Radiant Gamechanger (Mini Blog)

Today I learned about rotating my avatar horizontally to take advantage of the width of my monitor to get better photos. It's such a simple trick, but it makes a huge difference.

UPDATE: In the discussion where I learned this trick, someone has asked, "Why not just change your camera settings to swap width and height?" Something I'm embarrassed to admit has never occurred to me. A few test shots don't show a change in pixels per inch, so I'm not sure there IS an advantage to rotating one's avatar for photos...

Something Happening

Petite Mort & Oubliette always have the best stuff in their lucky boards. Thanks to that, the occasional hunt, and fairly frequent sales, they account for a good chunk of my wardrobe and home furnishings. Speaking of hunts, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another Halloween hunt, because the pirate and witch costumes from last years hunt were beautiful. (You can see the pirate costume here.)
