Way back in the day, when I used to shoot at clubs and raves, I'd always want a way to share the images with the people I'd meet, but exchanging email could be a bit cumbersome or just be a deterrent.

While I'm not out clubbing these days, I'm still often out at various events, so I still need a quick and easy way to point people to the images, so I just added the Event Code box to the photo site.

I was confused months and months ago when I tried to load Nokia Messaging, and it looked just like the old S60 email client. It turned out it wasn't installing back then.

Just yesterday, I installed Nokia Messaging again from the Ovi Store, and it definitely took this time.

2009 was the year people started paying me for photography, but more importantly, each job was a new experience for me.

I recently started wondering, "Why am I working my way closer and closer to professional photography?" I love my day job, and I don't need or want 2 jobs, so why am I so driven to pursue this?

I've started posting this list around, so I may as well put it here too. I'm looking to sell a few things I'm not using. Offers and trades are welcome.

OS X on my MacBook Pro was getting sort of screwy, and I was preparing to reinstall, so I thought I'd see how far I could get with Ubuntu 9.04 on the MacBook Pro.

I built out the initial iteration of my photography website a couple months ago, and I've been coming back to it recently to put some enhancements into place. I really must get the photography blog up and running, but until then, I poke around at doing the simpler things -- like a convenient copyright taglib.

A couple weekends ago, I setup a sort of photo booth for a kid's birthday party a couple weekends ago. With Claire's help, I shot nearly 30 quick portraits, processed them, and printed the 4x6 copies on-site to be used in a crafty framing activity.

A paying job is always a good time to shop for new gear, right, so I picked up a Canon Selphy CP770 dye sub photo printer for a birthday party photo booth project.

Someone on the non-metering lens Flickr group asked for notes on switching from a D40 to a D90, and given the non-metering context, I felt particularly qualified to answer. Here's a copy of my response:

I switched to the D90 a week ago after my beloved D40 went into a creek. I've found with all my ME/MF experience of my old prime lenses, I could pick up the new body pretty quickly. The extra buttons are nice to have, but many of those added buttons are useless too -- metering modes, focus modes, etc.
