gldenwetgoose 21,535 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Without giving any real details - for obvious reasons - I’m just going through the process of becoming a volunteer for a national organisation in the uk. As part of that process I’ve been allocated an email address which as expected has a couple of digits after my name… I have to say it made me smile a lot: john.smith101@… 1 Link to post

Popular Post gldenwetgoose 21,535 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Around 15 years ago I started photographing professionally, in the sense of commercially and with an entirely professional outlook on the way I work (even though it has always been in parallel with a 'normal' mortgage paying job). During that time I've built a relationship with a range of clients, such that now post lockdown I've consciously chosen to close down most of the work except for the ones I really enjoy working with and get the most satisfaction from. An hour ago this afternoon I got an email from my biggest and best corporate client, hoping I still have an image and could provide a high resolution copy. Now it is rather a special image in that it was THE single image that caught their eye and opened the door to all the work I've done for them over the years. From their perspective it's one they use regularly because it illustrates their brand and relationship with two of their main suppliers perfectly. Only issue was, the image they asked for was one I photographed back in August 2011. Now, my online hard drives have every image I've photographed since 2014 and that's 137,247 individual pictures over the 10 years, and 3Tbytes of data. But nothing earlier... I'm smiling a lot now (and my heart rate has now dropped back to normal) after finding exactly the image on one of my off-line back up drives, right where it should be in the folders of 2010-2012 images. The system worked!!! Phew. 6 Link to post
Popular Post Kupar 13,388 Posted February 15 Popular Post Share Posted February 15 (edited) Discovering that the delightful young goth lady with lots of metal in her face who cut my hair today has a grandad who farms in a village near Beverley, and having a lovely conversation with her about Hull and the Yorkshire Wolds. Not at all expected. Most people near where I live now would struggle to point to Hull on a map. Edited February 15 by Kupar 1 4 Link to post
