I spent some time transferring photographs onto an external hard-drive and backing that up onto another. I’ve got so many photographs its ridiculous. I’ve got some major sorting to do. What a daunting thought.
I have purchased quite a few magazines such as Australian Photography and Digital Camera World. Not only are they handy to pick up and read whilst having breakfast or a coffee break but they look good on the coffee table as well.
I do very little editing as I’m still learning my way around Photoshop Elements 12 but hope to find some spare time soon to put all this information I have gathered to practice.
Here are a few photographs that caught my eye when I was transferring them.

Every so often I go through my photos and I find one that I think “Wow. I forgot I took that.” lol
Lovely images you’ve found there.

Thanks Suz, I know what you mean. I’ve got whole files/photo shoots that I forgot I went on. How can I not remember spending an entire day (or 2) taking 400 – 800 shots of one subject?

I think because our lives are so busy and full that these things are easily overlooked on our hard drives.

I delete only images that are unusable – focus errors or exposure problems that I can’t handle. I am beginning to find uses for some unremarkable images going back three or four decades. In fact, I am still going through old transparencies and negatives and scanning and logging them.

Thanks Keith. I like your thinking and will follow your lead. I’m breaking out in a sweat just thinking about all that logging.

It’s crazy about the nuber of photos we seem to get. I accumulated more last month than I did in the first thirty years of my life! I’m sure you chose the right ones to keep.

Thanks Frances. It’s a bit like throwing out the kids baby clothes…. I want to keep them all :-). Perhaps I will keep them and then put them in my will. One of the lucky inheritors will get a luck dip.. If I become a famous photographer they hit the jackpot. If I don’t that’s their bad luck 🙂
