𝗦𝗮𝗸𝘂𝗿𝗮. The vast sea of Cherry Blossoms were calmy outrageous with an intoxicating aroma that saturated the crisp brisk air. Though a large crowd was present, an occasional break in the horde combined with a breeze inspired the petals to detach and glide by around you, taking you to your own space, still and quiet for just a moment.

𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 --> 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. I am nearly always a window seat sort of fellow. Gives me time to think, reflect, tinker, imagine. Flight is focused meditation to tune out, but also tune way the hell in.

@WilliamShatner Happy birthday Bill!

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱. Enjoyed doing this panel discussing some topics surrounding the state of lenses with @atlaslensco + @dzofilm + @laowa.cine + @nisiopticsusa moderated by @jayholben at the @lens_summit event. I could have gone a few hours honestly and gone deeper, but we may or may not be in a golden age of glass for sure :) But there's more glass coming and perhaps some new ideas surrounding it all.

𝗔 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀. There were a few more than this, but this is the majority of new and interesting glass here at The Lens Summit in Portland. An astounding amount of choice filmmakers have in 2026. #cinematography

𝗡𝗼 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗟𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮. Tried starting drama, but he won me over with vibes.

⬤ Up.

Jeff Kaplan is playing The Legend of California on Twitch right now! Come and hang out with us. twitch.tv/kintsugiyama

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁. About 100,000 gallons if I recall correctly. Similar if not exactly the same capacity of Warner Brothers water tower.

𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀.

𝗚𝗼 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱. Ideas man. They do be taking you places late into the night.

𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲. I've filmed a great deal of the canyon for several years from the helicopter for numerous projects, and it always delivers astonishing visuals at a scale that is hard to comprehend. In the right light, the tones are just wonderfully dynamic with compositions I can dive into for years only enhanced by a richness in texture that tells an ancient story that is hard to comprehend. #cinematography #aerial

𝗦𝘄𝗮𝘆. High winds in SoCal, making those big trees dance to slow bpm prog rock it seems.

@elonmusk Who will do it first in Corgi form?

Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form

𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 + 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻. Witnessed it all in a dark and remote place. Our quiet-yet-loud world spins providing the confortable vantage point to witness such wonderful things very far away. Inspiring to say the least. Wishing you all well from rancho de Phil.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘂𝘀. It's March cowboys, cowgirl, and cowbots.

𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗹𝘁 𝟱. There will be a day where you need to order a very specific length of Thunderbolt 5 cable and you will need an unusually large quantity of them for a shoot, but to make it less weird, you'll also have a small packet of Skittles included with your purchase. But hey, these are durable and pretty sweet.

@babyjubes Whoa!

i just learned u can multi search multiple accts….😳

𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝟯𝟮 𝗨𝟯𝟮𝟮𝟲𝗤 - 𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱. It has been a very, very long time since I could recommend a desktop monitor for imaging professionals, however, this new Dell has gone through my rather aggressive tests for a while and really impressed the hell out of me. It's now available and priced well considering all it can do. So well that it is outperforming reference displays that are over 10X more expensive with considerably more features like a built-in colorimeter and extraordinarily well thought out menus with support for all modern SDR and HDR Color Gamuts and Gammas plus Dobly Vision support to boot. This is a UHD 4K 4th gen QD-OLED anti-glare panel with 120Hz refresh rate that can handle true 1000nit HDR monitoring. Clean and dynamic contrast into deep blacks that you'd expect. The panel pixel design really draws detail nicely. Top to bottom I'm extremely impressed by this effort and will likely writeup a detailed report if there's interest. This to me is the new bar when it comes to price, performance, and features for those doing color-critical work. I already have two that have been here for testing, but I am currently adding another 4X to swap out on my other systems. And yes, deep Windows integration, works well woth MacOS with P3 support, and Linux via on-monitor hardware driven support. You can also automate your scheduled calibrations across displays using Dell's Color Management tools on Windows. Making my life a whole lot easier. Very nicely done. #color #dell
