180 Billy Newman Photo podcast mixdown NFT Art And Photo Minting

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman photo podcast. Happy St. Patrick's Day appreciates you guys tuning into this episode and checking it out. I wanted to talk today about some information coming out about NF T's. And it's been a great, significant bit of news in the digital art market, at least in the last couple of weeks or something. And it might be a short-term bubble, but I thought I'd talk about it a bit. It's these, these non-fungible tokens in this kind of weird and abstract idea that I don't think we've seen explored yet, and it's going to make sense in the future, probably for digital spaces or something like that. But it's also kind of a strange idea. These NF T's, these non-fungible tokens, are these kinds of blockchain-backed tickets of pieces of art built into a smart contract so that you can have information about it. And it's, I guess, it's proof of origin to the owner. And this is supposed to be what makes it valuable and unique. And these go up on markets, and art collectors are purchasing these digital art pieces to be individual pieces of digital art, or at least have the unique ownership of that token of digital art.

I guess it goes up in value; a few different people have made a lot of money trying to sell these, these NF t pieces of rare art that they're creating. And it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I also think it's kind of related to the big, big boost that we've seen in aetherial. And in Bitcoin in the last couple of months, where people had, I guess, like a lot of money or a lot of assets in Ethereum and Bitcoin, and they were able to put that over into these collectible pieces of art and see that I guess they grow in value. Also, I think William Shatner put out an NF t collection of collectible works of art throughout his career that the NBA put out top shots, which is like a collectible Hi, highlight reel of different pieces of the games this year, I guess. There are other trading cards and stuff that have come out various selling video game tools, or video game assets that you can buy and then transfer in a wallet to the game and then apply like special armor or special tools or unique swords or something like that.

And that kind of makes sense. In a digital world, you buy an asset that you would want to have in it, and then it would do something. But it's interesting, though, in the art market, I think Grimes put out some piece of digital artwork or some collection of digital painting, and it's sold for millions of dollars. I think Lindsay Lohan put out just a picture of herself with an Ethereum diamond in front of her face that sold for $17,000. The band Kings of Leon was the first to put out an NFT album and NFT collectible, and I guess collectible band memorabilia around it or something. But I think it was through yellow heart.io was this company partnered with to do an NFT release of their album, which is interesting. And it'll be interesting to see how the kind of control that stuff into the future. But yeah, they definitely like it at the moment when the NF t story was popping.

So I heard about it a few weeks ago. I've also heard about a few years ago, I think, like back in 2019. I talked a bit about the distributed apps and the interplanetary file system stuff being developed. And it's different and a few others it's more blockchain but kind of related stuff about using some distributed web stuff to do some interesting, I guess, kind of distributed sales and tools and stuff. But it's cool that this has some taken off; it'll be interesting to sort of see what's going on; it's getting a lot of attention by digital artists as an opportunity to be a new avenue to sell art and to have an evaluation of collectible art.

And it'll be cool if it does take off. And it's probably like early days like it was sort of weird and abstract to talk about Bitcoin early on; it's perhaps still too odd and abstract to talk about NF T's and unique pieces of digital art as having equity in the digital virtual reality space. Maybe that'll make more sense in 15 years, but right now, it seems like why I don't understand what that was even to do with that. Which is, you know, kind of where I'm at, I don't know that you like, how you get the accurate equity in a digital asset like that if you can duplicate it and copy it. Again. And again, even though you have a smart contract that does say, You're the original owner, I kind of get through some evaluation of it. But still, it just sorts of seems like there, and it doesn't have to hold that much value. But for collectors and stuff, it's an exciting way to see it.

But what I'm looking at was a couple of ways that photographers tried to apply this to set up their sets of photos or see as a collection of pictures and like, e-book or something like that, or even like physical goods, where they have an intelligent contract set up to have a print delivered to the individual who purchases it, along with the NFT, that I think is just the blockchain ledger record of original ownership or something. So it's interesting how, I guess, they weigh that out; I haven't seen anybody be specifically successful with any one way of doing it yet. And that would be interesting to seeing what happens; I was looking at Trey Radcliff he's, he's been in the digital photo environment for about ten years or something like that big an HDR stuff, it's okay. And successful, push a lot of work sells it to a lot of good spots, a lot of good prints and stuff out there, he set up an NFT gallery of some of his prints to be limited run collectible.

So you can go in and select in a gallery and get, or whatever it is that that smart contract, I guess kind of sets you up for maybe it's a specific print, perhaps it's just that, like, whatever digital version has a locked content piece that you get there, you can purchase it and then have that as a collectible. And it makes sense for a lot of artists. So in that sense, it's something similar to what I'm going to try and do where I'm going to set up a gallery of some of my photographs and a limited run as NF T's in their only run as those NF T's and put them on the market to see how they work. But generally, that seems like an analog to the same function that you do for a stock photography market where you'd buy a photo, receive the file, and have the right to use that photo. Or if you were going to purchase an image or a digital print off of my website or something like that, and then receive that was just sort of like it seems in a way another analog to achieve that same thing.

What's interesting is if, if it kind of goes into a different space, where are you getting some di

159 Billy Newman Photo podcast mixdown Film Scans From The Darkroom

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Appreciate you guys checking out this episode. I think it's getting into October a bit. And it's cool. It's kind of nice to have in the fall. Come on, and the seasons changed a bit, we had a bit of rain, and it's been a little back and forth. And hope we get a little of an Indian summer with some nice weather sort of stretching out. And apart in November, hopeful for that. I know we felt like a couple of years of that in the past, but it seems like it's a bit back and forth. And pleasant might not be the answer for what happens this year. But I've been working on some film scans. And I wanted to get into that I had talked to a couple of podcasts ago about how I had sent a roll of 100-speed actor film out to development house in I think San Clemente called the darkroom. It was like a website service that was suggested to me a while back, but it looks fine, or Yeah, they've got a website online that talks about the film development stuff that they do a lot of the like color film processing for 35-millimeter film work just great. And I think that they do a medium format and other types of film development as well. But I had taken a role of 100 Media actor film out of the camera after I'd finished it, I think on a trip back in August, and I had prepped it, put it in a mailer, and then sent it out to its place down in, I guess, Southern California. So it took a couple of weeks, and they set up an account, got my films negatively scanned, and then I think they sent the negatives back to me; I just received the envelope that I thought yesterday. But a few days before that, I got an email with a link to download a zip file with all the scanned images. And so I think they were JPEG format. And I picked the higher resolution scans, which worked out a lot better for me; I think there are a few different tiers that you can select from like, maybe starts at $12 for the basic scan, then I think it moves up to somewhere around 15 or 18 bucks. All in all, I think it's been about $25 to get this roll of film developed and scanned and then mailed back to me. And it's okay, and it's like a good amount. But it used to be cheaper, and it seems like. I think like when I go to Fred buyer and do like the one-hour color film development CD only, which is I think I did a lot of it for a long time, especially like through like Walgreens or Payless or Fred Mayer or something like that, you know, and like stop. They pulled all those operating features out a couple of years ago. And then it was just stuck taking my film to a cool and old local shop that would do the C 41 processing there. And they would do like a 24-hour turnaround for your film. But everybody suffering from the same problem that they didn't have a scanning system that was really up to the technology of the day when I think, you know, like I probably mentioned even way back when I was talking about all this film scanning stuff that many of the film scanners that they had that they'd introduced to a lot of the like the supermarket you know, department stores was a like two or three-megapixel scanner. And I think it was maybe for convenience or speed. And it's probably still similar to that, you know, if you order the most basic scans that p

154 Billy Newman Photo podcast mixdown Developing film and Converting old tapes

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast for the first week of September 2020. I hope everybody's doing well. Thanks a lot for checking out this episode. I wanted to talk a little about the start of September, some of the stuff I've been up to. It's cool, and I just finished a roll of film here pretty recently. Like I think during this last week when I was out traveling around, and I haven't finished a roll of film in a while, I've been shooting mostly on the digital camera that I've got kind of moved over to canon equipment back in 2018. And I've been shooting with that for, and I guess now almost two years is what it's coming up too. And so, during that time, I picked up a Canon film camera.And I've been using the Canon lenses that I have for my digital camera. On the Eos system over on an older canon film camera from I think the late 90s is what I was able to pick up. So I went over on like kth comm. I think this was this is probably like nine months ago or so at the beginning of the year. And I picked up a really inexpensive Canon camera body was like $35, something like that, to, to pick up this camera, mostly plastic in the body, but it has a bunch of the manual controls that you would expect from the sort of mid-range SLR sort of like the five D Mark, or you know, the five D Mark, the five D line, you know, whatever when you want to pick, but it's not the full professional build model. But it's definitely not the lower-end one. So yeah, it has like kind of the same layout of buttons and stuff on it as you can get with the more modern layout of cannon buttons and stuff. So most of it's really the same as it kind of translates back from one to the other. But it's a cool, pretty simple camera, and it's got, I think, like three focus points, three autofocus points on the inside. And that works fine for the kind of simple stuff that I was trying to do. But it's cool I was a cargo by I'm out here at a wildlife refuge spot. And I was checking out sort of has changed now that it's September 1, they've cut all the grass that they grow in these fields out here, that's all been cut, bailed, driven off. And then now it's like been tilled up, and there's like dirt and rocks and like all of these big multi-acre fields that kind of a stretch on out here. So we're working with this canon film camera, this, I can't remember what the name of it is. But it's got pretty simple controls, and it's been easy to use. It has a weird battery. Maybe I have talked about that before. The kind of tricky thing about some of these late 90s SLR cameras is that they take this sort of proprietary about these almost proprietary disposable batteries. I think this one is something sort of like to sort of fat double A's that are bonded together. And then kind of wrapped in this, you know, this little casing unit and that's supposed to like fit in your camera, and then the power of the camera for a couple of rolls or something like that it works fine. But I always kind of prefer the double-A or something that's a little more standard. They understood that they needed certain batteries to deliver more power for certain mechanisms. But I think now they've got that pretty well figured out with different series or different sets of series of double A and triple A batteries that they can use. Like that, the lithium-ion double-A batteries seem to work fine. And a lot of the stuff that I've used before, even just you know, the basic Duracell stuff has always worked fine. These are, these are weird batteries. So there, you know, like really thick, kind of, like if you took a double-A battery, and it was made playdough you took a double-A just kind of squished it a centimeter smaller than it was and kind of got it fatter on the sides. That's sort of what it looks like. And like I was saying, Yeah, bound together as I set it to and then put into the camera, and I haven't had to replace it in a year, but really, I've only shot through one roll. So I think like when I shoot with the Nikon f4, I think that takes a proprietary battery, but if you have the double-A battery pack system that attaches to it, and that's what I had so that one took like, took like six double-A batteries that went into the base and into the handle of the camera. And you could get about ten rolls of film shot with just that one set of batteries. And for me that would last a really long time. But if you'd imagine, you know, 10 rolls of film is you know, Max 36 frames. So if you multiply that out, it's you know, it's not more than a day's worth of shooting if you're if you're kind of shooting an event or like a wedding Or a sporting event, or something like that, where you're going to be expected to come back with a lot of frames that you, you know, develop and produce and then pick from. But for most of this kind of like, landscape work that I'm up to, or you like, this sort of stuff, it's a lot slower, it's a lot easier in a lot of ways to put together and a little more steady way. And so yeah, 10 roles, or, you know, like, I'm not going to shoot through 10 roles in the next two years, probably. Because it's, you know, sort of novelty thing for me to shoot now, but it's cool. I got that film role finished, I think, yeah, like I was saying it was probably from January till near the end of August now. So it's really not like a fast pace, it's probably like two or three frames a month that I've been shooting, but it's at a number of the different camps and stuff that I've gone to over the last year are different like trips and stuff that I've gone through different little spots that I was at. So I hope that there's some cool stuff on there. It's kind of fun when you go back and check. And you see, like what you got. And if you haven't, like, duplicate it over, or at least if I noticed, I haven't really duplicated over the the photo sets with, you know, a bunch of digital images of the same location, and then a bunch of film photos that same location have I really like crossed over too much. It's really almost a surprise to me what I when I developed the role, and I see some frames over there, I think, oh, man, I've heard you know, I've never seen this photo before, I never got to look at the back of the screen, just have to see how this photo would come out. I didn't I didn't get to pull it up on my

148 Mixing With A Midi Controller In Lightroom and Logic Pro X

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast, recorded for the first week of June 2020. I hope everybody's doing good. I got a cup of coffee made over here, and I'm hanging out at my studio desk and trying to get a couple of minutes of recording to make a post up today. I hope everybody's been doing well. I have been hanging in there through the lockdown reopening been hanging in there through the protests that have started up a lot of news and stuff going on, a lot of pictures and stuff, a lot of new images from all the different media sources, either the press photographers like the AP press photographers or are more impressively all the cell phone footage that's been captured just in the last two weeks or so has been astounding. I think it's it is going to go down in history is sort of an interesting event, sort of similar to how, what am I saying here, even just as media progresses, and now the proliferation of everyone having a camera in their pocket is sort of what's created a revolutionary moment, in a sense, you know where we get to have a lot of information captured not only from, from specific media sources, like an AP press photographer but also a 17-year-old girl gets to record a video and send that out. And that piece of media captures a moment that has a huge influence on a huge part of the culture. And I think that's one of the systems that that maybe hadn't been foreseen before, in, in the way that media works, and that the way that media spreads messages through the world, but that's thinking about, well, how would we say so just in the last couple of weeks, given that everyone now has a phone. In some way, to capture media, we've had all sorts of instances of these, this specific? Well, I guess, let's say police brutality, circumstances, and murders that have happened, that have been captured on video, and photographs, and you have just like different tear gas things or protesters different peaceful protesters being attacked different rioters being exposed for the crimes that they're committing. And so it's fascinating to see like how fast we can get these pieces of media I was thinking about maybe something like 911 when, when we just first started having digital media on the ground for recording you know, I think that's one of the first events where we had VHS like tape footage just from someone who had a camera on them when the event had happened. I think that's like one of the videos from now 11 we saw again and again after the buildings fell off this camera, kind of running away through the cloud of dust that was there. Intense footage. I also remember looking up that photojournalist back in 2001, had just started using a Canon D 30, which I think was their very first think their very first digital camera that was put out into newsrooms. So, even on 2001 September 11, 2001, a lot of the media was created on film. And a lot of the media was created on what, you know, like VHS tape or like really low megapixel, like three mega, maybe three or two-megapixel cameras back then. So I thought that was fascinating. I think it was like another year or another like, oh, maybe that I think the Nikon Done had just come out, which I'd probably talked about on this podcast before that was like one of the first cameras. So there were only a couple of digital photography options back then. The idea of cell phone videos, you know, I mean, imagine what that kind of event would have been like if every single person had a feed of video that had been uploaded or recorded on the day of an event like that. So this was fascinating about the kind of changes in those events as we progressed through history. But I was also thinking back to Vietnam, where there were a lot of videos, well, I guess, the Vietnam era and maybe the era of the 60s there, the protests and riots that had gone on to end Vietnam now. And to get the civil rights bill passed. There's a lot of media created around that we still see in history books now. But a significant amount of that media was all created by the press at the time. And that's the divergence that we see now is that instead of sort of edited message that was represented by the press, we're seeing an unedited message that's developed and created and shared by a wide population of people across the United States. And then it's edited through the crowd and then edited through the links that you receive, and even still, that's probably a manipulation of the total amount of information available. But it's just fascinating to see kind of the changes and progression of media. I'm not saying it's better now or worse than it was before. The application of media to communicate a message to a population seemed like, you know, I don't know. It's just interesting to analyze. I guess kind of the types of things that are changing. I remember, I guess, first thinking about this with 2000, maybe I don't know, probably not the first time, but I was thinking about this again, with the 2017 Eclipse. I know it's odd to try and compare these two circumstances. But historically, I started thinking about this idea that when 2017, all American Eclipse happened on, I think, what was August 21, maybe 7/17 2017, it was 2017. So it was probably the 28th. I don't know what it was. But when we had the all-American Eclipse, there were videos, and there were great photographs from almost every photographer, every Instagram photographer, every you know, amateur prosumer, or semi-professional. I have a bunch of photographs from the Eclipse that are okay. But everyone was able to capture photographs from all over the country. And that's because they all had, they all had a piece of media equipment. And then, as you go back in time to different eclipses that have happened in the past, I was trying to do that, as I was looking up information without Eclipse coming up. There's almost no information about that the past cycle of that Eclipse. So you know, I think it was like back in the 90s. And so you had some news reports from France or something, it was this, you know, cache kind of wobbly VHS tape that was uploaded to YouTube, there are a couple of photos, like one or two photos from its app, its appearance in 1945. And it's cool to see a black and white photo of an eclipse, but it's like one or two that exist. And now there are hundreds of gigabytes of images and different sequences

147 Logic Pro 10.5 BNP mixdown v2

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode, Billy Newman photo podcast recorded for May 26, 2020. How's everybody doing today? I wanted to talk today about some stuff I've been doing this last week for the last few weeks. I've been talking about some outdoor stuff and some things related to the lockdown pandemic stuff, but I kind of change and change what I was talking about a little bit for this podcast. Still, I wanted to get into was some of the training stuff I've been looking into around Logic Pro 10.5 that has just come out recently. And I thought it'd be cool to go over a little bit of an overview of some of the new features and stuff that you can do with a digital audio workstation, and why to bother talking about it. But I think it was about a year ago or so. I was talking about setting up the studio in the house that I met here and getting a PC ready to go is an older one. I think like something from some desktop I had around from 2010 or 11 or so. Yeah, yeah, by that time. And I remember getting that computer set up with an I think it was like Windows 10 on it. And then I was using, and I think, the same audio interface USB out into the computer. And then I had downloaded I downloaded sonar, the new version of sonar that you can get for free. I think both cakewalk sonar had owned it. And then I think Gibson had bought out cakewalk. And so it became Gibson sonar, and then I think Gibson decided that wasn't going to be part of their business anymore. So I think they just kind of shut it down, essentially, but then sold that off to band lab. COMM band lab is a, I think, a minor it's another internet company. They have a simplified digital audio workstation app that you can use to create a demo or something like that. But what they've done is they've gone through, I guess, and have purchased probably for a relatively low price, or I don't know, I assume since they're just keeping it and kind of hardly maintaining, or you know, doing a bit to maintain it. But they took the sonar Platinum program, the full digital audio workstation, and the multi-tracking tool, and they made it free for people to use and get. But I think it's only a Windows-only program. So you got to have got windows 10 to run it. So I did that. Yeah, and sonar was a program that I'd worked with before for doing some studio multitrack. And stuff, I think, years ago, probably around 2012 2013, when I was working with some friends to set up some studio equipment stuff, was cool. We had like a big sound craft ghost that was laid out. And then we had many channels kind of running into that from the microphones that we're using to track this band. And then that all went into a pretty old computer was amazing what it could do, you know, for just it was probably like a two gigabyte of RAM. You know, smaller hard drive 2004 or five, six era PC computer probably would even be that much, right? There's something about that time. But that's what we used. Yeah, that's like all we had with us. We had an, I think it was like a PreSonus audio interface. And then we got like, like an eight-channel audio interface. That was really cool. You know, we had like eight digital audio channels coming into the interface, which means we could track the live channels into sonar at a time. And it didn't even pick up, you know, even on that old machine. And so it was interesting how that architecture works to do some editing stuff, but sonar is what I had been using before. For some stuff, really audition. Adobe Audition is what I'd use most for some of this kind of the more simple radio broadcast style stuff. And that's what I had learned to use when I was at a radio station doing internship years and years ago, back in 2008. Right, in Summer 2008, they did that. And they use Adobe Audition version 1.52 to do all their radio production edits. And yeah, going in taking calls with the production guy, or somebody calling him to do like an I think they would do like a water level report is a radio that station now you can figure, but they would have like this. Suddenly, you know, it's 1245. And here's your local water level report for July 28 or something. And then it would be some lady that would call in from a department that would measure this stuff, and she would give her water report and the production guy you'd record it and then produce that then it'd be prepped to go out on air later. You know, it's like a spot that a DJ would trigger upstairs, and so we kind of walk. You're using audition to do those steps. And so learning that as a program was probably the first one that I'd done, we should probably go back to high school before that when I was doing editing stuff, but sonar back to sonar was some of the stuff that I've used. Probably a good bit more for the music, you know, like trying to track a band or do like multi-tracking projects. But so yeah, that's what it used to be. That's why I threw on 10 PC to do audio production stuff for this podcast workflow that I was trying to get into. And it's cool. It works well. But I stopped using a computer A while ago, and I think the windows ten computer that I'm talking about had a power supply go bad, which could be replaced pretty easily and is on a to-do list. But since then, I've just been relying on the kind of like I'd mentioned, just recording, recording onto the device. And then using Adobe Audition to do the post-production work on my MacBook, which is kind of interesting. It's just a more, it's just a better workflow for the most part, so I've been kind of sticking with that. But recently, to get to the point, as you are all excited. Logic Pro 10.5 has come out with no logic. As yet to be mentioned in this podcast, Logic Pro is the program produced by Apple as their professional digital audio workstation. And so there's GarageBand, which probably a lot of people have some experience with. And GarageBand is sort of the trimmed down simplified home user version of a program, like Logic Pro, and they've done that intentionally. I think it's the same team that generates the two programs. And look at them, or you look at their interfaces, and you look at the types of access that you have to things, you do see a familiar similarity to it. Which is cool. So if you've used something like GarageBand in the past for home projects, you won't have as big of a difficulty moving into a more professional digital audio workstation environment, like Logic Pro

141 DAPPS

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Appreciate you guys checking out another exciting episode of one to avoid bad dust in the background. So I wanted to do another podcast today to do a sort of a collection of some of the things that I've been trying to work on getting the computer stuff up and go and that I've been trying to do, so it's a few different things that I've been trying to detect, check out a lot of it around some of the surveys, just talking about around the ipfs interplanetary file system, stuff that I've been thinking is pretty fun, it's kind of cool, checking out some of these different systems that people are creating like D tube that I've talked about a few times d sounds dot audio is another one that I've been trying to publish to which sort of has its ups and downs in some way. But then really on the other side of it is some of the stuff that you can do with the browser's system, or I think I'm using the various right now. And then there's also the ability to. I guess set it up from the command line or something like that. But say diria is the Orion side by siderius. I think Orion by saying do seem to be the easiest way to get an ipfs node started on your computer, Windows, Mac, or Linux, which is pretty cool. So I have mine going on a Windows 10 computer over here. I have it going on to Macintosh computers. And I'm still trying to figure out sort of how it works, I think a lot of stuff that you're putting up is going on to your local node, and it's being served out from there. But I was testing it out the other day just with Marina. And we like uploaded a small picture and got the hash link for it and then opened it in the browser on her computer and it pulled up the image file, it pulled up like an E-book thing that I put up there too. So it's pretty cool that you can find it that you can, I guess even have that built out. But really interesting out works. So I'm trying to I guess use that a little bit more and put up a bunch of the videos and stuff that I have up there. And a way where I can use it in the long term. You know, my understanding of it is that it's sort of persistent on the internet. And then it'll be there distributed for a long time, if it gets distributed properly before, I think if it gets off my note or something like that, but I'm not even sure that really breaks it or not, I'm not sure yet, but I'm trying to figure it out. Pretty exciting stuff though, figuring out the distributed web. The other part of it I'm trying to figure out is how to do website publishing onto the distributed web. And I think there's a few tools that are going to be in development probably right now. They're supposed to be released, maybe closer toward the end of 2019. But one that I'm checking out? Well, there's two of them. There's the Pico CMS, which has been used, I think, on Linux for a long time to make standalone HTML, sort of CMS based bersih. HTML CSS websites through a CMS. Well, that's a lot of letters. There's this other one, though, that is the one that I mean to talk about, which is called public. That I think is still in beta. Right now. It's a piece of software that runs again, on Mac, Linux and Windows, I have it on my, I think on two Mac's right now that I've been trying it out on. But there's a few different themes. It's a standalone program that runs on the computer, and then you can select a theme. And then you can go through and make modifications, that theme and add your content into it like pictures and whatever your posts are that you want to have add to it. And then you can preview it. And it's just a standalone file architecture that is building like on the computer where it's writing out the code and the CSS file that is supposed to reference to so it's working pretty well. It's kind of cool. I'm trying to check it out a little bit and sort of see what kind of little say I could build with it. But the reason I say that is because standalone websites as opposed to the things that are sort of set up more like a database like WordPress that I've got going on, I think that maybe you could do it with WordPress, too. I'm not really totally sure about it. But from what I understand that the standalone just sort of flat HTML website is pretty easy to put up onto this distributed web that I keep talking about. So you can take that standalone file that contains the text and photos and code and stuff for your website, put it up onto your distributed web ipfs node, and then take that hash link, and then open that in any browser. And then that'll open up whatever website content you had there, and it will show it in the browser. It's kind of a cool idea.

140 IPFS AND CAKEWALK AUDIO RECORDING

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. I wanted to talk a little bit today about some of the audio chain stuff that I've been trying to put together in the podcasting studio that I've been building, I guess, but it's fun. It's just going to open the different pieces together. I've been trying to use cakewalk sonar more. And actually, that's what I'm recording right now, which is kind of cool. I like using the program. It's kind of interesting to use it a bit. Oh, interesting. I see what I'm doing a little bit more. I just kind of checking out like how stuff sort of moves around in it. But yeah, now I'm seeing it's over on this other track. And then if you hear that, that's the keyboard coming in. So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is do some multi tracking stuff in sonar with the audio interface that I have. So I have a two input two output USB interface with age four. And so the school each friend you can take out you know, in the field and record anywhere with the batteries and stuff just done the SD card, we're just I've been doing a bunch of stuff. But you can also use it with the XLR inputs to do a left right input into the computer is like a two track to track piece. So yeah, that's kind of cool. You can just yeah, just had to put in and work out or you know, have it connected to a computer and then have it be the audio interface. I've also got this, this 25 key, m audio key 42 and gigwalk. Also some piano plugins, a warm pad or some of this of synth effect thing, right now trying to figure out some way to make like a cool soundboard or something like that be fun. It's probably just annoying in the background. But that's stuff that I have been working on in the studio thinking about mixers and arms control pads and stuff. But it's kind of fun stuff. So I've been checking out the ipfs network. I've been talking about it a few times before here on the podcast. But it stands for interplanetary file system. It's kind of a cool way of sort of creating a distributed hash table now around an hour. it's it's it's something where it's like a distributed network instead of having like a server system. So I've been trying to set that up. It's pretty complicated, but you can go to Siberia's and download a program called Orion. And that's like a browser that you can use to upload and then download, you know, send files back and forth over the ipfs network, which is pretty cool. It's kind of interesting. So I downloaded it on a couple of computers here at home. And I was trying to use this, this key to connect the two of the nodes together. So you could kind of create, like a direct connection in the network. And I was trying to do this with a couple other computers I had around the house to to do some stuff. But But yeah, the ipfs node is pretty interesting. I'm trying to put up some media stuff onto that over the last couple days. I've been using this site called D sounds got audio. And I'm trying to upload a bunch of mp3 files of my podcasts. And it's just kinda interesting to check it out. But yeah, it's it looks like a lot like SoundCloud or something when you use it. But instead of any of those files existing on a website's server, they exist distributed across the world, United States, I don't know how far it's really distributed yet. But those files are distributed on different computers. So it can be reproduced from from different areas of the network. It's interesting, I don't know, I'm kind of curious how it works out. I'm also using this video program, or video website called de dot tube, which I think is what it is. It's supposed to really just be like a YouTube clone. And it works pretty well. It's it's not, I think, the full resolution and flow that YouTube is, but really as it goes, it's it's quite far along for what you would think to do with it. I've also been checking outbid shoot, which is another sort of YouTube video competitor, but they do a lot more with ads and with paid content. And I think that the D tube stuff is it seems like a little more homegrown in some ways, when you look at the website, but but as I consider it, I think it's, you know, it's ad-free. It's crypto, decentralized, it's really it's interesting, like when you log in, you don't really even use your email address or anything like that. It's just, it's this cryptographic key that you log in with. And that's like your account data and if no one has it, so if you lose it, then it's gone. I think forever,

you know, So it's kind of cool, check it out, you can go to your page, you can go to upload media like you would on YouTube or so that it's a little slower though it seems like that's that's definitely something that I was noticing. I'm trying to make an upload right now. And it's going fine. But I think it's a little bit slower than maybe some of the other the other like YouTube or something like that if you're uploading a 10 NDP video, it'd be more robust as a service. This is definitely like something, some some piece of the internet that's being made by people like you and me. So it's, it's kind of cool that it works at all, really. But yeah, I think these, these D tube sites and the sounds, sights are going to be kind of interesting media players. And not players like, but just interesting kind of media side features that that I think are kind of interesting, as people are starting to maybe consider moving away from centralized services like Facebook, and Microsoft, and apple and Amazon, and all that. So yeah, it's gonna be Google. Yeah, YouTube, and Google and all that, but, but it's cool, try to check out the ipfs stuff. And get it connected, I was trying to upload some videos that I have on my YouTube page right now. And trying to download a bunch of YouTube videos. Also, like I watch the YouTube videos that I have, there's, there's a couple different fe

139 MAC UTILITIES

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Appreciate you guys tuning in to check this one out. I wanted to catch up on a couple of things that I've been working on recently, which is often what I'm talking about. But I've been putting together a couple of things during the last couple of weeks and kind of run across a couple of ideas related to photo stuff and media stuff, as is the usual. But a couple of things I wanted to talk about were some Mac apps today, I've been trying to sort of set up my mac book to be

is configured with a few more utilities and a few more pieces of software that make it a little more functional for me. So I want to try and talk about those a little bit today. But one of them was I stat menus, and it was this application that I'd heard about. Maybe over a year ago, I've been using it a lot when I was trying to render some 360 footage and a lot more like video footage. I was using a computer the whole day to do that. So this program is stat menus are good for adding in a bunch of information like a bunch of system information to your computer right at the top of the wizard bar at the top, you know, like the Apple menu and your time and your clock and stuff, right? If you get a lot of information about your disk space, network speeds, uploads and downloads, and CPU and GPU. It's pretty interesting, and I like to again check it out. And kind of when you have a bunch of graphs that sort of indicate when or how much how much of a system is going toward that task at that time. So right now I'm doing an upload to Amazon photos to try and get a backup of all my images up there. And I'm looking at the network monitoring. And so showing me like a history of my network upload speeds over the last 24 hours. And I see like there's a big dip before like 5am while I was running overnight, and then now it's back up like two maybe 3x what it was before. So it's an interesting kind of monitor, like how high your speeds are. And that sort of thing. When I was running, rendering video out, it was cool, because you can see like the temperature sensor sensors inside of the computer. And in addition to that, you can see the hard drive space that was left on each few drives, including your externals, and you can see how fast the CPU and GPU are working. So I've been using this app a lot for kind of the system process, monitoring stuff, it's cool, I've been enjoying it, it's kind of fun to, to get used to. In addition to that another one that I'm checking out is probably one that a lot of people have heard of before, but I think it's called magnet, magnet, I think and it sort of reproduces the functionality that you get, I think started back in Windows seven, where if you pull a window to the edge of the screen, it'll sort of snap to the edge of that side of the screen or oral snap to beast split-pane window. It's kinda interesting how it works. But I like I like how it works on Windows. And I have been sort of frustrated in the past that I don't have that kind of utility in the Mac OS system. So I you know, just windows are sort of built to kind of float all over each other. And I did kind of like that part of, of windows or even back in my experience of working windows, which is in a way I work with a computer now I have like seven windows up right now. The windows, I don't really always go to full screen application almost all the time. So it's kind of interesting, that workflows rate changes over time. What else am I working on? Oh, Amazon photos, that was another one that I guess I'm I'm kind of going through right now sort of lean into another side of it. But I've been using Amazon photos for a while and the Amazon drive system, I did have some backups or not even really backups for the photos backups of the photos, I suppose because it's the dngs. And it is the JPEG images, I think you can put video up there also. But that takes up paid storage space. So for photos that you can put as many photos on the cloud as you want with your prime membership. And I think I put like probably almost 100 gigs of photos up there. So it's cool, you do have access to all of your images in that library of images you have online, like I can pull it up on my phone in an app, and I can pull it up on the web and a few other places. So it just gives me an accessibility to my images I hadn't really had before to every image and that way at least that's kind of cool that you know, I do see that I have access to all of those photographs bigger than that I really need to go through and make more functional collections of smaller sections of that. So I have just a lot of the photos I would need to use set up in a high quality system that is more accessible to me that's still that's the little piece that isn't really quite as tight as I would like it within my photo business. But I've been you using Amazon photos to make a backup of everything, almost everything is already there. But it can incremental area like as you go, you need to get all the new stuff up there. So I'm trying to put up a bunch of the stuff that I've had for the last couple months when I haven't really been able to put a sync back up to the Amazon photos. cloud backup. The cool thing is though, is I'm trying to work with iCloud a little more in addition to that, and so I've been setting up the iCloud

put it in Finder. So I can access my iCloud data there in Finder from multiple computers and from my phone, which is cool. But on my phone in my files app, I was going in there and I put in. So I have like the Amazon drive application on my phone, I had my files application sort of show that I can go to my Amazon photos, files that are from my phone. So without even going to the Amazon photos application just from my files app, I can go through and b

Hey, what's going on? Thanks so much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. My name is Billy Newman, I'm coming to you today to talk about a couple of things that have been on my mind recently I've been, I've been kind of getting into some some different internet technology stuff. What was it talking about this last time, like some open source software and some of the Linux distribution stuff that I was interested in checking out, that's been going well, I've been checking out this Linux stuff, I've been checking out a few different few different open source media software packages that are out there. I talked about that a bit last time. But what that's kind of progressed into is what I can do with some of those media packages. So what I've been checking out is this thing called the ipfs, which is probably what I'll focus on for a bit today in this podcast, and then some of the ideas and the concepts that are around it, I'm really nascent in kind of researching it and discovering it. And so I hope it's something that sort of becomes a little bit more fruitful over time of, you know, something of interest that I'm able to learn about a bit more. But as a field of like web development or a field of media work that I might do, I think it's really interesting to start getting into the idea of the ipfs, which is the interplanetary file system, sensor interest or well, like, what does that mean interplanetary What is this about? This doesn't have to do with anything with me, I guess it's supposed to replace HTTP or an HTTPS. So the hypertext transport protocol that's used to deliver web pages over the internet is starting to be not starting to be replaced.

But there is a project in place called ipfs. The interplanetary file system that's supposed to kind of modify or change some of the aspects of the hypertext transport protocol, to be more decentralized is the big idea. So I think the idea was that if ever there was to be a string of satellites, or bases that were interplanetary, the system of networking that we have right now really wouldn't be effective for that, because we'd have big breaks in the chain, and there'd be big disintermediation of data that was able to get out. So it wouldn't be able to be based on the hub system that we have right now, where you would be a spoke out on the line, you'd contact the hub, and then that that would kind of feed back out to the other spokes on the line. This decentralized model is supposed to be I guess, more efficient where the connections are made on the periphery of the system instead of centralizing to the hub. So that means that then if there's a route of connected devices, it's supposed to remain connected. That's what we're talking about mesh networking, which is a little bit different than the network protocol system that they're talking about. I'm still pretty lost on how technically ipfs is enacted or used. But the way I do kind of understand it, well is similar to the the model that I explained a minute ago of kind of disintermediation, but there's also seems to be some kind of attachment to distributed hash tables, and the blockchain too.

So there's a blockchain stuff, there's like what we know about Bitcoin and sort of how people use cryptocurrencies. But a lot of this stuff with the ipfs house has to do with cryptography, or it's like setting up a, I don't, I don't even know the stages to explain it. But I think that's like how you're verifying your identity, when you're connecting to each other is through like a cryptographic system, or you know, like having a key, you have a key and you connect to a node or something like that. There's a, I think it started, you can go to like ipfs probably.org, or search ipfs. And you can find a lot of information about it, you can run it on your computer, that's I think how you'd have to start is there's different levels of complexity, I'll kind of start with the original one, which was installing it over terminal, either on your Mac computer, Linux computer, or you can install like a repository and probably run it on a Windows computer and some other way. I think I am working on installing it through terminal to run an ipfs node on my machine, which I guess means that sort of like BitTorrent, I would have a little bit of information of hash table on my computer and peers would connect to me to get that information. But it's also connecting to other information, other peers that are on the network. And this means that, I guess, I guess those packets of data are pulled from different sources. So that kind of assembles it,

apparently, it saves a lot of bandwidth. And it sort of makes it much more difficult for a file to be disappeared from the hub of the network because it's disintermediated. At the at the edges of the network. I don't know it's kind of interesting. So apparently, you can reassemble data, if parts of it start to go out. There's a whole bunch of different pieces to it. They're sort of interesting, but as I'm looking at, I'm looking at these daps these decentralized apps, which is what I know more about that. So what you do is you install ipfs it's running a node on your computer and then you have peers connecting to that node. We have a Little bit of data being transacted as you are part of the service of the network as you serve it to others. And as you interact with it to others, like appear on the network, really interesting stuff. I wish I knew more about higher level networking, so I could explain it better but, but how this is kind of working for me is, I've been trying to Well, I downloaded Orion, which is what I should say. So instead of running the whole ipfs system, within the command line, which is a little bit complicated, I'm interested in the command line stuff. And I want to get that going. I think that's the more native way to do it. But I'm not really set up to do that on my my working computer right now. And it's not going to be set up as a server. So I hav
