A Daunting Task..
After years of neglect, I've decided to update and consolidate my 98k image file. Yikes!
Here's the process..
- Transfer 2 files each equalling a half dozen terabytes from an old G5 to new hard drives. Sounds easy right? I went out and got a big hard drive to do the job, plugged it in, and the 'old' G5 wouldn't recognize it. Called my computer tech Tim Hannon, who supplied me with the right drive for the job.
Two weeks later (a time issue), both files were transfered to his drive then mine.
- Next up, researching Peter Krogh's DAM book for a plan in breaking down the mutliples of old files and current files on my laptop and additonal hard drives and building one cohesive archive. Yikes again. Then start a new catalog in Lightroom, make backup hard drives, etc.
- When that's done, it's time to dig into my 15 years of film archives to do a tight edit to make scans for stock and portfolio images. That's 35mm, 2 1/4, 6x7 and 4x5 transparencies dating to 1991.
Wish me luck!

Family Fun Magazine Shoot, 2007
These two are from a Family Fun Magazine shoot of Snoqualmie Pass near Seattle in 2007. I followed a family on their summer vacation around the area for several days to all the sights.

"Body Parts" a cross processed fine art series from 2001
Around 2001ish, I was experimenting with cross processing chrome film. This image is from a series called Body Parts that was Agfa negative film processed in reversal chemistry, a popular thing to do at the time. Confusing to shoot, everything is opposite - shadows are highlights and vice versa. I was going for an x-ray look. The series was taken by Getty for stock and I had a show or two but it seemed for the most part too 'out there' for most galleries and such. Or maybe it was the odd name. :)
I still have a few framed prints from the series if interested. 20"x24" Fujichrome prints.

Screen Shot - Chicago Art Institute
A bit short on patience, I get bored in even the most famous art museums. Instead I use the time to look for other perspectives, whether it's visitors crowding a famous piece of art or in this case an interesting view of the Chicago skyline from the Art Institute. Behind me was a clay version of an old growth tree stump. Prefering the real thing as interesting enough, this window view instead caught my attention.
