I’ve made a collection of free online courses to help people start sketchnoting. I’d love it if you considered signing up or sharing them with someone who might be interested.

I’m fairly sure I use about five PDF apps and I use each one differently as each one is different. It’s also usually not mentally taxing to work out which to use.

Em dashes on the web: Chicago confusion

I just saw an example of Chicago style em dash format on the web (no spaces between words). Initially, I thought it was a hyphenated word and read it as such. Perhaps this was just the layout on the website as I never have issues with the Chicago approach in books. Regardless, I’m noting this as a point in favour of other style guides.

A Quick Thought on Focal Lengths in Street Photography

Generally, the more populous the area you are shooting in, the wider focal length you want.

  • Centre of London: 28mm.
  • Krakow/outer London: 35mm
  • rural/ deserted streets: 50mm There are plenty of exceptions (some only use tele lenses. Some only wide. Also are street portraits street?) but I think this is a pretty good starting point.

πŸ”— Incorrect Use of “As Such” I had an editor tell me off for this mistake all the time (and I just saw an example at work).

I always intend to take a selfie pre and post haircut…and ALWAYS forget to do so prior.

My iPad has gone bad. It’s killing safari tabs and background apps all the time. It almost seems to freeze when I opened ferrite today. I don’t know if I just hadn’t noticed this or it’s come from a recent update but it’s infuriating.

πŸ“Έ Feb photo blogging day 9: Lull Every Sunday I listen to the radio program β€œSiesta” on Polish radio channel three. The DJ selects a wonderful mix of Jazz, Bosa Nova, Fado and other music that he likes. We listen on my in-laws old radio system. No smarts here. Perfect for a lull in the day.

It took a while but I finally fixed my om-d em-1. The shutter issue seemed to be connected to the SD card. The trick was to place a different card in and take the battery out, that seemed to free it up some how. Anyway, now I’m looking forward to playing a bit with this again.

I had an ambition idea for today’s photo challenge. it didnt happen, but it was still fun to come up with and plan (and then come up with a backup).
