life as a dog…

I finished reorganizing the new photo pages by location instead of by date.  But now I’ve decided to go further with it.

As of right now, I’ve got my “raws” on the mobycat domain and if you click the “portfolio” link, it takes you to flickr.  But flickr really isn’t what I would call the best photos… at least not anymore.  I’ve started the whole series of pictures of businesses that are no more and I would hardly consider that quality photos.

I’m going back over all my photos (yes, ALL of them) and rework them.  First thing, I need to edit the EXIF data for some of them – since they were scanned, they show a creation date of around 2007.  Second thing is that they will be larger.  Currently, I put my photos up at approximately 600×400.  I’m going to change that to 1000×667, or thereabouts.  Also, I am going to try and clean them up a bit – which will take a while for the non-digital scanned photos.  Cleaning up dust in Photoshop may be the biggest time suck.  I also have Lightroom, so that should help some on the exposure side of things.  I will say that, for the most part, I don’t intend on over-processing photos.

So this may take a while…there are a LOT of photos to go through.  I’ve got all my photos on my hard drive divided into three sections – digital, negatives, slides.  The negatives and slides end right around January of 2005.  That’s when I bought my D100.  I can see where it will take that long to go through those…there are far fewer than the digital folder.
