Recovery

We're back! SDP was unexpectedly shut down for the past week due to an external hard drive malfunction.   During that time, my entire digital photo library was MIA. (That's 17,000+ pictures!) Well, I  located them (not in my refrigerator) but on my backup drive...and I successfully recovered them.  Whew!  Two nicely chilled 1664s have been tucked way in the back of the fridge, ready for the photo recovery celebration.  But, since I started enjoying an alcohol-free diet before this nerve wracking incident, they shall stay put for awhile.  Gosh, it's nice to have all my photos accounted for --- and SDP up and running again.  

Photography 101: Marketing a Product

I mentioned recently that I'm trundling up to Tampa for a weekly photography class.  This week's assignment was marketing a product, and this was my submission.  Despite someone off-screen relentlessly trying to nip at the prop, all in all, it went well.  Many thanks to the Leggy Blonde for the location, props and unparalleled acting.  I'm sold on this product!  Care to join me in a glass? (after 5 p.m., of course)

In other news....voting officially ended last night for the SDP poll which posed the question, "Would you like to see photos from places other than Sarasota?"  I'm pleased to report there will be no recount here in Sarasota, Florida.  The overwhelming response was 'yes' with 80% of the vote.  Management has instructed the entire staff here at SDP to keep Sarasota as the main focus, with the occasional post from elsewhere, preferably within Florida.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote!
