turret, located at 101 S Pioneer Avenue in Negaunee, MI. The building features arched windows and a dark-colored roof. The property was originally built as a home and later converted to office space.

The photo shows the Negaunee City Hall, a historic two-story building in Negaunee, Michigan, with a prominent clock tower.

Architecture: The building, erected in 1915, is constructed with alternating courses of white pressed brick and grayish-white limestone, featuring terra-cotta detailing.

Clock Tower: A ninety-four-foot-high clock tower rises above the main entrance.

Location: The building is located in Negaunee, Michigan. The words "CITY HALL" are visible above the main entrance.

The Norwegian Trade Union Association, Anarcho-syndicalism in Norway!
The NSF-IAA upholds the anarcho-syndicalist tradition in Norway, rooted in the organization’s founding in 1917 and its historic commitment to the principles of direct action, federalism, and worker self-management. The NSF has been a section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA-AIT) since 1922, maintaining its place within the international anarcho-syndicalist movement.
It makes me smile to see the NS…

The poster promotes the Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund (NSF), the Norwegian Syndicalist Federation affiliated with the International Workers' Association (IAA). It features a black-and-white photo of a large group of people, likely members of the organization.

The text "Anarkosyndikalismen i Norge!" ("Anarchosyndicalism in Norway!") is prominently displayed, emphasizing the group's focus on anarcho-syndicalist activism. Contact details for the NSF-IAA appear at the bottom of the poster.

London Records album cover of Chris Connors lp shows nearly identical black and white photo of CC, but something's amiss. Her hair has wavy lines in it, like someone took an eraser to the picture and tried styling her hair with it. Come to think of it, her face looks kind of weird, too - sort of a half picture, half illustration.

Communication Efficient Robotic Mixed Reality with Gaussian Splatting Cross-Layer Optimization
Realizing low-cost communication in robotic mixed reality (RoboMR) systems presents a challenge, due to the necessity of uploading high-resolution images through wireless channels. This paper proposes Gaussian splatting (GS) RoboMR (GSMR), which enables the simulator to opportunistically render a photo-realistic view from the robot's pose by calling ``memory'' from a GS model, thus reducing the need for excessive image uploads. However, the GS model may involve discrepancies compared to the act…

My kitten printer ran out of toner

Photo of four itty bitty kittens with similar stripes all cuddled up on a towel. The shade of the stripes are black, black/grey, grey, and then white/orange which makes it seem like the color ran out by the time the last kitty the "printed".

Last Monday I parked on Linden Ave and walked up to the campus and saw an something amazing at end of an little alley behind the Breazzano Center so I went to the end of it and got this shot
#photo #photography #crane

In the center of the frame a large crane with a yellow space frame mast and boom looks smaller than it really is with the boom pointing towards the lower right with the hook halfway down, to the left there is a beige building in dark shade close to us, at the upper right another building close to us sticks up in a sharp corner also in the shade, and towards the bottom a distance row of brick and pastel buildings is brightly lit and there is roughly a triangle of blue sky in the middle.

This is when the cats decided to join humanity in the fight against the machines

The face of someone who unplugged her own food dispenser and didn't get fed for hours.

A view of the crowd after the Ithaca 5 and 10 in front of Ithaca High School... more photos that Kilian Weinberger, myself and maybe some others took here: #photo

Older and younger people wearing various sorts of athletic clothes mill around on the concrete Plaza in front of a school building on the right with a flagpole with an American flag with a New York flag under it, in the distance can be seen parked cars, a row of trees, and a blue sky with mostly big cumulus clouds but some higher altitude clouds too.

About 400 runners off the start at Ithaca High school this Sunday for the Ithaca 5 & 10 -- a rare photo I didn't color grade because I'm paying close attention to how the trees have gotten darker in the past two weeks because they're already starting to turn
#photo #photography

A few runners at the head of a big crowd are halfway across a small bridge with green arches on the side, there are ugly power lines crossing behind the bridge and receding along a highway running parallel to the road; a range of green plant colors can be seen from a few that are somewhat bright green to darker greens and other trees that are showing the first signs of red and orange as well as a big spreading one past the left arch that I always thing was on the red side of very dark green

On the left side a concrete building cut like a punched card seems to lean into the frame whie towards the center stands a clocktower obscuring the sun with shadows radiating outward, such as the one that de-emphasizes the closer people in the frame

Two flowers in the center that look a lot like Rudbeckia but have more than one row of petals and have red marks near the center of petals with some blurred out leaves and petals from other plants in the background

Descending down a staircase into the gallery of Milstein makes me feel like Darth Vader walking onto the set of a 1970s movie spacecraft

In the dead center is a cyclist on a road bike wearing a blue helmet and high vis yellow vest, behind him is a white man wearing a red tank top with blue lines says Cornell with a blue bib that says 354 in white and pink shoes with his feet entirely off the ground with some telephone poles foliage and a few onlookers behind.
