Definitely don't see the point of having "Stories" in a WordPress website. I'll leave this one up to remind myself not to do it again. 🙂 What is the obsession with stories, anyway? If I'm going to take the time to post something, I don't want it disappearing at some point. I don't think (?)... Continue Reading →
I first drafted this article in October of 2019. Since then, I've formed some new opinions, so I'll leave the original text, and add my thoughts from today, some 21 months later. Let's start with a little history My first point and shoot was an HP PhotoSmart R507. I bought it in October of 2005.... Continue Reading →
Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones My old Plantronic Back Beat Pros bit the dust, so I picked up a new pair of headphones. Those BackBeat Pros were some of the best headphones I've ever owned. I bought them back in 2015, and they got me through a lot of cross-country flights. Really like them so far. They... Continue Reading →
I just realized I hadn't posted anything about the 52 Portraits project for 2021. It's been a slow start, but as of today, I've managed to get 10 portraits. Slow and steady, right? The full gallery is at 52.daniel.photo, but here are the first 10 (11 if you count the self portrait to start the... Continue Reading →
I've always been picky about my text editors. Once I discovered Markdown, I started searching for the perfect Markdown editor. I know there are a plethora to choose from, (and not all of the editors in this list support Markdown,) but these are the five text editors I've liked enough to use more than once...

Towards the end of December, the MacOS App Store notified me of an update for the Day One app. Every attempt I made to install the update failed. On both of my MacBooks. I made sure to quit the Day One app and the Day One menu bar extension, but every attempt to run the... Continue Reading →
Let's face it, 2020 was just a weird year. It was an uncreative one for me--I shot fewer photos than I ever have. So last night I decided I was going to start 2021 off right. I didn't care what the subject matter was, I just new I was going to start the day shooting... Continue Reading →
Well, 52 didn't quite pan out this year. I'd love to blame it all on Covid, but the truth is I slacked off. I mean, Covid had a little to do with it--especially when I was dealing with it directly. It was a good first experiment, though, so I'm not chalking it up to a... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the year again. And somehow this year was weirder than 2019. Fewer photos taken, dancing around Covid, my first 52 Portraits project (more on that later.) It was just another strange year for me and photography. So lets break it down a bit... 20192020Total Images8,7956,957Most Used CameraSony A7R M3Sony A7R M3Most... Continue Reading →
This isn't a usual blog post. It isn't well-written, or as thorough as it could be. It's just a collection of thoughts I jotted down over the last couple of weeks with Covid. I just want it to exist somewhere. Regardless of where you stand on the disease, or the politics that unfortunately surround it,... Continue Reading →
Every year (since 2000,) Pantone comes out with the color of the year. I’m not always a fan, but last year’s Classic Blue was outstanding. This year, they went with a yellow and gray combo. Not sure how I feel about it yet, but it’ll be fun to play with some ideas. I like that... Continue Reading →
Like a lot of other people, I had issues downloading and installing Big Sur at first. Definitely not the kind of glitch you want to have happen when you release a new operating system, but Apple seemed to get it fixed quickly enough. Once I got it downloaded, I created a bootable external USB SSD... Continue Reading →
