In the Headlights: Triptych
I re-edited this 2018 image with Analog FX Pro after playing with the grain. I quite discovered this tool by accident!
Clinique’s website tech isn’t great!
They obviously spend a lot of money on their website… but the local variant is weird. Random scrolling, frequent redrawing, sluggish… What is going on? Now this! Notice the error in the URL: it’s not “https://”!!! I don’t think I’ve met such a weird site … oh, wait! It must be the same engineering team…
Another Win with Zero Blunders! Wow!

I opened Instagram…
… and was greeted by loud obnoxious videos playing noisy music. Why? I didn’t expect it so it woke my wife up! She’d been napping. I’m pissed. I guess it’s REELS. They are REELLY annoying. In Web view, I don’t see any REELS, but when I open the app… they’re right there. Well, let me…
Patrice wearing the rain well!
Taken on Nikon 1 J5. Edited in Google Photos. 1/5s 400 ISO F 5 at 14.3mm. Unfortunately, due to the longer exposure, there is s light camera shake caused by the ineptitude of the photographer, not the model! LOL! It’s harder to see clearly in the Google Edit, though you might notice a slightly less…
