Thanks.... it's good to be back...
The last year has been rather insane for me workwise... and I've been reading a few digests here or there... but scattered at that...
Anyhow... Last November started with a 5 week photo trip to Singapore, Indonesia, Ghana, Burkina Faso and India.... (and what seemed like every airport in-between) Somewhere around 10,000 digital photos... (with a 5D) I would have taken more had I not literally spent half of the time traveling... I know I traveled at least 45,000 major airline miles.. not sure on the minor airline ones... and way way way too many hours in cars, trucks and beat-up vans... (over 40 hours just during 7 days in India). I still have not gone through and finished converting and cataloging all of that the photos from that trip.
Nothing more painful than sitting in a van watching the light disappear and the
great photos going by... BTW I did meet photographer Steve McCurry in the New
Dehli airport.
And then it was working on a book project for HCJB's 75th anniversary... digging through photo archives, selecting / editing... scans... retouching and restoring images in terrible condition... captions and layouts... writing and editing text.... It is going to the designer this next week...
Oh and lately.... designing and creating a small "museum" about HCJB's history
here in Quito.
So.... I'm never bored....
But.... I'd much rather be out taking photos... : )
