The heart breaks. I had a camera bag stolen while I was at dinner by a little girl in Madrid while I was in High School just a couple years later than your '89 experience (I thought I was doing a good job securing the bag beneath my seat - a nine year old proved me less worldly than I thought I was). Probably a half dozen rolls of exposed film and my mid-80s Canon AE-1 were in that bag. sad times.

I run TNG family tree software. It's not pure photo based and not the most modern thing on the planet, but it allows you to create people, link photos to them, all that good stuff. It's family tree software and runs on your own server so you own your data, unlike a lot of places.

what about your phone? 99.9999% of people are going to look at your pictures on their phones with barf-yellow night-bullshit turned on.

Coinbase is "clamping down on users?" What does this mean?

I use my seed phrases once a year, maybe less, on random, and rotating non-schedules. I'm nowhere near smart enough to remember a half dozen various seed phrases with different random words and pull those up at will. I make a point not to "need" a seed phrase when I'm away from my office, either, so why would I ever need it memorized, even if I were smart enough to memorize?

They also serve as advertising for the company handing out the award. In the perfect scenario (for them), handing out awards confers some sort of subject authority.

pretend she's a human being and not just a model. It works wonders.

Nah, I tease, but it's also kind of true. Start by deciding where you're going to shoot. Discuss what kinds of poses and what wardrobe she'll be using. Set a time ("let's take 2 hours on this") so you both have an idea, and then go about doing your research. Don't pose her - ask her to pose or change or move this or that.

It's all very straightforward if you just treat the model the way you'd want to be treated, were you in their stilettos.

set it on auto everything and use a tripod. that camera should give you excellent exposure and focus on its own. pose the group in the shade, and take more than one photo.

edit: i'm late to the party. the dudes gave great advice.

This is the answer. If you want to be WRONG.
