Clock on the wall keeps ticking away….

Or some other lyric noting the passage of time……

Anyway, numerous people have been asking about the state of the Morocco photographs. Not that interest in my project bothers me, but I have to laugh at the utterly insane process I have ahead of me, one that escapes most non-photographers attention. I have to edit roughly 11,000 photos. Something like 200 gigabytes worth of data.

For those that may need a visual representation:

 
Choosing the best, then thinking they are crap, then re-choosing the same ones, with a few additions, and then realizing you still have too many photographs for a concise portfolio.  Oh the JOY!

Its certainly going to take a while; and that’s just the editing.  Don’t forget the digital development involved.  Tweaking each select photo’s colors, contrast, and sharpness.  Its a good think I have old reruns of Keen Eddie playing on my second monitor, helps keep me sane:)

I have begun the editing process, removing much of the junk, useless photos and other complete throwaways. Which, unfortunately, is more than I had hoped for.  So for now, the Lightroom catalog is set at 10,190 photos. 

My buddy Alan puts it best the other day over the phone:

J: “Its like thousands of photos, all at once.  I don’t even feel like opening Lightroom”
A: “Yeah, I get that; You gotta let ‘em sit for a while.  They’ll be there.”
Indeed.  
More Soon, 
Barduhn

walk away if you know what is good for you…..it would be a crime to take the moments that assaulted your senses, provoked deep thought and made you look within to a mundane, tedious task. Take time to reflect on why they mattered in the first place and what you learned about yourself. Some choose to flutter on the surface of living and others choose to explore the darkness of depth. You have always been a great swimmer-don’t float. Let it be…walk away, remember every moment and once you realize what those moments truly meant, then you may dive in. The items will be there for you to manipulate but the experience will slip away if you let it. Walk away if you know what is good for you……Love you! the 1st and arguably most important (haha) Kelly
