Presently I am pursuing the perfect pour-over coffee (using spreadsheets, weigh scales, thermometers, and timers) and just today I have added learning how to make decent protein smoothies to my task list. I can safely state that shooting portraits is a breeze compared to consistently making good pour overs. :-) On Fri, Nov 20, 2020 at 1:06 PM Igor PDML-StR <pdml...@komkon.org> wrote: > > > Cool photo, and a nice kid! > > Just on Tuesday, I took our daughter (who is in the "virtual mode") to the > school, for the school photo.
