I'm in the process of getting back into photography which will mean a new camera, more on that in a later post. But the first step for me was a new computer, one with the horsepower to handle a modern day camera and its RAW files. Along with the computer comes a new 4K monitor. 4K is great for media consumption, right? Your characters on your favorite show or movie really look detailed and realistic. Scenery looks wonderful.

I transferred over my past catalogs of photos over to Lightroom Classic and eagerly began opening up some of my favorite photos. At first I was happy with how the colors looked and how the scene was composed. Then I noticed it was a little soft. Well I had just gotten a new contacts prescription so that must be it.

The Collection It's July 2020 and I thought I'd do a little update on what the watch collection is now, and what the plans are for the rest of the year. I've pretty quiet with watches for 2020 just picking up straps until last week when I pulled the trigger on my mini grail the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date, better known as the Cooper model since it's work by Cooper in the movie Interstellar . So we'll start from bottom left of the above photo.

Beyond happy with today's delivery. I've wanted this model for over 2 years, but every time I had it in the cart I talked myself out of it. So this time it stayed in as a late birthday present to myself.
