For each month I am able …

My bathtub can’t go from 0-60 in… Read more…

Better solution than a portable external hard drive?

Better solution than a portable external hard drive? I store all of my photography files on an external drive, including my lightroom catalog, raw files + film scans, photoshop files, and more. I’ve been doing this since college, and they often start to show signs of failing very quickly. I work off of the hard drive too, which I know is not a great idea for the sake of the drive’s longevity, but …
