New Tumblr

Last month I started a new tumblr entitled 10 years ago today. The idea is to look at my digital archive each day, from 10 years ago. Pick a picture. Then upload one that still resonates with me. It was also 10 years ago that I bought a digital camera that had the potential to make large prints. I made several at a2 and a3 and one at over a meter on its longest edge from it.

Vale Harvey Benge [27 July 1944 – 7 October 2019]

Mr. Benge's blog screen grabbed on 14th of October 2019

Although I only knew of Mr Benge via the internet, his presence was warm acknowledged by all who spoke of him. I have added his blog to my links in the sidebar. He was a prolific photobook maker one of which I had the good fortune to purchase over the weekend. I have begun searching his other books too. Lensculture.com has an extensive listing of his projects. [edit 2019-11-11] MomentoPro also have an obituary for Harvey. Doug Spowart also has an obituary on Harvey.

Farewell Wordpress?

I am running out of storage pace on my wordpress account. This combined with watching many companies subsume others over the 25 years I have used the internet has me contemplating exit strategies all over the place.
My accounts with things like Dropbox, and Evernote are somewhat moot points but I'd like my legacy in pictures and some of the words I've written left in place in perpetuity. Blogger.com seems a likely candidate. I'd like to think that Google isn't going anywhere anytime soon. But nothing is permanent on the internet just look at Yahoo, now owned by a larger corporation. So with this I mind here is my new photography blog.
