I do a little post every year of my favourite images and have done since 2009. Just before the end of the year my hard drive failed. I’d backed up every project I’d been commissioned to do, every family photo I’d taken, and every roll that had been developed. What I left to upload on a rainy day was everything I creatively did for fun; my lumens, my favourites, my scans, my garden, my sketchbooks.
Not all is lost but for now it’s an empty feeling. An empty canvas. It nudges me 1) upload/back up more and 2) start again. Sigh.
Don’t do what I did. Don’t wait for that rainy day.
