Goodnight Flower

Columbine: White, Yellow, Burgundy, 4.14.14

I’m sorting through 2014 photos to delete the garbage and see if I find anything I really like that I didn’t notice before. (This shot is from today’s sorting work.) Frequently, in getting home from a walk, I download photos and have to race to start teaching and neglect to ever look at what I have. Silly, but true. Going through everything takes a great deal of time. I first click X on those I figure I’ll trash, but I then wait a week or so to make sure I’m certain there is no hope for them: sometimes I return and see something different. Still, one only needs one good shot of a flower and if I have, say, ten of the very same thing, there’s just no point in keeping them all. Funny how I feel guilty, though, deleting my “babies”. Call me crazy.

Time to Sort

I really need to go through the past three (yes, three!) years of photos. I’ve been somewhat (as in almost entirely) negligent about deleting the garbage and even worse about putting in keywords so I can find things when I want them. I’ve spent over an hour searching for something. Well, sort of. In truth I started the search and then became distracted by images I’d find. Some bring back great memories. Others I puzzle over because I can’t figure out what I saw in the shot.

Then there are some that cause me to stop, work on, and post. Like this dull little thing. 😉
