Found this old shot of Xziva on my harddrive, i have soooo many photo's of her :)
Since it's similar to the one i took last week i decided to put the 2 together.
Had to make the frame myself ! couldn't find one for 2 square photo's.
Today one of my contacts put a selfmade texture online , i really loved it so i used it.
Made it B&W and also used the original, blue, texture. Played around with it and i love the colour it has now.
You can see that Xziva grew in that skin around her neck and into her ears but she was , still is, so adorable :)
Texture used: Sara Winkler Texture 1,

The harddrive in my macbook decided to die on Saturday afternoon. Wasn't doing much -- had a few programs open and was in the process of checking out some books from the British Library. Tried to load up some bibliographic software, got the spinning beachball and most of the programs locked up. So, I did a hard reboot. After turning it back on, I received a grey screen with a blinking folder containing a question mark. Continue reading...
Digging around my harddrives and came across a few scans that I had wanted to upload some time ago...
This one was taken at Riz; our favourite restaurant in our neighbourhood (where we actually ate last night after shovelling lots of snow). This shot in particular I remember my Dad and I wanted to try the new all you can eat thai menu...and our eyes were much bigger than our stomach to say the least :P He always gets a Sleeman Cream Ale when we eat there as well.
Luckily my parent's are leaving the snow and cold weather behind and jet setting it to Florida today for some sun, golf and r&r. Jealous to say the least.
I love slide film so much when it scans nicely.
Gestern Abend gab das MacBook Pro seinen Geist auf. Erst sah es so aus, als wäre die Festplatte ins Nirvana gegangen, aber nach einiger Untersuchung sieht es nun so aus, als sei es ein größeres Problem. Die Danbos schauten auch mal ins Innere und meinten, es könnte an einem gebrochenen Kabel liegen. Aber ganz sicher sind sie sich auch nicht. Also rieten sie mir, doch zum nächsten Händler zu gehen und dort das Gerät durchchecken zu lassen. Okay, das sollte ich tatsächlich tun, da ich den Mac wirklich brauche.
Yesterday evening the MacBook Pro gave up its operational life. First it looked like the harddrive had crashed, but after some investigation it looks like there's a bigger problem. The Danbos took a look and thought a cable might be broken. But they are not sure. So they advised me I should bring it to the local retail store so they can check it. Okay, I really should do that as I really need that Mac.
This month’s camera club challenge was macro around the house. OK, let’s give this a go. I reverse mounted a Canon 70-210 Macro zoom lens to my Nikon D7100. Tethered it to my MBP and focused on the laptop with Sofortbild software for the Mac. I focus stacked and blended the images in an image editing program. After adding some tone and colour enhancements, volia! I just wonder why the FBI makes hard drives?
The current foundation
Of the western world
A current of dreams
In circuits whirled
Bits, bytes and code
Suddenly unfurled
An item of art
...and I hurled
This is not a RAID.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.

Enjoy!
The queue of last-generation hard drives waiting to be backed up. I should be able to fit them on to 2x 750GB drives.
In the Fall of 2020, I resolved to acquire a new PC, as my then-current one was 6 or 7 years old and running Windows 7, which was no more updated. I had to go to version 10, and such a big upgrade required new hardware.
As I usually do, I inquired left and right to find out what the best components would be for that new PC, and before I assembled them, I had fun taking pictures of some of them.
These two photos show the solid state “hard disks” I installed inside the case, in addition to three more traditional ones which I use for backup. Those Samsung drives are much faster, much more reliable as they contain no moving parts, and certainly a lot easier to install! :o))
Took these pictures quite a while ago but completely forgot about it in my harddrive.
Crayola crayons in a q-tip case. Useful recycling of box :)
Think Tank Streetwalker HardDrive, a very nice and practical photo bag when you start to have quite some gear you want to bring with you. My Lowe Pro Mini Trekker AW became to small for this setup.

Collection of Thinktank Photo Bags, they all serve me in different situation.
Starting form the very left THINKTANK STREET WALKER HARDDRIVE, the middle THINKTANK URBAN DISGUISE 50 V2.0, The very front is THINKTANK CHANGE UP V2.0.
The Streetwalker Harddrive is basically for situation where you need all your gears in. The UD50 V2.0 is for work travel, where I can selection 2-3 lens and a body. Somehow it does look like a working bag, no? The change up V2.0 is basically for somewhere near and only bring body with lens + landscape Filters, basically I'll call it my landscape bag.
For quite a long time (I first heard of it in 1992) I wanted a mirror lens but I found they were too expensive. I finally chose a Makinon 300 5.6 for 2 reasons. First although a 500 would have been great I have not much use. Second 5.6 is decent quantity of light and would results more versatile.
I made this celebration card as a first creation with it. Not as sharp as my 70-300L but for around 50€, this is wonderful. Love the dreamy result!

Depuis assez longtemps (j'en ai entendu parler en 1992), je voulais un objectif à miroir mais je les trouvaient trop chers. J'ai finalement choisi un Makinon 300 5.6 pour 2 raisons. Premièrement, bien que ce serait bien d'avoir un 500, je ne crois pas que j'en ferai grand usage. Deuxièmement, 5.6 est une ouverture correcte et sera plus passe-partout.
Pour commencer, j'ai crée cette carte de vœux. Ce n'est pas aussi net qu'avec le 70-300L mais pour environ 50€, c'est merveilleux. J'aime le rendu de rêve !

Desde bastante tiempo (Oi hablar en 1992), quiero tener una lente de espejo pero les encontraba demasiadas caras. Al final elegí una Makinon 300 5.6 para 2 razones. Primero, aunque sería bien tener una 500 no estoy seguro que la usuaria mucho. Segundo, 5.6 es un apertura decente lo que le da más utilidad.
Para empezar, cree esta tarjeta de felicitaciones. No es tan nitida como el 70-300L pero para unos 50€ es maravilloso. ¡Me encanta que quede como de sueño!

For our photo club's December "Black and White" theme.
I've been meaning to fiddle with this old, ooooooold hard drive for macro work for awhile. For a more interesting backdrop, I chose the funky record player cover I purchased at a White Stripes show a long time ago.
...I still don't own a record player.
My step-daughter gave me a couple of old hard drives to dispose of, so I figured I'd take a few macros before I get out the sledgehammer... :)
The harddrive of my computer gave up on his poor existence on this planet. Unfortunately I have been a bit lazy on backups. I have all my photo files except those from last saturday (i.e. the last 14 I uploaded) for the others I am afraid that I dont have the raw settings that were stored in the lightroom database. I am not sure but I think for the dng files (I started converting to dng about a month ago) the settings are actually stored in the file itself. I am really mad at myself for not being more rigorous in backups. But probably you have to loose something valuable to learn.
This image was taken with a self-constructed beautydish (camera right slightly above the eyeline) and only some slight edits were made on a jpg file in an oldish version of lightroom on my laptop.
Also, I need a haircut...

Going over some old pictures on hidden harddrives. I guess we all know how that is (!) ;o)
This photo was taken by Jill Myers on 18/7/18 12:50:59 pm at Summerlands Australia

It was taken and lying idle in harddrive since 24th august. We had a photo
walk with PPG members and Michael Foley on streets of Old Lahore. On the way
back I and Farid took these shots. With a panorama in mind.
3 shots stitched. Sky was washed out. Selected it and made a sky blue
gradient fill. Tweaked it a little in photoshop.
For you Abbrar bhai the motivator....
The best way to prevent a head crash is to scrub your hard disk platters with a fluffy white cloth regularly. Remember that, kids.
FLICKR I MISS YOU.
I have a bunch of pictures folders on my harddrive waiting to be edited. From a couple Midwest ones that have been half finished for months to a couple shoots I did with people at my castle to travel photos to self portraits to gahhhhh so much.
But. I needed to update, so hey. I'm currently in Ohio on break before I return to Boston for school this Spring. As of 8 days ago, I no longer in a Castle, which is understandably lame. I left a couple pieces of me in Europe, as I usually do everywhere. But I was mostly excited to return home and eat slash sleep my emotions away.
I'm looking into selling exclusive TRAVEL PRINTS SETS (Paris, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, etc). so if you're into that kind of stuff for your photo walls at home or at school, 'like' my Facebook page for updates. I'll be working on that this week along with everything else.
Also, I'm finally finalizing a photoblog on Tumblr for all of those Flickrbugs turned Tumblrites. Stay tuned! :)
The first hard drive that I ever saw for a personal computer was 5 megabytes, about the size of a stack or 3 or 4 modern laptops, and cost $2,000. Now, for less than $10 you can get a solid-state Flash drive that holds 1000 times as much data and you carry it on your keychain. Now THAT'S a revolution!
Found this on the harddrive by coincidence.
A photo for the "can of worms" album, for sure.
"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear."
Damn.
To paraphrase the commercial.
160GB hard drive $160.
1GB new DDR memory $120
Shop time and labour $69
Having this all be neccesary because the original harddrive had a complete, and apparently unpreventable meltdown. Just one of those things.
Losing everything on the drive, including 7200 pictures because they weren't backed up. Sheer bloody stupidity.
These pictures made the local paper this morning, so at least I have them. I'd been organizing my shots into folders to back them up, but hadn't got around to doing it. This was a mechanical failure, no virus or idiocy on my part. They can happen to anyone at any time for no reason. There's probably a lesson here somewhere, but I'm too distraught to figure it out. If you can, it might be worth heeding. Would those of you with whom I exchange e-mails please e-mail me a blank note, so I can add you to my spiffy new, but empty, address book. I mean EVERYTHING is gone.
On the bright side, I have a lightning fast computer which should last for a few more years, and all kinds of space to store pictures on. It'll take me ages to fill it up before I have to worry about back up.
Going through my external harddrive and found some usable images here and there :) This one is from november 2012, shot with a 70-200mm f2.8.

A Linksys NSLU2 network-attached storage device, with a 320Gb Seagate USB hard drive attached. The 'slug' (as the NSLU2 is affectionately known amongst hobbyists) has the 'Unslung' alternative firmware loaded, which allows for additional software to be installed. It now acts as our intranet and e-mail server, and I'm working on a few other applications for it - not bad for a machine the height of a Coke can...
(Update (2007/01/06): I've now moved 'ayeka' to the rack next to the trolley where this photo was taken, and added a Pertelian USB LCD display for system stats, etc. See other 'nslu2'-tagged photos in my photoset for views of the new setup.)
(Update: (2011/01/22): The "slug" has now been replaced by a Synology DS110j NAS device - see this photo for the new setup. In fact, the PC next to the "slug" in this photo is now out of action too - all change...)
