Picture Overload

So many pictures! Its not even funny. What does one do with 30,000 pictures taken over the course of 3.5 years. It is true that 20,000+ have been taken since April. And most should be deleted, but that task alone is so intimidating... if i go through 1 picture/second thats 3600 pics per hour, and a 6 hour effort. But I guess thats what Blizzards are for. When I was home, I copied all my photos onto on new library on the external drive.... and it took four hours. Bit I did at least make some progress on the deletion and organizing front. Which brings me to my next idea for the new year.

I'm thinking of starting a new blog, specifically for my photos but also for life in general (it gets hard to separate the two). Well, im not sure yet how to do it best. But it'll help sort out some pictures that never made it to facebook/flickr and it may come in handy during the new year and potential resolutions. So if you like or can suggest any titles let me know.


ideas so far:
JustPhotos
JustAPhoto
JustInPhotos
JustPhotography
JustInFocus
JustInPhocus
JustMezinAround

Or something more random
outside of my name completely.... Thoughts? (please)

Out with the old...

My last few days in DC I had made some plans with people and they all fell through. Yet, I still had some good times and good conversations with people that semi-inspired me. One thing that I also recognized, is that its pretty hard to go from a social situation of deep conversation, fun and real friendship. And walk into cobalt/town where things are more shallow and maybe even fake.

This year, Im going to focus on the former. Focus on things and people that I enjoy. That's part of the reason I stayed in NYC, to invest in family. And I think I had a real conversation with my youngest bro for the first time. In addition to thoughts on family, a lot has happened with a number of friendships, that have gotten deeper or at least inspired me.

So out with 2010 and welcome 2011! Hope this year will be even better an more memorable!
