Adobe
A tweak to the photo workflow
I’m trying to stick with the Adobe suite for processing, editing, and managing photos. I prefer Capture One’s editing process, but Lightroom Classic has everything else going for it, (ecosystem, tooling, ubiquity, etc.) so that’s where I’ve settled for now. But I’d love to take
Black-paint Leica M10-R. Beautiful.
Yeah, I’d definitely get the black-paint version. The only problem is that kit is around $17,000 as pictured. Still, just look at it.

My dad on Father's Day
He’s a good one.
Trying to live on the iPad for a while
As an antidote for my usual spiral of sitting at a giant screen full of a dozen windows, staring, clicking, staring, clicking, etc. I thought I’d try living on my iPad for a while. I’m not an iPad person, even though I’ve used one since the day
SOLD: Leica Q2 Monochrom
I purchased the Leica Q2 Monochrom (new) from Camera West in February 2021. It’s in like new condition and has fewer than 600 shutter actuations. Price is $5,100 net to me. That’s a savings of $1,000 off the price of a new one. I adore my

A visual thinker using text-based tools

Using Zotero as a bookmarking and read-later service
I'm almost certainly using Zotero wrong. Instead of for citations and research, I'm using Zotero as a bookmarking tool and read-later service, and it's working really well. Is no one else doing this? I've used many tools meant for saving links for

Dusting off the Olympus Stylus Epic
I bought my first Olympus Stylus Epic in 2004 and fell in love. I’ve owned one ever since. That original copy was replaced in 2012 for $10, in the box, from a guy on Craigslist. Those days are gone. These little fellas have grown quite a following and fetch
Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen
It’s been a while since I bought a new fountain pen. This is about the Pilot Custom 823. Literally every review I’ve read says the same things: “It’s not a looker, but what a great writer!” I can only resist that kind of consensus for so long,
