Place your bets! - João Almeida

I've given up on photography. I'm selling all my gear. I've removed all my photography accounts from the Internet. I'm tired of how authors and entities in general are possessive of their work and properties to the point of stupidity. The great war of the 21st century will be over intellectual property, and I don't have the mood or energy to face idiots and idiotic laws at this moment in life, of having to jump through flaming bureaucratic loops just to photograph a building from the street. I'm done for now. Thank you all who supported me and who always had nice words and constructive criticism for me and my work. I learned a lot in the past few years, both technically and aesthetically, and I've met wonderful people and went to wonderful places because of photography. Thank you! My friend Pedro Moura Pinheiro became tired of stupid people and is leaving photography, hopefully not for good. It's sad to see one of us leaving the boat... - João Almeida

Why Pinterest is the next big thing for creative people, photographers or not, either to browse for inspiration or just gather the stuff that identifies you. And while you're there check my pinboards. - João Almeida

Phil Haack does the "state of the nation" for the NuGet project, and also clarifies his role after leaving Microsoft. - João Almeida

"submitted by reddit to blog." - João Almeida

"Yup, every once in a while I try darktable or rawtherapee and their closer to what I want. But bibble/aftershot still is the only professional photo processing app, for handling large catalogs and still has the best raw conversion" - João Almeida

"Hopefully not, there aren't many photo processing options for Linux" - João Almeida

"...Try to also to find more info here: http://support.bibblelabs.com" - João Almeida

"True, but Bibble owners received the link with the coupon via email. Try to contact Bibble/Corel I upgraded mine today." - João Almeida

"Actually is cheaper the the previous version" - João Almeida

"Just a reminder to some comments here and the misleading post tittle: this competitor of Lightroom has always been on Linux (as Bibble Pro), it just got re-branded and a bit re-polished. Besides the very neat, and already mentioned, Darktable another neat alternative is Rawtherapee." - João Almeida

"ADP is a more polished Bibble but with the same features" - João Almeida

"No, an upgrade is 15€" - João Almeida

"Obrigado! Vou tentar manter o nível em 2012 :)" - João Almeida

"You really nailed it, even by identifying the 3rd gen cameras shortcomings. It's a matter of time until all pro cameras, more or less compact, will loose their mirror. The viewfinder is a great example how things have evolved but still need to evolve even more, but for me a great example of what a great viewfinder should be is the Fuji X100: simple and clear!" - João Almeida
