Today’s micro.blog photo word thing is Reflection. This is the first photo that came to mind, from sometime in the late 1990’s. I shot this on color infrared slide film, which produces these crazy and somewhat-unpredictable false colors. Sometimes I miss shooting film! 📷🎞️
\n\n
FYI I’m doing the micro.blog photo challenge this month. I’d forgotten these cross-post to my Mastodon account. If the daily photos annoy anyone I’ll turn off the cross-posting. Someday I’ll understand social networking…

@johnbrayton I’ve yet to test if it works. My guess is not; it was just a decorative piece of furniture at our library. If it works (or if I feel like fixing it), yes, I could get modern stuff running on it. There’s a 300-ohm antenna terminal on the back. I’d run HDMI into a composite converter, then through a VCR for modulation to channel 3. Lastly one of those old antenna/game adapters. Because I’m me I have all that stuff. :-)

Finished reading: A Song for a New Day by Sarah Pinsker 📚I enjoyed this quite a bit. I’m a big fan of live music, so I sympathized with the characters. An easy read. Shouldn’t be challenging for those who aren’t SciFi fans.
