It’s the Small Things. Notwithstanding what’s going on in the wider world, my little slice of the planet got a bit better over the last few days. All it took was a pound of macaroni, a jug of cranberry juice and a couple jars of Skippy peanut butter to brighten my day and lighten my …

I updated my photo portfolio website! Finally So, I spent some time over the last few days sifting through over 20 years of images picking the ones I like the best to post on my website, charlesbrown.photography. This is strictly amateur level stuff but it makes me happy, so I do it if only to …
Today was a good day in tech for me First, Drafts, one of my favorite ever text/writing apps, was updated to support actions on the Mac! In fact this post is the result of one of these actions. Hooray! Second, Lightroom on my iPad was updated to allow importing of images directly from an attached SD …

I’ve been enjoying all the coverage of the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. While it wasn’t a perfectly conceived or executed project and was certainly of it’s time but I still find it inspirational today. I was 16 at the time of the landing and still remember my naive …

Today’s XKCD was titled First News Memory which got me thinking about my first. The first real news I can definitely remember was the 1960 Presidential Election when I had just turned eight years old. I think I remember Sputnik and how freaked out everyone was but I’m not sure if that …
So here it is, the moment the world has been waiting for: My First Real Post on Micro.blog! (OK, so I’m trying out Micro.blog to see if it’s a thing I’ll have a continuing interest in. Just so I could see how things work here I brought over a few random posts from my existing …
One of the major raps against the new iPad Pro, and one that I’ve made myself on this site, is that iOS development is lagging behind hardware development for the iPad. One of the specific complaints is that the Files App does not let an iPad user access external storage devices connected to it. …
Serious question: Will the version of iOS that runs on my iPad ever catch up to the MacOS that runs on my Mac Pro? The new iPads look really great but I don’t see how the power of the new hardware translates into a more capable device that will replace my Mac. The new iPads may be many time faster …
Our trip to Alaska was fantastic. The weather ranged from blue skies to foggy rain but mostly was a not problem. Mosquitoes were mercifully nonexistent! We experienced great views of Denali, flew on float planes to see bears on Crescent Lake and helicoptered to top of the Knik Glacier. The only bust …
Someone at Apple has strong opinions about how a photo workflow should go. They are wrong. For many years now I’ve been on a quest to use my iPad as my main travel computer and while for most uses the iPad is very capable, and perhaps superior to a laptop, it falls short for my photography …
This year’s WWDC was the most exciting in recent memory for me. After a couple of years of apparent stagnation Apple showed us new Macs and new iPads pro together with significant OS improvements for the iPad in iOS 11 that will make the it a much more reasonable candidate to use as a solo computing …
Well it’s done. I hooked the Adobe CC portfolio site to aeolist.net and pointed the Squarespace account to charlesbrown.photography. I still have until the Fourth of July to test this out, so we’ll see how it goes.
Once again I’m in the process of rebuilding websites, or at least trying out an alternative to my current Squarespace website. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my Squarespace site except that it costs me more to maintain it than the value I receive from it and there are now alternatives that …
