It's peaceful on the river.

I prefer the old boats to the new, motorized monstrosities I may see next year.

Boats on the Ganges. Dawn. Lots of haze. How shall I edit this image?

First, I must cull the images. Then, place them in the editing queue! I won't get to these images for a few months.

I will continue editing the cars, but the process is slow.
I will make a video showing how I edit the images, with some emphasis on the black-and-white conversion.
One blog post? I will record audio.
I must make lesson plans, work on the website, and post unedited images in Benares.

I have created a YouTube video discussing the importance of adapting your editing style based on the image and time. How do you find your editing style?

It is essential to challenge yourself. I invite you to watch the video. #photoediting #photoeditingstyle #photography

I misspelled Nainital.

I was in Nainital for a school reunion. School reunions trigger memories, some of them great, some bittersweet.

Can you return to the past and rediscover old connections?

Sometimes, life is bittersweet.

Can you go back and rediscover old connections, or do you travel on different paths?

Yikes, I misspelled Nainital.

I was in Nainital for a school reunion. School reunions trigger memories, some of them great, some bittersweet.

Can you return to the past and rediscover old connections? I wonder.

The poor dumb troll! 🤦‍♂️

Trolls usually lurk in the shadows, using fake identities to spread negativity without reason.
That's the troll way!
Some act smart but can't even handle a book properly! Check out more on dealing with trolls here: https://blog.trollfree.com/how-to-handle-trolls

I lost my data twice—in China and in Delhi. The first time, I did not use a backup drive. In the second, the primary and backup drives collapsed!
I lost all the photos.

Now, I use a primary drive, a backup, and Backblaze! Read on!

Crash & Burn

This post emphasizes the importance of data backup. Data recovery is exorbitant.

I leave you with a short video summary of the week.

Will we fall off the edge, or can we pull ourselves back? Think.
