Photographically, I’m not starting out the new year on the
right foot - or should I say the left foot. I broke my leg in September and am
still recovering. after a second surgery to remove two pins in my lower leg
set me back a couple of weeks, it is healing nicely. I’m walking in a boot, and using a walker, but I expect to be out of the boot and back on both feet
again by the end of this month.
The real downside to all of this is that I have not been
able to go out and shoot photos, and it’s been driving me crazy! After four and
a half months of smoke from forest fires we had a most beautiful Autumn and it
just killed me not to be able to take advantage of the great weather. I can
only take so many photos from my front porch…
I did however, get a ton of work done on the computer. For some time now I’ve been wanting to scan
all of my slides into digital images, - seven, three inch, three ring binders,
overflowing with slides. I figured it would take me weeks - maybe months to get
them all done. I had them completed in five days. Amazing how much you can get
done when you have all day to devote to a project.
On top of that, the week before I broke my leg I had
purchased a 4 terabyte external hard drive, and spent countless hours editing
all of my photos and transferring them to the new drive, and deleted everything
that was unusable. Note to self: be sure and edit all of your photos before
you send them to the external hard drive!
