A week ago, I posted about another portraiture practice session with Stéphane Barbery, but then I lost my computer to the repair shop for two days. I've gotten it back, but have yet to look at the photos of me that he took, beyond the first two photos.

I've not looked beyond the first two photos because I've been busy.... such as with the new Lightroom plugin that I released yesterday, and with another portraiture/lighting practice session on Monday with Stéphane... but the main impediment to me looking at the photos has been my Lightroom curiosity with the second shot [...]

I've just released a new Lightroom Plugin, "Creative Commons", which allows you to inject license information into exported copies of images that you want to release via a Creative Commons license.

クリエイティブ・コモンズ・ライセンス対応のアドビLightroomのプラグインを開発しました。

The plugin is avaialble here:      Jeffrey’s "Creative Commons" Lightroom Plugin

That adds to the thirty-something other plugins available on my Lightroom Goodies page.

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 [...]
