And the only non-photographic clue I have, a word (location?) handwritten on the sheet holding these negatives. (3/2, I can't count today)

I'm assuming German because the book of negatives is printed in German (and I was told years ago that it was from Germany), and a photographer not only because it's a book specifically for holding negatives, but the film shows every sign of being self-developed. Also, a lot of the shots seem to be a range of exposures for the same subject.

I'll cross-post these to Bluesky later ... I've a whole book of negatives to go through :)

@funambuline Malheureusement, cela ne semble pas surprenant. Meta possède déjà la localisation en temps réel de ses utilisateurs.

Pour cette raison, je n’ai aucune de leurs applications sur mon téléphone. Cela inclut WhatsApp, ce qui me rend plus rebelle que Che Guevara aux yeux de mes amis européens.

Mastodonfunambuline 🦏🌻 (@funambuline@mastodon.social)Il y a un changement depuis hier sur instagram qui est assez grave : une carte localisée des gens sur instagram. Le pire : pas déployé en UE pour l’instant sauf que plusieurs sources affirment qu’ils voient quand même les comptes européens… car on ne peut pas faire la manip pour refuser tant que c’est pas deployé 🙃 Bref : 🔺allez checker que vous ne partagez PAS votre position avec les produits META🔺

I don't have time to go geolocate this right at the second, but I bet someone might recognize this postcard (1940's) -- labeled "Unidentified Californian Hillside"

Looks like an estate/mansion/castle, consistent with Lockwod Valley/Frazier Park/Gorman/Lake Hughes/Leona Valley/Acton (perhaps farther South), IMHO.

Monochrome real photographic postcard showing a desert hillside, probably in California, but not known. Publisher not stated, not numbered, Agfa Ansco stamp box, c.1930s-40s. Postally unused. Very good condition, with very slight corner bumps.

Strava’s #geolocation causes yet another national security incident this week as bodyguards in #Sweden map their run performances for the world to admire.

This problem has happened before, with the #PerverseIncentives of the #gamification and #privacy permutations that violate the least-surprise #ux principle. Here’s how to turn these privacy leaks off: lifehacker.com/health/stravas-

Lifehacker · Why Strava Is a Privacy Risk for the President (and You Too)Strava is a hugely popular, and really nicely featured, running and cycling app. It’s oumyr pick for the best running app, despite its flaws. But it’s always had serious privacy issues, including the one just reported by French newspaper Le Monde—it allegedly revealed the locations of world leaders via their bodyguards’ Strava accounts.

This CBC article (a free ad for a company trying to make location information closed and proprietary) contains exactly one useful bit of information, in a quote from a U Waterloo prof:

"I'm also wondering why the 911 operator couldn't have just pinged their phone and then relayed the [latitude and longitude] to police?" he also said in an email to CBC News.

Schneier on Security · Location Tracking App for Foreigners in Moscow - Schneier on SecurityRussia is proposing a rule that all foreigners in Moscow install a tracking app on their phones. Using a mobile application that all foreigners will have to install on their smartphones, the Russian state will receive the following information: Residence location Fingerprint Face photograph Real-time geo-location monitoring This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this. Qatar did it in 2022 around the World Cup: “After accepting the terms of these apps, moderators will have complete control of users’ devices,” he continued. “All personal content, the ability to edit it, share it, extract it as well as data from other apps on your device is in their hands. Moderators will even have the power to unlock users’ devices remotely.” ...

We will be hosting a workshop on AI support for #geolocation at #nr25 - from using prompts as a sparring partner to analyze images or write Overpass queries to tools like Earth Kit and Geospy. Any suggestions what needs to be included?

Still finding my footing in this space.

Been working through high-difficulty geolocation challenges solo — learning a lot, failing a lot, tracking until something clicks.

Not sure who else works like this — patient, slow, detail-first.

If you're out there, I’d value knowing. Even just to follow along.
