Victory is Mine
Nov. 18th, 2008 03:10 pmAt least as far as the computer is concerned.
The computer does NOT have a failing hard drive/motherboard.
I've killed the memory.
For those of you who know anything about pregnacy, the irony is not lost on me. Short term memory goes during pregnancy. And my computer suffers from...a lack of working memory. *sigh* Oh, the Universe, it has a sense of humor, oh yes it does.
New memory cards are on the way to me as we speak. I have a short term fix to apply tonight.

I would have posted it here, but I can not blog from flickr through my Blackberry, or so I have discovered. It is a botheration, but not horrible. Look for the uncropped painting, Fallen. I'll have a better version by tomorrow, if all goes well.
No surprise, all this activity has eaten my wordcount on NaNo, though I have bonded with the story a couple of times. I just need to sit down and do the work. I have a car to wreck and people to threaten as far as plot goes.
I also got a good chunk of work done on The Red Shoes, the next photo/chapbook before the computer died for the night. I had thought to interleave work, but have decided to just let things stand in sections. I think it'll flow well. This will also be my first experiment with doing a fully color book. If it comes out well, the next photo book, Suspended (tentative working title), will also be in full color, not just black and white.
Color costs more, but the look will be worth it. I'm also hoping it'll be about twice the size that Caryatid was, since I'll be able to include some of the older color work.
I'm also considering doing a separate book of just my travel/landscape/architectural photography. It'd cover London, Paris, (not Stuttgart), Milan, Nice, Tokyo, Hawaii, and of course, Florence. It has no name yet, but it'll come to me.
I'll be scanning images for the rest of my natural life to make that one happen, since only Florence was shot digitally. It'll be personally interesting to me, because the evolution of my "eye" has drastically changed since those days, not even counting my early, early work that's mostly of Monterey and Pacific Grove. What's funny to me is that I never bothered to shoot much of San Francisco, even though I lived there for 8 years. I think I felt it was oversaturated. Everyone shoots it. It's not like Tokyo, where everyone can shoot it and no one gets the same thing twice.
And that's enough for now, I'm sure.
