Today was another late start, but I was quite productive in the afternoon and evening! After helping a musician friend of mine get his Hive post ready to announce his livestream earlier tonight, I went out to explore the town skating again. I really enjoy getting used to navigating all the little obstacles around. I've heard many experienced skaters say "you can never be too comfortable on your board." That's totally true in my experience, since there are so many divergent outcomes for even tiny variations in foot placement, pressure, road surface roughness/slickness, tightness of your trucks, wheel hardness/size/age, debris on the ground, cracks, etc.
It's pretty funny to bring this Aukey clip-on lens with me in my pocket to be able to take some 15x macro and 120-degree wide-angle shots. I can do it since it's a cheap lens; you definitely wouldn't want to do that with an expensive one! I realized yesterday that I should be doing all my image editing work with PNG files because of how lossy the Jpeg compression is, which gave me a pretty bad feeling because of all the months that I have been degrading the final products unnecessarily. Lol. Anyway, onward and upward! It's all a process, and of course for any of the photo work I have the originals, but would have to redo everything from there. The digital photomanipulations would be more work.

Best to keep moving forward and not worry too much. See you around!
