So, I’m not sure how this one slipped by, to be honest, because I’m usually pretty good about making sure all supporting links are in place. But two years ago I did a new page in the Tips & Tricks gallery of the main site, about cropping, complete with video – no small project,

Podcast: Squeezing one out
Yes, it’s the last podcast of the year, which means it’s got to be extra-special, right? Yeah, um… don’t get your hopes up.
Walkabout podcast – The End of 2019
But changes are afoot, as Holmes says (I think,) so expect something different coming along soon. We’re not going to use ugly qualifying and judgmental words like “better” or “exciting”
Even more rampant
It is very early christmas morning as I type this. All the presents are wrapped, the cheesecake is cooling on the stove top, and the kitchen is clean with the dishwasher going. And I have left a couple of gifts for The Girlfriend to discover when she gets up, one of which I’m going to show here because I’m almost positive she’s going to hit the kitchen before she checks
Not the holiday you plan for
That just ruins it.
Today is, apparently, Get Awakened Twice Before The Alarm Goes Off Day, that rather unwelcome holiday that planning for, or even alerting anyone to ahead of time, defeats the purpose, which is why I couldn’t tell you about it sooner, and in fact didn’t remember myself. Anyway, here it is, and I figured I’d use some of my extra time with posting about it.
The first
My seasonal charity work
I know this is going to come off sounding like bragging, and it’s not intended that way at all but, well, so be it. I am presently working on a plugin that will eradicate every last vestige of ‘Baby Yoda’ from your internet browser – all memes, all photos, all mentions, all cookie cutters, all bumper stickers, everything. It’s quite a comprehensive program, but sorely
Odd memories, part 23
I sit here this afternoon with a small (in size) project alongside me, waiting for the epoxy to dry. It isn’t exactly a christmas present, but it is a necessary part of one, and I just spent no small amount of time making it. This was nowhere near the amount of time I spent trying to find one already made, which should have been a lot easier than it was, and a lot more fruitful
Recommendations you can trust
Because if you can’t turn to a wildlife photographer that specializes in bugs and frogs to tell you what you should seek in entertainment, who can you turn to?
So topically, I’m perhaps cheating a little. I’ve been planning to feature some music here for a while, and just realized that I could springboard.
In case you have no internet at all, or perhaps you manage to avoid all of
Oh, stop it
This is just a trivial curiosity, found while sorting and set aside for a post when the season has slowed down. We’re not going into deep philosophical territory here.
Waaayyy back in July, during a failed attempt to get some lightning images, I tried a small experiment,
Storytime 49
From a whopping 13 years ago, back when the continents were all different (well, they were,) comes to you this image from my very own darkroom, the last one that I had active. Over the years, I’ve had four darkrooms, actually, starting with my first (well, duh) in a spare closet back in NY, the only one without running water, but then the next three were
Okay, that was too much fun
The previous post was a couple days in the making, mostly because once I had the concept, I had to find the time to stage and shoot all the pics, but they were all done earlier today. And the tag about not being Photoshopped is absolute truth – I used GIMP instead. In fact, only one of them didn’t involve compositing I’ll let you determine which one it was. In
