Re: 13 vs 13 Pro - 2 days ago

I got the 12 Pro a while back. The upgraded camera and RAW was the decider for me. I’m not thrilled with the zoom lens though. Photos always seem to lack detail. I was thinking I might trade mine in for the 13 Pro if the zoom lens provides better results.

Re: Any rock groups/performers you've become less impressed with over time? - 2 days ago

I would have to also say Led Zeppelin. I was a huge Yardbirds/Page fan and Zeppelin totally shaped my own guitar playing and music when their first album came out. I remember I first heard them when Scott Muni played Communication Breakdown on WNEW. My jaw dropped. I found out this was Page, the guy who had just played my high school the year before. I saw them three times on their first tour. Se

Re: 9/11 memories - 7 days ago

9-11-2001: I was asked to work a 12 hour shift and go down and work at the site. I declined because I had been to the top of towers with my brother when he worked up there for Verizon. He had told me you don’t want to be near this building if it ever catches fire. It’s full of asbestos. That was the last day I worked in television news and the last day I worked in NYC.

Re: Photoshop Elements, WTF? (rant) - 9 days ago

I have CS 6 installed on my old Mac Pro and had used it after retiring from my job and giving up my CC license for almost 2 years. Yes, I could do my work, mainly because I learned Photoshop along with a number of other Adobe and Macromedia software back in 98 at Apple’s corporate learning center so much of what I do would be considered old school PS techniques. But there are some really cool n

Re: Hey, NYC and NJ members, you guys OK? - 15 days ago

I'm in Cranford, NJ and while we did ok, many of my neighbors and parts of the town are currently under water. We got 11 inches of rain and the Rahway river overflowed in some areas that are still flooded. Waters are receding a bit now but it's still a bad situation for some here.

Re: Unique places you have toured? - 24 days ago

Back in the 70s my brother worked for Verizon in NYC. I used to meet him for lunch sometimes and he would put his tool bag on me and take me in to places he worked. One time he took me in with him to the Museum of Natural History and brought me upstairs to an area prohibited to the public, where they worked on many specimens the public never gets to see. I got to see a fully preserved Mastodon be
