Desk at Home
Desk at Home

At home I also have a desk with some things. This desk is used by my partner or I when we have to work from home, or if we want to do computer else on our laptops but we prefer to use a desk for it. I’m personally a desk person, and I much rather prefer having a desk than just using the laptop as-is.

  • Chair Zinn Smart, Ahrend Verta
  • Monitor Stand IKEA ELLOVEN, IKEA SIGFINN
  • Monitor Dell U2720Q, Dell U2723QE

📷 Photography

In the photography department, I currently own a Fuji X-T5. The pictures that come out of it are fantastic. However, it is a bit of a mess to edit Fuji RAWs due to the way they’re encoded. I’m using Capture One for that. Maybe I’ll write about it one day.

  • Camera Fujifilm X-T5
  • Lenses XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.0, XF 27mm F/2.8, XF 23mm F2.0 R WR
