The other day I was looking to see if there was an official Instagram client for Mac OS and then I tried to find Tinder for Mac OS and then I unsuccessfully concluded an attempt to find Flickr for Mac OS. Some of these websites are only accessible from Safari and don\u2019t have \u2018apps\u2019 for my Mac. Flickr for iOS is gorgeous and Flickr.com via Mac Safari is not. In most cases large companies have abandoned their web sites for their mobile apps. It\u2019s logical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care for mobile apps at least when I can help it. You\u2019ll still see me at cafes and on my deck using my MacBook to write, edit photos, blog, read news and both create &amp; consume content. Mobile phone \/ tablet computing is fantastic but I prefer desktop computing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m one of the very few (less than 1%?) of photographers who don\u2019t use iCloud Photos. I don\u2019t take photos with my iPhone unless I absolutely have to. Actually the only thing I use my iPhone camera for is Untappd (checking into beers I\u2019m drinking). For everything else, I use <a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2014\/03\/31\/photography-thoughts-on-olympus-om-d-e-m1\/\">my Olympus OM-D<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My OM-D and Aperture played very well together and I hope Photos for Mac OS X can replace it. I\u2019m happy to keep using Aperture and eventually, Photos but most of what Photos is promising us are features that I currently don\u2019t have a use for. The future is mobile phone photography though so I guess it\u2019s time to get on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via THE Loop: \u201cWith the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-14g","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4530,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/03\/24\/thoughts-on-photos-for-mac-and-icloud-photo-library\/","url_meta":{"origin":4108,"position":0},"title":"Thoughts on Photos for Mac and iCloud Photo Library","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"March 24, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I believe this product is only available as a Public Beta for which I am a tester.
