I have never subscribed to a “clean” or “clear” desk policy; why put everything
away every evening when you just have to get it all out again?
Eri has what I would guess to be a classic Greek profile – very interesting!
I shall probably get a X-T30 with the small power zoom 15-45 for my travel
camera, although I still have a Lumix TZ100 for when I need smaller.
