The moment she took this photograph is actually on the  video on the Fraenkel gallery website. Not only was it taken with a medium format analogue camera (meaning she only had a few moments to get off the shot) but I doubt the timing, what with the distant birds, and the breaking of the small wave, could have been bettered if she had been shooting 25 frames per second with a digital DSLR.

I've no title on this photograph by Grannan, coming across it on eBay, the image on a show invite from 2008.

A fine day might presumably be sufficient to explain all the random strangers saying 'hello' in passing today as I cycled by. Maybe it was my fault, for smiling at the fineness of the day. They were nice. I thank the helloers for their hellos.

This was a really tough game. Judit Age 6 bot demolished me yesterday, but finally an approving comment in the final moments of a re-match. I'm not above posting the moment before my last move (playing black), which I probably savoured far, far too much. I'm becoming curious about the Netflix documentary on the real prodigy from Budapest. Later : OK, I now know Judit is no longer 6, and she, Judit Polgar, went on to be one of the greatest chess players. The Netflix series a few years ago, 'The Queen's Gambit' was essential viewing and Polgar's story has been a hit, also, upon its release a few days ago. I'm definitely not playing any older Judit bots that might be on Chess. com, such as Judit Age 7 , no thanks. Let's leave it at 1-1. Please .
