Night Water - Lillies at Longwood Gardens

Longwood Gardens at Night Yesterday was my birthday, and my wife and I spent the night in Philadelphia so that we could attend the Longwood Gardens Nightscape event – a sound and light show using the natural surroundings as a backdrop and canvas put together by Klip Collective.

Lightroom to Instagram Plugin

Push photos from Lightroom to Instagram So for years I’ve had a dormant Instagram account that I rarely used as it was too much work to move photos from Lightroom over to my desktop to sync to my phone to post… it was a royal pain in the ass. A couple of days ago, I stumbled […]

Travel Bags and Baggage

Baggage - Briggs and Riley

Carrying yet more baggage … So – for the record – I hate traveling as much as I have to with my new role, and I’ve got a ton of travel coming up this year yet. My older checked baggage is getting long in the tooth and a bit ratty – needs replacement before the wheels fall […]
