It's been a while since I've managed to write anything #photography related on my site. I just kept getting writer's block and so didn't force myself. But now I've finally managed to pen a new piece!
So here's my practical real world shooting experience as to why "downgrading" from #FullFrame to #MicroFourThirds wasn't really downgrade.

#GIMP 3 is a really impressive piece of FOSS software. Given the lack of stable financial funding they really achieved something there, even if it took long.
What I hope though is that they, if that stuff comes up, won't prevent implementations of Machine-Learning stuff (mind that I specifically do *not* mean "generative"). There's huge potential for things like the magic wand tool, and modern GPUs and NPUs absolutely have the capacities to run such things.

Trump’s pitch on tariffs and undermining alliances is nationalistic, a vision of booming domestic manufacturing and repatriated jobs prompting a reflowering of masculinity.
But it’s not deglobalization, it’s de-Americanization. The world economy will move on, to China’s benefit.
