It’s been over a decade since I moved to Thailand and while I’ve showcased photos of people from various nationalities on the blog, there haven’t been many Thais. I’ve written several times that Thai modeling agencies tend to have people from other countries, and if you do come across Thais, they don’t have the distinctive […]
Since mid-2021, I have been using a PC while switching between sitting and walking on a treadmill. After first 8 months, I lost 20 kg (44 lbs) and 25 cm (9.84 in) around my waist, my fitness also improved, and the comfort of using a PC is higher than when I used to stand in […]
Once, while appearing as a guest on a photography podcast, I said I couldn’t host a podcast about taking photos, but I could easily record 1,000 episodes about technology. So I’m working on it :). Photography topics will probably come up sometimes too, especially considering that recent episodes have already mentioned cameras, lenses, tripods, […]
Over the past year, I've spent quite a lot of time in virtual reality, but I can see that VR is still science fiction to many people—especially VR that doesn't require a computer, console, phone, or anything else to work. It's still a niche, even though last year was a huge step forward for virtual reality, and in 2020 its development […]
Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows that for roughly two years I had been searching quite intensely for a black keyboard built like the Apple Magic Keyboard—low-profile, with short key travel. Since I would consider only models without a numeric keypad, it turned out that such a keyboard didn’t exist. Apple offered only the Space Gray […]
How the HomePod performs is probably old news by now, especially since every review repeats the same points: excellent audio for such a small speaker and very good quality for the price. This time, though, I want to look at using HomePods in my home office for music and podcasts. I will also cover the advantages […]
At the end of May, I flew to Poland for the first time in two years. For a month, I tried to meet as many friends as possible, get a new passport and visa, take care of many other things, and eat as much pizza, pierogi, and roulades as I could (a Silesian dish—highly recommended!). I wasn’t planning to take any photos, so the camera stayed in […]
Is it worth buying photography and computer equipment in Thailand? Why does every Thai person keep the virtual Home button enabled on their iPhone screen, and why are shopping malls so popular in this country? I wrote about all of this for iMagazine, and the article has recently become available simply by visiting their website.
Most of my readers have probably long since become accustomed to paying Adobe a subscription for its photography plan, which includes Photoshop and Lightroom. Setapp, meanwhile, offers more than 100 paid macOS applications for $10 per month. By paid, I mean that without Setapp you would buy each one separately—sometimes for tens of zlotys, sometimes hundreds. Ten dollars […]
I have considered the Logitech Harmony Hub one of the best purchases of my life for the past 5 years, and I have finally managed to make it launch my audio/video devices and trigger HomeKit scenes using voice commands spoken to Siri. I always had problems with this on HomeBridge. Now not only do I no longer need Homebridge, but everything simply works. […]
Few countries in the world can compete with Poland when it comes to internet access, especially mobile internet. And although Poland is definitely not among the leaders in average connection speeds (it currently ranks 30th in the world for fixed internet and 54th for mobile), the ratio of price to speed and available data allowance is simply […]
Some of my readers probably know that I am more interested in technology than photography. In photography, my interests mainly concern how light is used. Following news, watching trade-show coverage, or subscribing to photography channels on YouTube is not for me. There are exceptions, but very few. Technology is completely different for me. Every day I follow the news, […]
A little over a dozen days ago, this blog turned three years old. At first I published every week. Later, several months would pass without a single post, then I would publish a series and stop again... I wanted to describe photoshoots with a focus on lighting. It was also meant to motivate me to take better and better photos […]
This post was written in February 2014, but I later decided to give it a proper update (last updated: April 24, 2021). I also wrote a follow-up to this article that covers other subjects. If you're more interested in everything else than the costs and other very basic information, especially what it's like to live in Thailand longer term, it's better to start with another post: Bangkok after 3 […]
How to learn to photograph models and create my portfolio? Should you go to a proper school, learn from […]
