ABOUT THIS SITE

This blog’s moniker is “Meandering Passage.”  Since 2006 the name has been a remarkably accurate descriptor for the path both this blog and in some ways, my own life has traveled.  The significance of the ‘Meandering’ part of the name should be fairly obvious and whether you comprehend the meaning of ‘Passage’ as either a physical voyage or as a short written extract both still accurately describe the content and progress of this blog.  It’s meandered from a technical blog with a strong Apple Mac computer influence to a personal Photoblog, travel/RV lifestyle, or journal, with personal insights.  I wouldn’t care to predict where or what Meandering Passage will be a year from now except I hope it keeps evolving.

ABOUT ME

I’m the owner and primary editor/author of “Meandering Passage” which I utilize to publish information, document personal observations and as a vehicle for sharing my photographic efforts.  I will not talk about myself in third-person here, as some blog about pages do, as I find that to be a little creepy.  I see my life as being somewhat a ‘Meandering Passage’ in itself, covering a fairly wide range of experiences from being raised on a farm, spending 11+ years in USAF as an intelligence analyst, and then 17+ years in Information Systems working for an international manufacturing company.  I’ve also worked as a motorcycle mechanic and have lived and traveled while full-time RV’ing.  Traveling has always meant something special to me and I hope to continue doing so as long as possible.  Photography is also one of my interests and you’ll find examples of my efforts in the Galleries on this site.

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to explore via the menus links above.  I appreciate your visit, I welcome honest/constructive comments and I hope you will return.  If need be, you can contact me here.  ~ Earl

 

Note: The photos you’ll find on this site over its 14-year history were made using one of the following cameras depending upon the time or circumstances: Nikon D200, D300, D600, D700, Olympus E-M5, E-M1, E-M1 II, Sony A7II or one of the following Apple iPhones,  5, 6s, XR.   For managing and post-processing, the following software is most often used:  Alien Skin’s Exposure 5,  Affinity Photo, Topaz Studio 2, Topaz Denoise AI, Topaz Sharpen AI, Topaz Adjust AI, Skylum’s Luminar 4 or the DXO’s NIK Collection.  For years I used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC in photograph management and post-processing but decided to get off the subscription bandwagon a couple of years ago and switched to Exposure X and Affinity Photo.  I’ve been very satisfied with this change, never looking back!
