Stop iPhoto from Launching when you Connect your Camera

It took me a bit of digging to find this, so I thought I may as well spread the word here. I've started using Adobe Lightroom for managing my photos, but every time I connect my camera or card reader to import photos, iPhoto would launch, and I couldn't figure out where I could change that. I finally discovered that the setting is in the Image Capture application. Run that, then go to Preferences and you'll find it there. Why they wouldn't also put it in iPhoto, Lightroom, or even on a preferences panel is beyond me.

Still here

No, I haven't abandoned this site. I've just been working my butt off at a new startup. I'll try to get some content up soon, but in the meantime, enjoy some pictures of the newest member of our family.

Just discovered that you can blog your photos directly from Flickr, so I thought I'd test it out. Gives me an excuse to post something anyway...it's been way too long.

This is a photo of a building along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. I put up another shot from a different angle as I couldn't decide which I liked better. This one probably, but let me know what you think.

Bunch of new photos on up on Flickr, btw.

Finally got off my butt and posted some more pics to Flickr.

New Climbing Pics

Added some new climbing photos to the gallery, from our recent trips up to Tuolumne and Tahoe. No captions as of yet...soon.

Tuolumne was amazing. It was our first time climbing there, despite having gone to Yosemite Valley many times. We went up with Tori and Chris, the couple we met at Cortright on July 4th weekend. We didn't have a campsite reserved, so we poached camping at a trailhead parking lot just outside of the park. The next morning we got up and got in line at the Tuolumne Meadows campsite and had no trouble getting a place for that night.

The climbing was great, the only downsides being the heat (about 80-85, but at 9000+ feet, the sun is pretty scorching) and the mosquitos. We'll definitely be heading back later in the season when things cool off a bit.

At Tahoe we spent a day climbing at Donner (Snowshed and Black Walls), and then a day at Big Chief. It was also hot there, so we did our best to climb in the shade. Most of the climbing was short sport or toprope routes--not our favorite kind of climbing (we'd much rather be doing long multi-pitch trad). But it was good to check out another area.

Ok, I think I've written enough so the text wraps around the images.
