A Review of Lightroom CC

by Jon Anscher

As many of you likely know, a couple months ago, I migrated my entire Lightroom Classic library to Lightroom CC for Desktop. For a little over two months, I maintained two separate workflows for my photography, one in the Lightroom CC ecosystem and one in Lightroom Classic, completely cut off from syncing with Lightroom CC.

by Jon Anscher

Recently I posted about my quest for a new travel bag that would also work as a daily carry. Well, after much deliberation, I settled on the Boundary Supply Prima System. I just got that bag and have just started using it. I’ll review the bag eventually, but today is to show you how I’m […]

My Photography Workflow—Pre and Post Lightroom CC

by Jon Anscher

As a public service today, I thought I’d share my photography workflow, such as it is. Now, over the past year or two, I’ve had a consistent workflow that I’m not super happy with. There are two parts of my workflow that didn’t thrill me: (1) my photo editing software of choice does not handle […]

Building Fences

by Jon Anscher

This week I’ve decided to write about a different kind of outdoor activity: building fences. When Amy and I bought our house, we knew beforehand that all three fences and our deck would soon need replacing. Well, three and a half years later, and we are finally fixing fences that are literally falling down, and […]

Mantis Mods: weBoost Cell Enhancer

by Jon Anscher

One of the early enhancements we made to our Cricket was a cell signal booster. We went on 26 trips in the first year of our Cricket. That’s every other weekend plus a few longer trips (4–16 days), and we continued going out throughout the cold winter months, so having a good cell signal allowed […]

Decision-Making in the Backcountry

by Jon Anscher

Underlying that balance are the values we hold. So […]

Mantis Mods: 480 Watts of Solar Power

by Jon Anscher

It’s been a few weeks now since we installed solar on our Mantis, and so far we are loving it. Instead of plugging our Mantis in when we get home, we just turn off all the power draws (including the fridge), and let the solar panels bring the power back up and keep the batteries […]

Climbing Mount Rainier

by Jon Anscher

I made my first attempt to summit Rainier in 2006 and made it to our 11,000-foot base camp. However, my conditioning was lacking, and hearing stories of groups coming back down after 15-hour summit attempts, I realized I could not continue with my team. Since then, Rainier has always been in the back of my mind, […]
