Painters

These guys were painting the front of a building in Nashville. There was work going on all over the place to repair flood damage, but I think this was just normal maintenance.

Vendors only

We went to the Nashville Farmer’s Market a couple of times – we had to go back for more of the super-juicy peaches we found there. One of the buildings was closed because of the flooding, but there were still plenty of fruit, vegetable, and sock (?) vendors around in the undamaged buildings.

Goofy fish

We went to Nashville for a wedding last weekend. Monday was Memorial Day and there weren’t a lot of shops open – so we drove around a while and went for a walk in Centennial Park, where we saw this silly fish.

Updated image renaming script

To help keep track of my photos, I like to rename them so their filenames are based on the date and time they were taken. I’ve used a couple of different scripts to do this, settling on a single-line bash script that runs exiftool. This works really well, but sometimes the extensions on my photos are jpg and sometimes they’re JPG. So, I added a couple of lines to the renaming script to first lowercase the extensions. Here’s the new script:


#!/bin/bash
ls -l *.JPG > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
for f in *.JPG
do
mv "$f" "${f%.JPG}.jpg"
done
fi
ls -l *.jpg > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
exiftool -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S%%-c.%%e "-filename<CreateDate" *.jpg
fi

Dogwood flowers

Since our dogwood tree didn’t bloom much this year I’ve been looking around for a blooming tree – I found this one and a couple of others at Brookside Gardens.
