Abandoned Gas Station with the Fuji X100V

A bit of a different subject for me. Since I got my Fuji X100V I’ve had the feeling like I should be using for different types of photos (in addition to the feeling that I should be using it way more than I’m using it). If you look up people [...]

I had the great luck to attend Fan Expo Canada in Vancouver, BC this past weekend. Fan expo is a bit like Comic-Con. A collection of vendors, artists, stars, and fans of everything from fantasy to sci-fi all gathered in one place. The biggest attraction of this for me was the cosplayers…

Peak Design Capture Clip Version 3 Review

I have a confession to make. I’ve been a backer of Peak Design starting with the original Capture Clip back in 2012 when they had their first Kickstarter.

Keeping Lightroom Presets and Templates In Sync Between Multiple Computers
