Good morning, it's 5:45 am. Our walk today was through a fresh 8-10 inches of snow. It was lovely.

Yesterday, at about this time, I said that I wanted to move my photo editing back to Capture One Pro. I later spent a few hours doing just that. Yes, yes, I know, I do this all the time and always end up back in Lightroom Classic. That may happen again this time, but what I'm always reminded of is that I get photos I like better out of C1 faster and more easily than I do with LrC. And when I want to get fancy, C1 does a better job also (layers!). I almost never drop into Photoshop, but I suppose if I do more "real" portraits, I'll need it for retouching. C1 is just nicer. It's also better when switching between the big and little screens because the layouts are so customizable. I have a custom layout for both screens. Tethering from the Leicas works like butter in C1, too. So, Lightroom has "easier" going for it, but C1 wins at just about everything else.

I get bored...

Damn you 750 Words for importing my old content into the new site. Now I feel like trying to earn more badges. My best one so far is the Albatross, which signifies a 30-day unbroken writing streak. How did I ever manage to do that? I hate the gamification of things like writing. I hate worrying about "streaks". And yet, it's only three notebook pages, right? And I have all day to do it. Beats wasting my time failing at Wordle.
