More Images!

Change is good! That’s one of my favorite maxims. And it looks as if we will see some weather changes soon. “1 to 3 feet of snow are possible at the highest elevations through Friday. Rainfall amounts in the valley are expected to be around one to two inches by Friday.

It sounds like I need to get busy working on replenishing the woodpile. Not my favorite thing to do. But at least I have plenty of olive wood available for my use.

And now this…It seems as if digital photos are going to be a big part of my life for the foreseeable future. We’re putting together a slide show for the church to use at different public functions. A slide show that will attempt to show the role of the church in the community. Luckily, I have a large collection of images ready to use; all I have to do is find the right ones. And that’s the big problem. I have created folders, lots of folders, for the thousands of images I have, but I’m not that good at putting the images in the correct folder. I have a good start on the sorting, but I can already see that I will have hours more!

Yesterday, I started looking for photos of Orland, using PicSearch. On one of the sites I found this, Wandering Lizard?, a site with images only…or very little text. If you weren’t familiar with the area, the photos would be meaningless. But since the photos were of such exceptional quality, I had to find out more about the author. After seeing the previews, it’s obvious that I need to view all of the links. (Wow! There’s a lot here. Links everywhere!) This is the kind of photography I wish I were able to create…

I just did some more research on the photographer and the site…3,500 pages! I think I’m going to be busy looking at this work for awhile.
