While I love my cameras ability to wirelessly transfer files onto my iPad or phone, so that I can use Snapseed to effortlessly and quickly process the images and get them to my social network feeds and photo forums —— that method and the ability to store so many files on large memory cards, does make me lazy when it comes to getting all of those files Imported and Organized in Lightroom and BackedUp on my hard drives.
Since coming home to Canada again for a visit, I was faced with the daunting task of moving 14,000 image files plus many videos taken over the last months - over to my hard drives through Lightroom and then viewing each file in my ‘Imported Files’ folder, and deciding which Category to drag them into.
Normally I do that each night and Format my cards for the next day.
That task took a few long days. Much of the time waiting as files were moved here and there. Meantime, I ended up looking at older images in the Category folders - going back to 2008 when I started these adventures of photographing Central American cultures - noticing different interesting shots that I have never processed and posted before.
Being that I am taking a little break from actually being out and about shooting, I selected a few for putting online. Even though it is totally irrelevant to fact that these are modern day digital images, I decided to process them differently (from my normal saturated, contrasty style) with a washed out colour film look reminiscent of prints my mother has from the 60’s.
