Yep, I've made another video essay.  Regular readers (hopefully) know about the ongoing "A Good Crop" series, reflecting back on my 12 favorite photos from each year.  If not, check it out here.

Anyway, I made a Youtube video for the 2023 edition, will probably make similar videos for the other years.  Check it out, comments welcome:

2023 - A Good Crop

t is my intention to keep doing these.  In fact, the 2022 version is ready to post to YouTube, and the 2025 "A Good Crop" is in progress (and will hopefully be ready in early January).  If people stay interested, I have "A Good Crop" sets going back to 2012.

So, enjoy, share, comment...  all that good stuff!

Chuzhao Camera

 My wife got me a new toy this week, a CHUZHAO Digital Camera,  A fun little point and shoot, marketed as a Portable Vintage Camera.  Did I mention it is small?  Because it is tiny.  Very basic, point 'n' shoot, no frills or fancy.  I've been having fun playing with it, though the weather has been COLD the past few days.  Here's a couple of the first photos, with minimal tweaking in LrC (Lightroom Classic).

This won't be replacing my Fujifilm Compact Digitals (X-T3 and X-T4), nor my iPhone, but is another toy for my arsenal!
