Roll-173 (Hasselblad 500C/M. Tri-X.)

I spent the afternoon with my parents to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary. This roll of Tri-X was taken with the Hasselblad 500C/M and the 80mm Planar.

Roll-172 (Nikon F100. Kodak 200)

A roll of Kodak Gold 200 was languishing in the Nikon F100, so I used it up taking photos of Alice on our deck. Turns out that's what I did with the first half of the roll, too :) Processed C-41 in the JOBO and scanned on the V850

Roll-169 (Hasselblad 500C/M. HP5)

The GR1 has other problems

I have been thrilled to be able to use my little GR1 again, after pulling it off the shelf and finding that it does actually work. Except this morning I was reminded why I'd retired it before. The viewfinder becomes blocked by something loose in there or perhaps

Roll-166 (Hasselblad 500C/M. HP5)

I brought the Hasselblad to my parents house while my daughter and grandson were visiting. I underexposed the roll a bit, but the hit rate was better than expected. I love this one of my sister and Lincoln.

My 20-year anniversary with Flickr

I posted the above photo to Flickr 20 years ago today. It was my first. Flickr remains the best place to upload photos. I just wish it was still the best option for sharing them.

Photo Mechanic in 2024

Photo Mechanic is the fastest, most powerful tool for ingesting/browsing/exporting photos. It's always been a little expensive, but I've had a license for many years. Before 2024, I could buy a license and use it until the next version came out. I paid $90

A separate wiki for cameras

Most of the information I've written down about my cameras is either on my wiki or in random blog posts. I've decided to try and consolidate things in a new, separate wiki (using TiddlyWiki). It was trivial to drag and drop my original camera notes from

How I'm using Lightroom

Lightroom it is. After a long period using Capture One, then a shorter period using Lightroom Classic (LrC), I'm once again trying the new Lightroom. I left Capture One for LrC partly because Capture One's catalog features feel weak compared to LrC. LrC has everything and

The gravitational pull of Emacs

I want things to be simple and without distraction. I want to avoid futzing all the time. To this end, I often try to move away from using Emacs for everything. Emacs is not simple, no matter how hard I try to force it to be simple. So I pull

Reduce & Simplify - Bear app

Bear is one of those apps that either clicks with you or it doesn't. Unless you're me, for whom sometimes it clicks and sometimes doesn't. I'm trying to follow through on my promise to Reduce & Simplify this year, so for the

Today's software installations

So far today, (as of 9:57 am) I have installed three apps that I had deliberately avoided installing on the new Mac Mini. MailMate because I just quit Hey but still wanted something different to play with. I've used MailMate on and off since sometime in 2013
