The purpose of this blog is primarily for my own reference, so I don’t have to solve the same problems over and over after I forget how I did it the first time. By making it public, I have to write things up fully and sensibly rather than just jotting down notes I won’t be able to decipher after a couple weeks.
So it’s also a place to practice writing, particularly technical tutorials, which I have never been as good at as I thought I was but which I do for work occasionally.
I do hope that it may be useful for anyone searching for solutions to anything I write about here. For the most part, I’ll likely only bother to write about something if it wasn’t something already easy to find an answer to elsewhere on the internet. Esoteric and specific sorts of things that took me time to figure out and that didn’t have easy answers to find already out there.
Particularly with large format photography, it’s a mature technology and the answers are out there, but they are often buried deep in discussion forum threads and are typically 10-15+ years old, discussing solutions that sometimes no longer exist.
I do not claim expertise or authority in any area I may write about, I am simply recording my experience.
