My brain keeps telling me to explore photography and I don't know why. Might be time to scratch that itch. Any recommendations on how to get started or where to go to learn?

A couple of years ago I became familiar with the Audiogram tool created by NY Public Radio. I was enamored and immediately set it up.

I'm slowly incorporating some high level pieces of my system back in to @OmniFocus. And to do so, I've been catching up with some videos on @LearnOmniFocus. Well done, @timstringer.

When we were hiking up to Calloway Peak on Grandfather Mountain, it became foggy. It made for some really cool (and sometimes eery) views amongst the trees.
Anyone have experience with @MMDSoftware's Composer? I'm realizing it may be the exact missing piece in my writing flow. @nvALTApp for lists and rough outlining, but a true writing editor for markdown would help.
