One sign of how little cash is used nowadays is that I don’t really recognize Swedish bills and coins 🤷🏻♂️

🤦🏻♂️ = min åsikt om de som går ut i en öppen kort läderjacka, korta tajta byxor som slutar 1 dm från skorna, ingen mössa, inga handskar när det är -25 ute … och klagar på att det är så kallt
I really liked the concept of definition and implementation files, and really disliked how Java used interfaces.

Wow !!

Every time I decide to stop searching for a Lightroom replacement and really learn how to take advantage of the program, I find something that gets me to think “I can’t get rid of Lightroom fast enough”
Hmmm
Anyone who has ever been to New York City remembers their first impression, amazement, and awe
I’ve been there once, due to a late flight, and while I do remember the short visit, I can’t say that I felt “amazement and awe”. Pretty much like any other town.
Time to get rid of the Christmas stuff
One thing is for sure, if you want to view beautiful photos. Flickr is the place to visit.
Out for a morning walk on the lake
I’ve been buying a new iPhone every second year until 2015 when I bought my iPhone 6s Plus. My plan was to keep that one for three years before buying a new one. So I was really looking forward to buy a new iPhone this autumn. I watched the keynote and was really pleased with the improvements to the camera compared to the one I have. So I went to Apple sajt, selected a XS Max and was hovering over the buy button when I looked at the price … and moved away from the buy button. I couldn’t justify spending that amount of money on a phone, so I thought “OK, let’s make it four years”.
Fast forward for a couple of months and I discovered that there was some sensor smudge/dust in my iPhone. This has been driving me crazy and taken away all joy using the camera. Which have been irritating since I like to have a camera with me at all times. I checked how much it would cost to fix it and even that would be more than my phone is worth.
So I tried using my GX80 instead but it’s too heavy and bulky to carry in a pocket. My next attempt was an older GM5, which is a really small camera … even for mirrorless cameras. It’s pocketable but barely so. So while it works it hasn’t been as “nimble” my phone.
However, two days ago I suddenly remembered that my wife had a camera laying on a bookshelf under 3 mm of dust. I asked her if I could use it and since she only use her iPhone nowadays she said “take it”. It’s one of my old cameras, a 10-year old Powershot S90 which have an OK lens and is pretty good compact camera. I charged the batteries and tried it out, and it works just fine. The pictures are decent and once I remember what it’s limitations are and how to work around them I expect it to be my “daily carry” for a while. So far the main “problem” is the lack of a touchscreen.
I also compared the S90 and the GM5, they are pretty much the same size. The GM5 is a bit heavier but otherwise they are more or less the equal size … except that the GM5 requires a lens which makes it significantly heavier and larger than the S90.
So, instead of spending a lot of money on a new iPhone (and yes, I want the big screen and the camera on the XS) I’m going to use my 6s Plus and the S90 for the near future. Sooner or later I’m getting a new phone but until that time …
On my way to work. I had to leave my car for service at 7:00 so it was a quick 4km walk to work. Grateful that the storm yesterday had calmed down

Dusting off my Lumix GM-5 as a replacement for my iPhone camera …
Some 28 years ago I made a quick visit to the monastery of Melk and saw a walnut tree for the first time in my life. Yesterday I looked at the monastery in the map app and I see a large tree where I think we parked the car. I like to think that it’s the walnut tree I see.
