My new article on hybrismart.com. It’s about how the management of “assets” – images, uploaded documents – is organized. They are stored in the file system in a rather unusual way, and the article discusses this format and what surprises one might expect from it.

Well, yes, if you’re not from the Hybris world, you might not find it very useful – almost no use at all 😦

I’m figuring out my lenses for the Canon 6D. Conducted a test of two of my lenses from my balcony. For those who know, your opinion – can this YUNGNUO 1.8 be used for portraits, or is it too “blurry”? Trying to understand in which areas specifically this YUNGNUO is better than 24-105.

We watched “Center Stage” yesterday. The movie is about the life of ballet, the dancers, and their journey to success. The film is already 17 years old, but it’s definitely worth watching. Although it has elements of cheap teenage series from the last century. The final dance is simply a masterpiece. It takes up almost a third of the film, but it seems that it was the reason the other two-thirds were filmed.

The film features the young Ilia Kulik – an Olympic champion in figure skating. He plays a student at a ballet academy, one of the main roles. It was a surprise and quite astonishing for me to see him in a movie – three and a half years ago, our Masha was training with him (and Katia Gordeeva) in Los Angeles. This added even more interest to the movie.

I was driving on a highway with a speed limit of 110 km/h when a bear suddenly appeared on the road, on my lane. It quickly realized something was wrong and scurried back into the forest.

On a smaller road today, I encountered a rabbit that ran alongside the car for a few seconds.

We went to the mountains today.
