Software I use every day at the gallery

This is one of those, “I’ve been meaning to post this” type of a post.  I’ve been asked about software often, and specifically what I’m using at the gallery.  So, today I thought I’d share!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom2:  Lightroom is my “everything” when it comes to image work.  Seriously.  I’ve got several Lightroom Catalogs.  My personal [...]

A Primal Scream for the morning……

Fortunately the scream has led to a soft gurgling sound now and I’m happier……but had you talked to me two hours ago…..you would have gone the duck and cover route!
Often my Mac will notify me in the morning that I have updates for the system.  Lately I’ve ignored them and gone right to work.  I [...]

R.L. Charpentier Photography, LLC

For weeks I’ve been writing about the big life changes, new business, time at the gallery, prints, etc.  But it struck me this morning that I haven’t even shared the actual business name, or more importantly, what exactly it is that I’m doing.  Wow, talk about skipping over a few of the details.

My IPod Touch

Last week I rounded up a new 16GB IPod touch.  My video IPod met with an incident in the Versa that left me a little deflated.  Out of it’s case (while using a dock) it took a spill and cracked the screen.  No more usable video for me!
When the first IPod video came out I [...]

A morning of busy work

That’s the type of morning I’m having.  Several different things going on at once!  Yes, I’m blogging, but other things are going on around me as well.  Since I have to be at work by 11 I’m hoping to wrap everything up shortly.
System Maintenance
Lacie’s Silver Keeper backup program reminded me this morning that it was [...]
