Over many years of watching YouTube videos something has become clear to me; quite often, the fewer views a video has the more information I seem to glean from it. A 3-hour presentation on fine art photography from many years ago? 55 views? <3…
By opening Slack, Teams, and Discord on your computer at the same time you’re running all of the JavaScript ever written since the time of the Egyptian pyramids.
This weekend Eliza and I tried some experiments in the darkroom with paper negatives that failed completely. It is good to be humbled from time-to-time.
Making backups of my site's content is easier than ever. Just like my photo library I now have 4 complete back ups that will seldom be very far out of date.
Developed two rolls of Tri-X last night. One I have no idea where it came from – and it looks like the camera had a light leak (selective memory?). But the other looks terrific. I can't wait to spend some time in the darkroom.
Spent some time this morning making adjustments to dates in RSS feeds. I think they should be accurate now. Sorry to all subscribers for the odd RSS behaviour the last few days.
I'm going into year 3 of learning film photography and darkroom printing. One thing is abundantly clear, both of these disciplines are wholly separate. If you find yourself good at one and struggle with the other, do not feel bad. Both require skill. Both…
What is Apple's policy for updating things like rsync on macOS? The preinstalled version is very old.
iCloud+ email sometimes misclassifies replies as junk mail. I would think that my having emailed the person first would be enough for Apple to know the email isn't Junk?
I'm getting dangerously close to switching away from WordPress and onto Tuff – my personal static site generator. Like any well tended garden, I'll need to pick weeds and cast seed, but the important bits are done.
Spent about 90-minutes in the darkroom making this print. It is an 11×14 print from a 6×6 neg taken in 2020 at Keuka lake in New York State.
I must be out of my mind. I started building a static site generator.
Yesterday I took a stranger’s portrait. It was quick, likely poor lighting, and may not turn out at all. But I’m super happy that I worked up the courage to ask.
Cleaned and organized the darkroom for winter sessions.
My favorite ways to view photographs, in order: books, iPad (someone’s website, or in Flickr app), YouTube on TV.
I have the whole day off and I have so much internet to do.
Why use 1 hashtag when 25 will do? 😊
I took a nap. Can’t recommend it enough.
We’re going down down in an earlier round, and sugar we’re going down swinging. 🎶
TIL Vivaldi, in addition to building a browser chocked full of features like email, to do lists, contact management, and note taking, also has a blogging service and now a hosted Mastodon instance. Productive team!
Poll, of sorts: How do you balance creation vs consumption? I often wrestle with myself on how much I read or watch compared to how much I write or make or create. My desired ratio is 90/10. Unfortunately it is more like 10/90.
I'm at the age where I totally understand why Mister Rogers changed his sweater and shoes when entering his home.
I wish Apple would transition away from using photos from Yelp in Maps. First, license the photos in such a way that we no longer need to navigate out of the Maps app. Allow people to submit their own photos to locations. Slowly remove…
Wordle is showing a full cover nag screen and The NY Times is advertising the official board game in pre-roll ads on Twitter. They must be having trouble making that milly back.
Any tips to achieve better focus when using a lens adapter? I picked up an adapter to use FD mounts on my 90D. The results are dreamy! But, I wouldn’t mind the ability to dial in focus.
People seem to retweet things they disagree with, or they think is downright false, thus amplifying that which they think is wrong. 🤔
Instagram is slowly turning into a worse version of YouTube and TikTok.
If I were to direct a documentary about YouTube I would title it “Added to Watch Later”.
I wonder if people that are banned on a social network know that they don't have to spend millions or billions on acquiring a competitive social network — they can just start a blog for free. *shrugs*
