Macs Still Win
These days I'm still cranking away on my going-on-5-years-old Powerbook. This old bugger takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin', it's great. I do all of my photo management (and occasional editing, usually too lazy) on it. Things tend to look pretty decent, color-wise, aside from all of the stupid mistakes I make when actually taking the pictures.
Then I go to the office. I work on a new Dell laptop there, provided to me by the U of O. When I log into my Flickr account, the pictures look terrible. Terrible! Too faded, too dark, too saturated, not saturated enough. I literally cringe every time I see them and think about all of my friends who are still using PCs and how every image they see on their laptops could be just as bad.
I suspect that higher-end PC laptops have better displays, but seriously, Dell, come on. My 5-year old Mac pwnz your NEW one. Get with the program.
Speaking of bad and old things, here's a classic, recently unearthed, I don't even remember who took this but it sure takes me back: How not to ride tandem, or, How not to take an action shot, or, Shades of violet that should never be worn together. Lordy.
