+1 to this. Switching from one proprietary tool to another feels like switching landlords. Competition is good, but having groundworks in an open direction is even better.

Oh, this #monochrome just in time for #Fensterfreitag
Spring, 2020. My corner two offices ago would let in light every early morning and afternoon in a most magical way. There was this pocket of space that everyone left for me because it was right next to me. Whenever we had office parties, Cori would sit in this pocket to read or draw.

These three #monochrome photographs were taken in November, 2019.
A coworker offered to take me to dinner. We strolled around Paris at night. He talked about how he wanted to be an architect and the buildings of his hometown.
The other two were taken on the streets near KB roaster. I have such poor sense of wayfinding that cityscape to me is always going to be marked in the unit of cafés.
In these photographs, the important meetings were done, and I was going to go home in a few days.

I have deleted my #Instagram account. 'broken_del_key' was my name there. I will be using it here as keepsake, until I don't.
I'll be sharing a few #monochrome photographs from there. This one I think was from an airport in Thailand, right before Covid hit the world.

Stacked some rocks at Little Corona del Mar. A few seconds after the first one, a man walked by and asked if he could take a picture.
A few seconds after the second one, a huge wave crashed onto the rocks and knocked them over. Before the wave, they withstood three big waves.
The waves look muddy, but after I swim pass (a lot of) the kelp, the water is amazingly clean.

Some of my favourites at the Getty. So moved. Sad that I didn’t have the physical strength to go through everything - actually, no, not that sad. I will be back.
On the way home, we stopped by Jackson Market at Culver to grab some sandwich and coffee for the road.

I used this in tonight's bedtime story!
---
One day, mud baby went on an adventure. Not the scary type of adventure, more like a fun walk in the garden.
In the centre of the garden, she saw flowers that extended from one bush to the other like a little bridge.
On top of the bridge, there were the tinest dewdrop babies that were dancing and playing and rolling. They were using the bridge both as a way to get around and as their stage.
