Now what..

So with getting this, very much unexpected free Monday, I needed to figure out what to do. My significant other is hard at work, evidently me am not so much.

Originally I thought of heading to the fun room on the attic but changed my mind. In all honesty, some of the energy I had finally gained back during the weekend, vanished when I talked to a friend, explaining why I was home today.

Quite surreal, but hey, you live, you learn.

But suddenly I found myself lost in the world of pixels and filters, trying to make sense of Affinity Photo's intricate interface. Despite having used this program on my MacBook for years, it always, just as PhotoShop, seems to be mocking me.

I don't know why I cannot seem to learn, but I always loved Capture One Pro, before the pandemic that killed off my photo business that is. Damn that was a good program, probably still is, maybe one day I will get back to them again.

But this afternoon was about Affinity Photo. I know a lot of people swear with this product as much as others swear by PhotoShop. Myself, I suck. I suck at Affinity, I suck in PhotoShop. Who the heck made these programs? Sorry, but it has to be men full stop. Everything is so over complicated it is almost laughable.

In all these programs and this MacBook of mine belong to stuff I try to avoid. At least if I need to anything else but to make a tiny touch up. read remove a dirty dot from a photo. Or type a blog post or other article. Anything more complicated than that makes my head spin.

Scientists have confirmed that human brains are naturally wired to perform advanced calculations, much like a high-powered computer, to make sense of the world through a process known as Bayesian inference.

It's like my brain is wired in the other direction. I really can't seem to get my "shit together" using these programs. So I try, and I fail.

Still I believe the featured photo of the Hortensia came out quite nice. Even more so considering it is shot in .jpg format on a pocket camera dating back to 2010, and then being spiced up in a software that honestly seem to go out of its way to make things difficult for me.

Hydrangea, commonly named the Hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan.

Now time to get spruced up and head out for a meeting with our local municipality which takes place at 7pm, and was the original reason my weird, and very much long work hours even ever came up on discussion with the big boss.

Fingers crossed for a productive presentation, making great connections and getting one step closer into opening this B&B of ours. How cool would that be!
