Free Spirit
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.
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.
With my new camera, I am considering this all to be a clean slate. Way overdue.

Photography misadventures
“Anyone can take pictures. What’s difficult is thinking about them, organizing them, and trying to use them in some way so that some meaning can be constructed out of them. That’s really where the work of the artist begins.”

Just like my Groundhog Day resolutions, I need photography goals. I
know that I shoot from the hip but a part of me needs more as well. The
following goals are in no order other than what is in my head.
Finish this website. Streamline it and make it professional again.
Organize, once and for all, the Archives.
Shoot more film. My Holga is collecting dust and I am neglecting her.
Re-define who I am as a person and then translate this to my photography
What is the purpose of my photography? I’ve asked and received mixed results.
Add emotional impact to my work.
