About Me

Your first question probably is, “Who is this Nate guy?” I’m a husband, father, system administrator, photographer, and general DIYer. If I can do a task myself, my first inclination is to fire up the trusty Internet and ask if anyone else has figured out how to do that thing. As I continued to problem-solve my own challenges this way, I realized there were opportunities for clarity and questions that weren’t being answered. Tools and processes were SO difficult to track down. Hence, I embarked on another role in my life: to create content not just for myself, but for a growing community of people I discovered were facing similar frustrations. I wanted to give hope to others working a day job and raising a family, which are tremendous blessings, but seeking something more to accomplish.

    Hi Nate

    just wanted to reach out to let you know I have added links to your account as part of a video I have put together to bring together a source for promoting content and tutorial makers in FOSS to raise the level of awareness of the true power of open source to use in their everyday life as artists and in general day to day!

    I am trying to do this locally and providing the FOSS on thumb drives, give advice, create presentations and advocate for people to use FOSS and the benefits of doing such.

    Feel free to have a look, there are links and credits accordingly to promote your youtube, I hope all is well and maybe we can expand all this and create more input to the conversation and further those creators of the software to be able to work full time on their software with support which in turns benefits all of us using them.

    This is my link to the video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UGq3pSOqw4&t=23s

    Best wishes
    Gary

      Hi Gary! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and including my content in your video! I think the collection of FOSS in the video is fantastic and (if you have no objection, I'd like to include it on my "Creator Toolbox" (https://Photolearningism.com) as a great resource to point out the different open source technologies~

The Danger in Hustling

PROGRESS As a somewhat new #contentcreator, I know that I'm still learning the platforms and tools. I don't understand all the algorithms and am admittedly not a terrific networker. However, I have survived my first year, showing consistent audience growth. I couldn't be more proud of my #YouTube channel that is coming into focus and the faithful audience that has joined in my interest of art technologies, helping me cultivate a community of learning. Thank you everyone! THE DANGER I've found a few reliable sources of guidance I've come to trust, but don't necessary agree with 100%. This is not a bad thing, as we'd never challenge our potential and never come to better understanding if all our relationships were based "yes" and "I agree." Questions prompt deeper understanding and force us to solidify our positions. This aside, there is a growing trend of advice that I see in #contentcreators that scares me, and I believe poses a ...

RAW Images and Paint.NET

TOOLS I've been making good use of the Paint.NET tool for basic photo work and felt like it was time to give it a plug. It is a well made, FREE, open-source tool, and has served me well for the past year. It also has a healthy following of users who create plugins. If interested, download from here -  https://www.getpaint.net/download.html  RAW IMAGE EDITING After a ton of reading, experimentation, and testing ideas from the Paint.Net community, I found a combination of dlls and add-ons that allow editing of Nikon RAW images! Please note that I did not create these solutions and am not responsible for any adverse effects of using them (use them at your own risk), but I've found this combination to consistently work with NEF pictures (Nikon RAW images taken on a D5300). I've created a share of the needed files (which is a compilation of different solutions from multiple Paint.Net forum users). Do give them credit for their work! Download these to the "FileTyp...

Where to Find Content Creator Tools and Resources

How to Start The beginning is a bit bumpy when taking first steps into content creation. For me, I knew I wanted to create and had some experience telling stories through video as a wedding videographer, but had no idea what equipment to use or what software to try. It was incredibly intimidating to start from square one without knowing how to create. The one thing I knew, is that I wanted to build a community of learning, to help people start and enhance their own content creator journey by making plain the tools of the trade. That's my reason for doing what I do. Have a reason, otherwise you'll quickly discover that you'll be wandering without a mission to achieve with your content. Still, I had no idea which tools Where is the Audience? Believe it or not, the answer is simple but can be a hard truth to swallow early in the process. They are waiting for you to attract them. Focus on speaking and delivery - Worry later about gear. An audience will follow someone on a genui...
