Running and Passing.

Recently, I had the opportunity to do some documentary photography work in support of  The Right Brain Initiative (a RACC program). The images I captured will be used in organization’s annual report as well as their various social media outlets.

** Also, I have updated my portfolio to include my recently completed TARP(s) project and added a new section of photography featuring scenes/landscapes + people/portraits. **

Dan Saelinger reminds us why we should backup. Preferably off-site.

We should also remember Google’s study of hard drive failure trends and the fact that about half of all failures occur with no warning. S.M.A.R.T. is a good start and SSDs (Solid-state drives) are considerably less fragile than traditional hard disks, but in the end all devices will fail.  I have about a terabyte of data that I would hate to lose. From old school work to current assignments and projects, I try to keep everything reasonably managed and properly archived.

I have been using the Cobain Backup software, but have had past success with GFI backup. I recently switched to Cobain because it seems to offer a lower memory footprint and does no attempt to run as a service or hook itself into the OS.
