Too many hobbies, not enough focus
Apple announced a number of new products at its annual fall event this week. This event is always about the iPhone but has recently included the Apple Watch and Apple TV as well. If you want the details of the announcements, take a look at this summary from Gizmodo. I'm interested in several of the …

My MacBook Pro has enabled a new photographic workflow that should allow me to select and process my photos faster. Prior to buying my MacBook Pro I had the following issues: My iMac was more powerful than my 13" MBP so it was my main editing machine. That meant that the majority of my photo editing …
Our photo shoot with the boys this weekend was very successful but it wasn't without its challenges. The result is a poignant set of images for your enjoyment.
Despite what he may tell you, Adam has never seen any movies from the Alien series. What he did see however was the poster art for Alien Covenant scroll by on the Apple TV for maybe 20 seconds or so. Once he saw it he wanted to know exactly what that thing was. I told him it …
We attended a fun cookout a few weeks ago and my typical turnaround time for photography reared its ugly head. Our friends Kristine and Dennis live out in the farm-land and have a nice lot with some farm animals of their own. There was plenty to photograph including chickens, roosters, turkeys, goats, beautiful farm land …
I switched to Nikon over a year ago. As I completely changed camera systems I had to purchase an entirely new set of lenses. My first two lenses were Nikon's 24-120mm and 70-200mm f/4 pair that cover the standard wide angle to telephoto range. I've been really impressed with both, especially the 24-120mm. I really …
As an example of how long it can take me to process photos, here are a few that I took in April to test out my then-new Sigma 150 - 600mm lens. It was the beginning of spring so the beach was still pretty cold, but the gulls were out and provided ample subject matter …
I've been taking digital photos since 2006 and had amassed a library of nearly 40,000 photos by the end of last year. This is only counting my "professional" photos – those taken with an SLR. Photos taken on our various point and shoots (remember those?) and cell phones are separate. Compared with an actual professional …
Added updated photos to my Mac Museum page so you can see what it looks like now. The photos that were on there were very old. Since that time I've added a book shelf, more cabinets, and had to expand to the other side of my basement!
We let the boys watch Jurassic World a few weekends ago. I randomly got into a Jurassic Park phase and purchased all 4 of the movies as a Blu-ray collection. After some discussion we decided that we'd give it a try even though it was PG-13. They've seen a few PG-13 movies before, most of …
