Before/After: Pics Processed in Luminar NEO

A couple of weeks ago, I sold three photos to someone in Germany, so I had a little extra money (thanks so much, PM!). I could have saved it, and probably should have, but I’ve been on such an austere … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving’s Over!

This has never been my favorite holiday. First, the sound of football all day when I was a kid. Didn’t seem to matter if we were at home or with relatives, the TV was on and football was being watched. … Continue reading →
