About

Retired Brit living in Portugal.

I try to take a camera with me whenever I leave the house. I edit my digital snaps in iOS Photos and Snapseed on an iPad.

I use an iPhone SE, a Ricoh GR 2 Digital, a LUMIX GF1 and a white LUMIX G3. All except the iPhone bought secondhand on eBay over ten years ago.

Today’s digital cameras and the associated Lightroom workflow are of course the devil’s work and to be avoided at all costs. SOOC [Straight Out Of Camera] is my preferred workflow which is also in keeping with one of my greatest life learnings, “the simplest system suitable for the particularly circumstances”.

The best of times was when Kodachrome 64 was around and I regret not shooting more with it.

And the title is made up.
