Chad Ashley @cgpov.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Kinda feeling the urge to carry an SLR again. Got an old Sony A7 with solid glass, but do I really have the patience to process photos all the time? Especially when my phone is right there, ready to go. 🤔 350

Chad Ashley @cgpov.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Today, I challenged myself to create a replacement for incremental save.

It’s promising, but I’ll keep playing. 0240
