A black and white landscape photo of a white goose with black wingtips. The black on the wingtips covers about a quarter of the wing. Otherwise, the goose is pure white. The goose is flying towards the left with its wings fully outstretched as though it were gliding. The goose appears to be looking at the camera. The eyeball is black.

The image depicts a rural scene with several individuals engaged in agricultural work, specifically picking peas. This activity is taking place on Sinclair Ranch, which has recently been planted with pea crops. The workers are seen carrying baskets and containers filled with the harvested produce along what appears to be a dirt path leading towards a collection truck. In addition to adult pickers, there's also at least one child visible in the scene, walking away from the group of workers. This indicates that family involvement is present within this agricultural labor force. The setting suggests an expansive field area with no significant trees or structures nearby. In the background, we can observe a flat landscape and possibly some distant hills. The image conveys a sense of community effort in agriculture, highlighting rural life during what appears to be mid-20th-century California, as indicated by its black-and-white composition which is typical for that era's photography. The presence of Sinclair Ranch suggests this may have been part of an organized agricultural operation or farm system.

Holy shit, is #Flock speedrunning to be the shittiest company of 2025?

“After 404 Media contacted Flock for comment, the exposed panel became no longer available. Flock then declined to comment.”

Desert railroad station.

(Kelso Depot Visitor's Center, Kelso, California, 10/22/2025.)

#Train #Railway #Desert #California #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a old Spanish style train station in a desert landscape. The station is on the left. The view is looking down along four sets of railroad tracks. Two tracks join in an upside down shape just in front of the photographer. Five tall palm trees, a tree with a very long trunk and a tuft of long wide stiff green leaves at the top, line a fence that is between the station and the tracks on the right.

Cafe Zoetrope, San Francisco

"Many other musicians and musical groups were allowed to utilize this studio, including the Grateful Dead."

"Francis Ford Coppola bought the building in 1972 to be the headquarters for his production company, American Zoetrope. A number of his films including the Godfather II and III, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, One From The Heart, The Outsiders, and Dracula were written, edited, or sound mixed within these walls."
