You may know that I'm into photography. I have a nice digital SLR. Two lenses, tripod, a couple of filters. Heck, I even enrolled in a mail based distance learning photography course.
Photography, is a way for me to balance my life. Don't get me wrong, I love programming, and the opposite of programming is photography. The language minded of you would protest that vehemently I know. Here's how I see it however, in programming we create things, software. We stay inside all day, not getting the sun on our skin. The sun is bad, it makes the screen harder to see. Photography is the opposite, it's more about capturing than creating. I like to do it outside, where the sun shines. So you see, it balances things out.
It's not that I don't like my computer. It's my favourite lifeless object in the world :D. Life needs balance and this is it.
Anyway, back to the story. Yesterday I moved all my pictures to DVD's. It took 4 DVD's to save 1 year of pictures. That's quite a number of pictures, 5000 pictures in all. 5000. Now that storage is no problem. My next quest will be to categorize them. All 5000 of them. I'm also using picasa
(
) as my photo album, it's a pretty good software, which lets you organize as well as do basic editing on your pictures.
Some of the pictures I've taken can be seen at:
I've also been using a film SLR these last few days. i took 36 pictures before realizing, that I didn't insert the film properly into the roller. Therefore, the first frame of the film was exposed 36 times.... :(
