For the Record

My media filies are in disarray. That is to say, I'm generally know what my collection contains and I have a general idea where they are, but if I go looking for a specific image or video or film, I'd have to wade through a tidal pool of artifacts. I'm really not a slob. Over the years I've made a point to number and organize things as they were created. Somewhat. Time, however, agregates the tiny into the monumental.
Lossing interest or something else snares your passion for a time and things pile up. That was the condition of my collections last year about this same time. Since then, I've made some decisions about how and what to organize. All my color slides and those of my father and grandmother are now in slide pages in archivical boxes. I know that they are sequenced chronologically.

My methodolgy has been to work on one area and then move onto the next step. Lately I've began scanning many of the slides before I know where they are. Time of course is the enemy, too much of it and not enough of it.

The photoblog has brought order and focus to the entire project and to my life somewhat.
