When Willie called Alan and I up and said “clouds look good, lets go shoot sunflowers” I immediately said “yes”. We hopped in the car, drove 45 minutes to a sunflower field, pulled over and looked around. No sunflowers! We were a few weeks too early. Lots of stalks but no yellow flowers. The sky still looked juicy and we didn’t want to give up and call it a quits so we raced to back to the Bay Area and made our way to Alviso.
With not much time before sunset we quickly ran out to the old wooden pylons next to the train tracks. I knew I wanted a reflection in the bay but the water was quite choppy. Luckily the “Lee Big Stopper” slowed the shutter down to about a minute and left the water looking glassy smooth. It pays to have a backup plan when things don’t always go your way :)

These are photos I take before ripping apart the build. The last ring is too weak and has to be swapped.

I'm nowhere near as diligent as I should be when it comes to backing up my digital photo files.
I'm not all that trusting of technology, but it seems to me I've had pretty good luck over the years.
About a year ago my main external drive started acting wonky. Folders taking forever to open. The files appearing even slower.
Right away I started copying over to a similar drive that hadn't seen as much use.
The entire ordeal was quite slow and painful.
The good thing is, I rescued everything before the other drive died.
So now I'm creating a recovery system that's easy enough for me to maintain from here on out.
I save everything. Card dumps as far back as 2005. Every photo I've processed and posted to all the various blogs and social media platforms over the years. Flickr included.
That's a lot ot stuff!
How conscientious are you about back-ups? Do you copy files manually? Are your back-ups automated? How often do you tackle them?
Setting up for a newborn session and broke out the Einsteins as a backup just in case the sun decided not to come out. The weather outside was fairly dark and gloomy and my available light was looking pretty lame prior to my session. So since my grandson Brody was hanging out with grandpa for the day I thought I'd pop off a couple of images to dial in the lighting before hand. The funny thing was that a couple of shots is all I got lol. He sat still for two images and then he was gone. Even with the messy hair and the dried up snot all over his check I still couldn't resit sharing this image of my precious little buddy.

“The Cadillac ‘V’ and Crest interpreted in Sapphires and Diamonds by Black, Starr & Gorham, Inc.” [Image caption]
The 1960 Cadillac featured a significantly different, more refined design compared to the previous year, including a full-width grille, lower tailfins with oval-shaped lamp nacelles enclosing the stacked taillights and backup lamps, increased restraint in chrome trim, and fender-mounted directional indicators. Technical differences included finned rear drums, a different parking brake mechanism, and a tubular X-frame. The standard 390-cubic-inch V8 engine produced 325 horsepower in both 1959 and 1960. The styling was considered a "smoothed-down" and more restrained sequel to the 1959 model's "extravagant" design, with a cleaner overall aesthetic.

“Beginning around the time of Cadillac’s golden anniversary in 1952, the division’s marketing department decided that including jewelry in their advertisements might help set the proper ‘upscale’ tone for selling GM’s top-of-the-line marque to the appropriate clientele. The jewelry replicated Cadillac’s V-shaped crest.” – Hemmings.com
