Archiving...

Everyone does it, and everyone does it differently. Archiving images has changed drastically since digital has taken over the industry. I'm still unsure of how I will be archiving my images in the future. All I hope is that the system I use now will easily integrate into the futures systems. If you ever shot film how often did you throw out your negatives? Probably never. But storage is expensive and multiple back-ups cost you more money (valuable money that you could put towards lenses, lights, and travel) Digital storage is something I try to keep up to date with as often as possible. My favorite brand for storage devices is G-Technology. I first experienced them in NYC when I interned there 2 years ago. The photographer I worked for used G-tech drives for his archiving. I loved the drives (since I spent a lot of time archiving and editing) and since that I have bought several of my own.

Anyhow, not to go off on an advertising campaign or anything (just love the gear). The point of bring up archiving is because I do a lot of it. I'm constantly shooting therefore I'm constantly backing up and archiving. Yesterday while I was organizing (a constant up hill battle) I stumbled across some old ideas I messed around with for a little. The beauty of having everything backed up. These is a small series of images I took last year, and basically it's the result of locking myself in the studio with a bunch of fruit. (Food photography rocks because you can eat it afterwards!) Now, I'm not a "food photographer" but I am always trying to expand and gain knowledge to make myself a well rounded photographer.

Yes, this is me dabbling in photography, and fruit. Hope you enjoy, thanks again!
