I seriously need to take control
of my ADD and ADHD. My mind is just all
over the place. I just can’t keep
concentrating on anything for more than a couple of seconds. I have so many ideas, so many options. For example, I’m typing this on my Dell XPS
17” 9700 laptop. I keep wishing I had
brought by 2022 iPad Pro 12.9” instead.
But if I brought in the iPad, I’d wish I brought in the Windows 11
laptop. I can’t win either way. I use both of the devices for very different
things but they’re all the same. I could
do everything on my laptop and I could do everything on my iPad. The thing is, is that I have both of
them. I wish I had just one device so I
could do everything just on that one device.
I could be using Adobe Lightroom Classic on my laptop along with Davinci
Resolve to edit my videos.
Last fall, I purchased the Leica
Q2 Monochrom. Fantastic camera. Amazing piece of equipment. It’s the only camera I use. Yet I still have two Canon G7X Mark III’s at
home along with a Sony RX100 Mark VII. I
could use these for video as well. But I
have a Sony FDR AX700 B at home for 4K video.
I have way too many options. I
think when I start doing the nomad life just living in my life, I will just use
one camera for the video and one camera for the photos. I think I’ll be using the Leica for just the
photography and the Sony FDR AX700B for video.
I’m going to have to learn how to use Affinity Photo ver. 2 on the iPad
Pro and I’ll have to keep learning and using Lumafusion for video editing.
I keep using the iPad Pro for
99.9999% of the work that I do.
Lumafusion and Davinci Resolve both run on the iPad Pro like a dream
along with Affinity Photo ver. 2. The
problem with the iPad Pro is it’s only 12.9” large and it isn’t 4K. My Dell XPS 9700 has a 17” 4K monitor and it’s
amazingly gorgeous. The problem with the
iPad is the lousy operating system and the lack of Final Cut Pro on the machine. Multitasking on the iPad Pro is also a bit
problematic. It’s not true or real multitasking. If Apple just ported the real Mac operating
system onto the iPad, it’d be a fantastic device.
What the iPad line is missing a
real operating system and some more pro apps such as Final Cut Pro. The Apple office suite seems to need more of
an update as well. Since I’m going to be
the nomad / living out of my car thing, I can only have so many devices with
me. All I really want is one photo
camera, one camcorder and one device to edit all these things on.
The benefits of a laptop is true
multitasking, storage and the versatility of a laptop. The downsides of a laptop, especially my
Dell, is the portability and storage along with power consumption. I could sit in a coffee shop for hours on end
but I don’t want to be doing that.
The benefits of an iPad Pro is
the size and weight. I barely notice it
while carrying the iPad Pro around with me.
Another benefit is the Apple ecosystem.
I have several Apple devices including the iPhone, the Apple watch and
the iPad Pro. I also have 2 Toshiba T5
SSD hard drives which are small and light. They’re both 2TB in storage size.
All of this info to summarize is
I want to move out west to Calgary and do the landscape photography full
time. I sell quite a few photographs on
the various stock agencies a month but you cannot sustain any lifestyle on the
amount of photos I sell. I thought of
selling prints but I don’t know how many people buy photography anymore. I just need multiple sources of passive income
to sustain a photography career. YouTube
is difficult to do. Currently I have 47 subscribers. I would need a few thousand to get any real
income from that. I use Fine Art America
to sell prints but those are far few and in between.
I have to make my photography
career work. Photography is my
passion. People say follow your passion
and the money will come. I wish the
money would come a little bit faster. So
here is a simple synopsis of my ADHD and ADD.
An article all over the place.
Like my wandering mind.
