I was cleaning up my computer desktop and started going through the motions of organizing my photos. After a day of random related shooting I’ll usually just dump the files off my CF card and leave them in a folder on the desktop called “CF CARD STUFF”. When I have time I’ll then go back and start naming and deleting all the junkie out of focus stuff and then start moving things to my external hard drive. I’ll usually find things like this cool photo (shown) I took at my cousins engagement party/wedding shower in 2007. The kid is really saying “What the F(*)CK are you looking at?” He just doesn’t know it yet. Finding old photos reminds me of things, the day, the people, the fun. Photos are lasting memories and I think it’s one of the reasons why I shoot so much. I constantly remind myself of the importance of photos as they document life, change and emotions. I think my family is just used to me photographing them now, although when I first started really using my camera, they were kinda hesitant. I got a lot of the “Oh, Hey, Watch-out! Wat’cha doin? Hold up man! What the Hell?!” It’s almost like the camera isn’t there anymore, hell, I think they secretly like the fact that I photograph them so much. I have tons of photos and this is just one of the ones that reminds me of why I do it. I think 10 years from now will be a good time for me to share with everyone all the photos they’ve never seen.
Anyways, it wasn’t until this last backup that I noticed my 500GB drive was now down to having only 4GB left. WTF!? That’s the size of one of my CF Cards. I guess it’s just a reminder that I need to burn stuff off onto DVDs. I don’t want to go through all the same crap I did trying to recover everything when my 750GB HD crashed (read here). So the bottom line is…I NEED SPACE.
Later,
