Graduation Embedded Thumbnails

Graduation is an amazing accomplishment, and getting quality photos is also another accomplishment.

This year our daughter walked the stage and the school hired a studio to take the Diploma-Holding photos. Today they provided us a link to their pixieset.com shop to view those photos.

These are great photos, and as much as we would like both of them at $27.00 per photo we just cannot afford it. They even went the extra distance of overlaying their advertising/copyright as well as adding in copyright and tag exif metadata within each photo to hammer it home that it’s their property.

…except they forgot one tiny thing about their Canon EOS R5 camera…

Learning python

Part of learning a new programming language when you already know a couple is getting deep into the nitty gritty of it. With Python being the new BASIC I decided to start with something, well, basic.
