Raws, Jpegs, my wife's Lasagne and backing up!

This is the most mind numbing, spirit crushing, tedious part of being a photographer!

Eating my wife's Lasgane!

No! I mean backing up!

Seriously, whether it's film negatives or slides from a long time ago or today with all the digital file formats like jpegs, raws & tiffs - I personally (and I know I'm not the only one!) absolutely hate and I mean HATE filing images, titling images, sorting images into folders, indexing images and then finally backing the whole bloody lot onto DVD's, CD's and hard drives!

I hate this whole process with such a passion!

At least 2-3 days before I know I HAVE to do this I start to get sick!

I twitch, shiver and shake! My stomach starts burning acid! My eyes begin weeping in public places! Sometimes I have been know to develop rashes in a matter of minutes! My wife, her friends, our friends, even my friends - won't talk to me, the cat thinks I'm from outta' feckin' space and the neighbors close their doors as they see me approach down the corridor! And I won't even go into my bowel movements,...

Anyway, tomorrow night - is the night!

And I HAVE to do it!

You know what, after I actually get into it I do get a buzz as I start to remember all the photographs and how I liked taking them all in the first place. Good or bad. How they were all was shot. The compositions. The atmosphere - I could go on,...

The plan was to start the back-up earlier this evening, but I spent most of tonight trying to write this post and then watching "Three days of the Condor", and then, and then,...blah, blah ,bloody blah...

It's late so I'm off to bed!

By the way, the wife's Lasgane was outstanding!

Your first attempt was first class love!

Cheers!
