Checking where my data are :)
I needed to open and see such an endangerd hard drive before they get fully replaced by SSDs. Fascinating mechanical precision and cleanliness in these devices.
The storage layer is highly reflective, the writing "Data" comes from the reflected light from a papersheet that I had placed above.
Phew, finally, a spring photo without that glaring light green of young leaves! I have to admit that I was getting a bit bored with that particular flavor of green.
This one's a welcome alternative for me.
Update: ok, after going back a few photos from last week, I have to admit that there aren't so many examples of green explosions. But I can assure you that I still have many shots from that one graveyard visit on my harddisk and those where the ones I meant.

I am back! Had a great 6 days in Tokyo and Karuizawa. I probably need to buy a new harddisk before I can download all the pictures from my camera! Lucky that I still have one or two images on stock!
I hope all of you are well, and I promise I will visit your stream soon!

This is an old pic of me when we were in New York.
My harddisk died on me yesterday. Dont think I ll be uploading anything for the time being. Some of my pics werent backed up... Well at least I have my film shots in hardcopy.
Found on a 2010 harddisk today. Looked totally underexposed, almost black. Way past the blue hour... But with Camera RAW it was possible to retrieve these colours.
120.000+ px wide!
Aquí empieza o termina todo: nuestro trabajo, nuestras agendas, nuestros recuerdos...parte de nuestras vidas en ceros y unos.
Resulta curioso plantearse esto al verlo desprotegido de sus corazas, brillante, frio y aséptico...
My friends Shabir Patel and Mohd Patel who own a production studio "Samson" has a wall in their studio where all these storage media hold pride of place.
I loved the way they were placed and the way these two brothers had treasured all this from almost past 3 decades.
I just thought to capture it and took them all out from that special wall to a nearby beach and shot this picture.
Now apart from that wall, all these medias holds a special place in my photostream.
I hope you will all like it.
Here I present "Storage media" over the past 3 decades.
We capture moments to remember
Capture them to share
Capture them to store away
To recall another day
We use more and more devices
To capture moments aplenty but forget
Memories are not written on hard disks
Memories are written in our hearts

The electromagnetic read-write head and copper "voice coil" of an old hard disk drive. These days a smartphone has more disk space!

sollutions :
1. organize my stuffs in my bag! hehehe

I feel like autumn leaves - suspended....
Some days, I am suspended in glorious happy red Indian summer light
Others, in misty, moody, sad and slightly humid 'Octember' fizzle
Then, suddenly, the mood changes for a BRILLIANT moment of pure happiness,
my heart is standing on its toes, the arms of my soul reaching up to heaven
feeling the greatness of just being alive, well, healthy and able to feel, taste, see, wonder....
The leaves of this tree, I'll never forget them - they change colours within one day, they turn yellow, red and brown within hours, depending on the weather.
You can touch them - ONCE....
Then, the leaves simply fall off the twigs, you are left with an empty stick of no beauty and no nothing....
Life feels - sometimes - a bit like that too.... you wonder, are you holding on to an empty stick or are you touching the utter beauty and pure wonder of something incredibly beautiful and precious.
The choice is ours.

The short end of this long story is that my computer is definitely DEAD.... Not surprising really, it lasted well over 5 years, a long time in computer age... and with the more and more exhaustive and complex programmes I charged my poor little tower, it gave in and up.... RIP.
The downside is that I am just very occasionally at my Hero Husband's ancient, tiny laptop, still from our days in England, no French accents, none of my so sophisticated language control programmes, no Email addresses ready to just click on them, all my bookmarks lost in never-ever-land.... and YESsir..... I HAVE everything on an external harddisk but that one has fallen out of its protective casing and God alone knows when and if I can get it moving back in again....
One bad thing normally never comes alone and I faithfully follow the path of Murphy's law!
Looking at this delicate 'see-through' autumnal dress of the finest layers, I can however only be happy and cheerful, after a lousy week of November feelings we enjoyed a pretty good Friday and a brilliant warm and sunny Saturday, so Sunday will be alright too......
Wishing you much patience; I am back and commenting when and if I can - but I also have a life to live and the time I am not able to spend at my 'typewriter', I spend raking bagfulls of dry autumn leaves, I even found myself today with husband and two 'artisans' who worked on our house for six weeks at the large table on the terrasse - cheerfully eating a thrown together lunch and drinking some carefully chosen wine (that's a private tip, never mind what you serve to eat, serve an excellent wine and everybody is happy.....). Time passed in a flurry and we had supper in our veranda, with 12 candles lit and a nice English table lamp nearby, all my hanging and standing flower pots around us in their beauty and still full of blooms..... GOD, I lead a protected and wonderful life.
Cheers all - spend your Sunday in peace and happiness.....

I am struggling to think which photos I will miss most if the photos in my broken harddisk cannot be salvaged. There are probably thousands of them. I have been to many places in the past 10 years. Several trips to London, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, Kota Kinabalu, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Sydney, Brisbane, Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Yunnan, Maldives and probably many more.
What about you? Can you tell which 3 photos you would like to salvage at all costs?
