That is the amount of photos discovered in the archives I am sorted and am backing up. This is most of it so far but I just discovered others from other hard drives. To say nothing about the images from 2013-2018.
Estimated time to completion is 11.5 hours to transfer 236 GB. It is 1:41am.
Time to get serious and disciplined regarding digital asset management (DAM). As I type, I am transferring files off of the various external hard drives to a master file on my computer. Then I will use Lightroom to remove the duplicates, sort the wheat from the chaff, sort by year/month, geotag, keyword and then maintain this archive. After this I will upload to my photo hosts. On backup drives, Flickr and Smugmug. Speaking of..I’ve redirected my Photo Denbow web domain to Smugmug. (above)
With my new camera, I am considering this all to be a clean slate. Way overdue.
My very first digital photograph back in November 2001.
When I was away at college I borrowed my father’s Olympus C2100. I loved the zoom and bokeh it produced. This had helped solidify my photography enthusiasm.
I discovered this when sorting through the archives and organizing the digital assets (DAM). Yeah, it’s simple, but we all start somewhere.
Found a photo from 2010 of my young photographer with her newly inherited Olympus. Also testing out the new logo watermark.

I have been asked to host and sponsor the local Houston chapter of the Drink and Click™ organization. The premise is simple- We meet at a bar to have a drink, talk about Photography/Social Media, laugh and have fun together. Then we move to another bar, take pictures in between… and repeat until the night is over!
We welcome any level of photographers with any type of gear. We might be able to teach you something or we might be learning something from you.
Drinking alcohol is not required or endorsed! Even if you only want to drink nonalcoholic drinks, we welcome you to come on our photowalks and have fun with us!
**UPDATE**
Due to remote micro management and licensing issues, I have decided to back away from this. In fact, while this organization has spread globally, it has yet to have a Houston presence. – CD 09/2024.
DVD enjoyed her first professional sports game at Compass stadium. The Houston Dynamo tied the Portland Timbers 1-1.
Google updated their stock camera app. Basically they took the best parts of my Nexus 5 camera app and enhanced it.
Added a smart blur for greater depth of field, horizontal panoramas, 50MB photospheres, manual adjustments (like a DSLR) and more. Neat!
