The restoration

I’ am working on restoring old pictures and negatives. Some of them are very old. http://www.redbubble.com/people/epazia/art/3272407-5-young-lady-1920 for example. My scanner is not very good but it will cover negatives and Dynamic Photo HDR does pull out some nice detail that would other wise just be lost forever. This is a very slow and tedious process and if you have never done this, I really don’t recommend it especially if your negatives are badly damaged as are many of mine. Well I suppose anything worth having takes time to create.

What the hell is that suppose to mean?

“Ultimately no human brain, no planet full of human brains, can possibly catalog the dark, expanding ocean of data we spew. In a future of information auto-organized by folksonomy, we may not even have words for the kinds of sorting that will be going on; like mathematical proofs with 30,000 steps, they may be beyond comprehension. But they’ll enable searches that are vast and eerily powerful. We won’t be surfing with search engines any more. We’ll be trawling with engines of meaning.”

— Bruce Sterling

blah, blah, blah do you get the feeling you have heard this buzzing before! “We’ll be trawling with engines of meaning.” through piles of shit put on the internet by who knows who, with whatever agenda, owned by whatever top bidding corporation. What you thought everyone was on the same playing field surely not?

Good Luck with that Mr. Sterling! I raise my glass to you!

Now I challenge you to take your email filter off and sign up for some free stuff and get a good feel for what it is exactly you think you will be giving meaning to! Or perhaps enter the lottery for the top spot on Google for a couple days, better make it second the real players don’t really want the top spot.

As the site says hello WORLD!

This was one of my to-dos or bucket list adventures if you will to see if blogging was something interesting to do. For me for you, for Ogilby or Bonzai, those are the dogs by the way. They are a trapped audience, they have to listen!

I am in a bit of a cocooned state trying to figure out where I want to be? If I care about fitting in? I know I am not happy, but I will be!

I love to create and that is the adventure I think I would like you to share with me, if you would like.

I support myself by the practice of Law, though I could use a job and the responsible in me says that is what I must do to make the world happy, it makes me miserable! But, sigh, people need to eat, the mortgage must be paid. Now if I could just find this ever elusive job to do all of those important tasks!
