Was it ever decided who was going to take over the annual quote list function? I think it was a good thing and should continue. I'd volunteer if I thought I could do a competent job, but I think it should be someone who IS competent. On 2/20/2021 15:49:35, mike wilson wrote: > >> On 20 February 2021 at 20:34 "Daniel J.

Yeah, I get that a lot. I take the photos I want to take knowing they're not going to be as good as I hope they'll be, and yet some people like those photos despite the defects.

IMO it's Mark's baby and it's up to him, not us, to decide if it should continue and to whom he should pass it on if he chooses to do so. > On 21 February 2021 at 21:55 John <jsessoms002@nc.rr.com> wrote: > > > Was it ever decided who was going to take over the annual quote list function? > > I think it was a good thing and should continue.

So far I've used the iPhone to save magazine articles (mostly recipes) from when I was waiting to see the doctor at the VA and for a couple of things I felt I needed to document when I didn't have my real camera with me. And going from iPhone to PC, the few times I've needed to do it emailing the photos to myself has been adequate.

A few phone pics have made it into print because they were there when needed. I will probably use the 12 professionally on occasion. But its lack of long lens capability is limiting. However, it’s just what I need for family pics and social events. > > Paul > >> On Feb 20, 2021, at 3:59 PM, Larry Colen <lrc@red4est.com> wrote: >> >>  >> >>> On Feb 20, 2021, at 12:24 PM, John <jsessoms002@nc.rr.com> wrote: >>> >>> The thing about cell phone photos is I don't know any way to get them onto my computer other than sending them to myself vial email. >> >> For android to mac there is Android file transfer, which is a glorious pain in the ass to get it to actually connect.

I should probably explain this all started years ago when I took a photo with my old Motorola flip phone and didn't have any way to connect the phone to the computer. On the telephone with tech support at my cell phone provider (whoever it was before Verizon bought them out) we finally worked out that I could email the photo to myself. Fast forward to the 21st Century and I now have an iPhone ... but emailing the photos to myself still works. In fact it works easier on the iPhone than it did with the old flip phone. It ain't broke, so why fix it? On 2/20/2021 18:01:47, Bill wrote: > If you use a Samsung, you can link your computer to your phone and drag and > drop files between them.
