Louis IX was clueless about granite rocks of Eastern Sierra Nevada. Though, he left his many footprints on these sets of stones. Thinking about historic events of some 7+ centuries that followed Louis’ first steps between undoubtedly breath-taking Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame, i wonder whether more Sierras could prove beneficial for the next 760 [...]
Three weeks, no see. Do not touch buttons; especially when they come as software updates. Yep, three weeks p….. to the latest and greatest. At last, after book pros, ipads, ishmats, isubs, finally, back to my libraries. Unflagged the “faces” option, except for that one, above. Pretty self-expalanatory, — APPLE.

In the process I thought about tools in general. I thought that there’s a myriad of tools, they are mastered for years, [...]
Many of my fellow photographers carefully monitor all upgrades and newly coming versions of image cataloging and editing software, and some just let them go for a time being or leave it up to their assistants to follow all upcoming trends.
