exploring nature’s infinite connections
It's been quite some time since I've printed any photographs at home. My Epson 4800, affectionately referred to as Dusty Boat Anchor right now, served me well for a while, but eventually became quite a burden and expensive thing to use. I certainly was not printing...
Back in March, I posted about how the era of my Mac Pro desktop came to an end with the purchase of a Mac Studio and Studio Display. With a good 3 months of use under my belt, I thought I'd collect some of what I've experienced in an update post. However, I am quite...
My old Mac Pro finally has a replacement. Over the years, people may have noticed my remarks about my system getting up there in years. Apple's recent product announcements happened to fall at a time that felt right for me. As such, I purchased a new Mac Studio (M1max...
