Just finished my first computer build which I have named "Land of the Ryzen Sun" the inspired by my favorite travel destination Kyoto where traditional and modern Japan collide.
The computer will mostly be used for video and photo editing. Everything worked well from beginning to end of the build process. The BeQuiet! 500dx computer case had plenty of space to work in and has a very clean minimalist look to it.
List of Parts:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor
Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU Cooler
MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard
Team T-FORCE DARK Z 32 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate FireCuda 520 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Zotac GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB GAMING Video Card
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 550 W ATX Power Supply
Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap 54.97 CFM 120 mm Fan
Future plans:
I would like to upgrade to one of the newer graphics cards that just came out. I ended up reusing a Zotac 1660 from my previous computer to test and see if it would run better with a better processor since Adobe Premiere tends to be CPU hungry (my previous processor was an I7-7700 with 32gb of ram). Even though it does run noticeable smoother with the Ryzen 9 3900x, it's still not where I want it to be once I start color grading 4K footage. Lastly I would like to add another nvme drive and a modular power supply to clean up the wires on the backside.
Our neighbor's crape myrtle tree is beginning to blossom. Unfortunately the white crape myrtle that my wife and I have has yet to blossom this season.
On New Year's Day we celebrate new beginnings...but time continues to march on regardless of our plans.

Our daily challenge.
Beginning 2nd October. The beginning of my journey home!

The beginning of my first bobbin of "Macaw" merino from The Arts At Eagle's Find.
This wool is super bright. I love it. I'm hoping to finally, finally, FINALLY manage a 3 ply fingering weight. I keep on way undershooting or overshooting it.

The note in the picture was written by Hal's sister, Elizabeth so she could hold it up the window of the office where her father was holding a meeting. They (and we) had been waiting for this news for a long time!
The cherry blossom is particularly important in Japanese culture.
It represents the end of the winter and the beginning of new life and growing season of Spring.Cherry blossoms last only for a few days, a week at the most. So, it is very difficult to collect honey from Cherry blossoms.The reason why Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Honey is very special.
I struggled with cropping this, because I did the edit on the whole pic, and loved some of the water effects that came out, but the lily pads were so bright that it really detracted from the overall look, so I put the emphasis back on the lotus, where it belonged.
A decorator once told me that you can't make everything in a room stand out and look beautiful, because then the special things no longer are focal points. I watched as she pickied the less pretty of two fabrics, because she wanted the chair it was going on to just fade into the background. It's a lesson I find comes in handy with photography, as well.
One of the only new buds in the pond, this flower was just beginning as most of the others were ending their life cycles. It almost seems to be bowing out of respect. Soon, it too would be going back into the pond from whence it came.
The bible says that a man's end is better than his beginning, and the day of death better than the day of birth. We've all heard it said that you can't take it with you. Well, that's not entirely true. We can't take THINGS with us, but we go out of this realm with a profoundly deeper life experience than what we had coming in, and hopefully, we have grown beautiful, and strong of character. Those things remain intact as we go to meet our Maker. Those things with which we end mean much more to Him than what we came into the world with, which was only what He gave us to start with. It's what we do with it that makes us who we are and shows our worth.
I wish I could have gone back and photographed this same bud as it opened and became a magnificent flower. Even nature itself displays the unfolding of the truth. This bud is pretty, but before it died, the water lily that burst forth would have been so much more lovely, so much more glorious, and so much more brave, that it would die at the height of its glory, and return to where it came from as others of its kind had done and will continue to do, becoming part of the future of life itself. Are we not more precious to God than a flower?
So I have decided to take up the 365 Project as both a hobby and to improve my creativity and become a better Photographer. I was mainly inspired by Alex Stroddard. His photos are simply amazing and beautiful.
This was taken at the corner of my room and every element in this Photograph was intentional, including the edit, in order to portray what I had in mind about the 365 Project(hint). This is also my first time using a flash.
Use your imagination to try to understand my message.
The Watch was intended to show the time 12:00 but it moved a bit, and the date is set at 1.
Everyone's opinions and comments will be really appreciated, I would like to get to know a few other 365'ers! Wish me luck!
