Pics and posts

Hey-look at me! Catching up!

Since I know that you are all on the edge of your seat regarding the status of my computer network, let me just give you a quick update-a new external hard-drive now lives on my desk, where all of my photos are now kept, safe and sound like they’re wrapped up in a black plastic blanket. So far, it functions perfectly (thanks Bretty!). Now, in order to get pics uploaded, there is little more that I need to do than sit down at my desk.

Sounds simple, right?

Except that I have no fewer than 1,127 pictures patiently waiting for me to review, delete, crop, color correct, straighten, choose and then, finally, post! This is gonna take a little time.

Ah-the importance of KEEPING UP. SO. MANY. UNSORTED. PICTURES. I have realized (maybe you have noticed this phenomenon in yourself?) that the knowledge of this backlog has translated into me taking fewer pictures. All those pictures, looming. Taking more pictures means more pictures on the already mountainous pile of unprocessed, unuploaded pictures, so why even take the camera?

Brett and Adam plan to conquer Hollywood, taken December 24th.

This attitude is, of course, unacceptable. So I am ready to slog through this picture-mire of my own making. And now that I have gotten all that whining out of my system, I am ready to declare Let the slogging begin!
