My Flickr account stats spiked last week, probably because I shared a bunch of the weekend’s photos with friends. Yesterday I got another strange spike, this time from the r/AbandonedPorn subreddit (don’t worry, it’s safe for work). There’s a lot of nice stuff on there, and someone added this photo of mine:

It’s a shot I took of a diner in 1990 or so on 35mm film, somewhere on the west side of the Hudson by the Bear Mountain Bridge. Commuting to my parents’ old house in Putnam County, I used to find different ways to get across the river when traffic was backed up. At some point, I stumbled upon this place and had some film in my camera.

In the meantime, I inquired about a castoff Mac Pro at work today, and found that I can purchase it for a reduced price as a piece of depreciated equipment. Which means I’ve got a possible replacement for two balky 10-year-old G5s at a nominal price.
