My site has been running in some form since 2002.  However, I have lost data multiple times and I have always meant to go back…get my old posts back on the web, but I never do.

It doesn’t help that I keep changing blogging platforms. Movable Type, Textpattern, ModX, Tumblr, Octopress…

I’ve committed to getting it back up in 2014.  I’m sure that it will be more likely than declaring that this year is the “Year of the Linux Desktop”.

I bought a new camera: Fuji X-T1

I have been a big fan of my Fuji X-Pro 1.  I bought it used back in Summer of 2013–it’s made photography fun again for me.

When Fuji announced the SLR format X-T1, I was a bit torn.  I really liked the “range-finder” style of the X-Pro 1.  It slowed me down. Made me think about what I wanted to capture, how I wanted to capture.  I would say that I’d took 1/10th less pictures, but my “hit” rate was substantially higher.  

The X-T1 gave me great pause.

Would I go back to shooting in burst mode?

I bit the bullet today (about 2-days just shy of being able to take advantage of Henry.com’s free vertical grip offer…) and pre-ordered it with an XF 23mm 1.4 lens.
