Thank you for watching! ❤️🦊

Lots of feedback this week about when sharpness matters in choosing a lens, and when it doesn't. It's very easy to focus too much on sharp pixels, when there might actually be more important factors that influence your photography. Welcome to Vlog No. 094.

Morning previews of the day ahead, and evening summaries of what I learned during the day. During Jon Worth's #CrossBorderRail Conclusions Tour 2025.

Some fun with no-input mixing.

Thanks for listening/watching! Plugins, synth presets, free (and free to use) samples, and more available from the FSA website:

Audio/video software most used in these videos (* denotes free software):

Reaper: https://www.reaper.fm/

Video that solely exists to spread the footage of Papi Orion from Focus Congo giving updates on the catastrophic situation in Goma.

The account I was trying to uplift here still technically exists, but apparently had all its info scrubbed.

This is worrisome on too many levels.

Another video where I shared the audio of someone asking for help, this time for the Awni family.

Here's their GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/4dgm27-help-the-child-yaser-to-give-him-life-again

Another attempt to draw more attention from the algorithm to an account that has since been deleted.

Video I made to help draw attention to the Abuthaher family's fundraising efforts.

GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/year-2-of-war-help-a-family-of-6-from-gaza-find-hope

I think they reached their initially goal, but they are still stuck under violent occupation, with constant threat of bombardment and volatile inflation due to lack of aid getting into the Strip.
