Spelunking Lightroom
When is an article not an article? When it’s a nerdicle, of course. And this nerdicle is particularly nerdy — being all about Lightroom cataloguing techniques, keywording and photo ranking. Yeah, I know… you’re bored already. What can I say? Knowledge is pain.

On Myth and Minitars
Recently, the mad scientists at Lomography surgically removed the Minitar lens from their cult-classic LC-A camera, tarted it up by grafting on a Leica M-mount bayonet, and sent it into the night to tempt us weak and sinful lens addicts. I’m only human. I succumbed. And here, for the benefit…
