Some of you may perhaps be wondering why exactly I haven't been putting any new images up recently, despite the fact that summer just happened and I had plenty of time to work on photography. The answer is quite simple. During the summer my computer started a slow spiral into madness, culminating last week in a recurring message flashing Warning! Failure imminent. Back-up and replace Hard-disk immediately.

Basically, what happened, is that my hard drive lost a lot of stability, possibly from the sheer number of times I reformatted it, but more likely from the fact that it is almost seven years old now. As a result, I could not actually run photoshop any longer, as it would take over 5 minutes to persorm a simple task such as resizing a photo. Hell, I could barely run firefox without my computer freezing every five minutes.

This should all be fixed soon, as I am getting a temporary replacement hard-drive soon, and will get a permanent one once I can afford it. Then hopefully working on photography won't be the tedious task it has been recently and I can actually get some work done. I've got a great roll of color photos from the Orientation program I helped with this summer (shot on Reala, my first excurion into higher-grade film) as well as about five rolls of black-and-white from various projects over the summer. Of course, I still need to process those, which will require me coercing the lab tech into secreting me in at untold hours of the night. 'Cause I like being sneaky like that. ::evil grin::
