Back in Lightroom 2 days I had a plugin to extract JPGs from a Lightroom catalog's preview cache, something really useful when trying to recover something if you had somehow lost the master images. It wasn't my most popular plugin, obviously, because folks would use it only when trying to recover from the double disaster of losing their images and having no backups.

It was a lot of work and helped perhaps at best a few dozen people, but well worth the effort to help folks trying to recover years worth of memories. It was my only plugin to have [...]

Today's post is a followup to "Last Chance For the All-You-Can-Feast Beer/BBQ at the Hotel Avanshell Kyoto" from the other day. Anthony and I went again last night, and in the interest of science and to record history for posterity, I documented everything that I ate or drank with grainy iPhone snaps.

昨夜、ホテルアバンシェル京都の焼き肉食べ放題に行きました。 めっちゃ食べて、めっちゃ飲んで、めっちゃ楽しかった。すべての飲食物は撮影して(iPhoneで、御免)、この記事で見せます。80キロ192センチの私は５キロアップしました！

As I mentioned in "Going Max Cliché While Learning About Off-Camera Flash" a month and a half ago, I've been getting into pretty good shape (and even compared to that post, I am in much better shape today) and one of the methods that seems to [...]

I've just released the new Lightroom Plugin that I've been working on for the last few weeks:

Jeffrey’s "Folder Status" Lightroom Plugin

It lets you create per-folder metadata flags that track personal workflow milestones as you work with images in a folder (for example, "Keywording Done", "Off-Site Backup Saved", "Geoencoded", etc... whatever you want), and through export-prerequisite rules based on these flags, to help ensure that you don't accidentally export photos from folders that haven't yet received at least whatever minimal processing you think is important.

How you work with it depends greatly on how you set [...]

There's one week left before the summer roof-top all-you-can-feast BBQ-and-beer garden at the Hotel Avanshell Kyoto closes forever. I've been meaning to post about it for ages, but time has conspired against me, and now it's almost over. This is the final week for this season, and since the hotel itself will close down at the end of the year, final is final. If you're in Kyoto next week, don't miss it! The last day is Sunday the 9th. I already have my reservation.

今週は最後だ！ホテル アバンシェル京都のすばらしい焼き肉食べ放題ビール飲み放題は今月９日（日）で終わり。残念ながら今年は最後で、今週は最後のチャンス。おすすめです！

For adults, ¥3,500 gets you two hours of all-you-can eat/drink gluttony, with a variety [...]

最近めっちゃ忙しい、新しいアドベライトロームのプラグインの開発で。それ一寸割り込んで、一枚アプをさせていただきます。

I've had my head buried in yet another new plugin for Adobe Lightroom (soon to join my 30ish other Lightroom plugins), but thought I should come up for air to post at least something. Took this quick shot the other day of a cloud pregnant with rain, with a nice silver lining from the late-afternoon sun behind it.

I'm not all that happy with the picture, and it's really better as part of a sequence telling a little story, but I don't have enough energy for that now, so I'll save that for another day.
