Photographic Memory
I found this photo among my hundreds of thousands of photos. It was sitting with some other random stuff in a folder within another badly labeled folder. I think there are three different computer's worth of photos sitting on my RAID. It ain't pretty but they're safe. (And another 250 gigs arrived this evening).
About the image, the point is, it's fun to stumble upon a nice photo you've taken and to see it with fresh eyes. I remember taking this shot. I remember who and what it was for. I can hear the conversations and voices of that day. I remember setting up the light, a tota, in the hallway of a friend's apartment. I remember other photos we took that day with a cool 70's lamp. All that information and memory is connected with one little photo. It's mind-boggling, inspiring and humbling to think similar and equally dense memories are attached to all my photos.
My portfolio efforts continue and I think I've come to a reasonable solution to my website simplification issues. With any luck, those changes will upload before I head to New Orleans.
Take pictures and remember.

I have been thinking of you a lot these last few days as I am visiting New Zealand. I have been taking lots and lots of pictures and have taken more with the thought of how even the mundane can be so beautiful. I feel like I have viewed everything I see differently, simply because I have been influenced by your site....to look at everything, not just the obvious!!
Thank you!
Yes! Yes! Thank You! Spread the word.
