Full To The Blessed Brim

This image is from post-parade yesterday. It's a recreation of this image from a few years ago.

The bad news is that it's the only image from the day that I'll be able to contribute for a while. I have filled up all the hard disks in my house. Chock full, no way to delete enough to limp along for a few more months even. I couldn't even do any processing so this is straight out of the camera.

I'll be buying an external hard drive or two just as soon as possible. I'm thinking newegg probably, I've heard they have good deals. I just don't know how much space I should get. My photography class (I promise, more on that later) taught me that I really need to be shooting in RAW or I'm letting the camera make all my decisions for me and I'm smarter than the camera (I hope). RAW takes a lot, lot more space hence the immediate filling up. Sigh. I am anxious about this development...oh lord, you don't want to hear why any more than I want to say it again. It's about money and money scares the crap out of me almost as much as not having enough money, bleargh.

Here's a photo of my girl. She got a Nintendo DS from her mom for birthday today and I'm told that her flesh has already fused around the device. And here I thought 8 was the socks and underwear birthday. My how times have changed. I love her even if I can't believe she's 8. I vow to conquer my fear of money so I can share how much fun we had together.

Happy Birthday my dear! And many, many more!

    As far as external hard drives go, I keep all my RAW files on my ioSafe Solo. It's small and waterproof/fireproof, so you know your stuff's safe.

  2. I love that picture! I'm thinking about diving into the SLR bought yours used, right?

  3. Thank you for the info Jackie!

    Snob, I did buy mine used from B&H photo.
