About
Well, some miscreant deleted all 10 of the blogs I’ve kept starting in 2006. It’s rather pathetic, n’est pas? I mean how low do you have to be to get pleasure out of deleting a person’s private family blog consisting of family photos including those of great grandparents.
I had over 2,000 posts on my most popular blog and this has been a major loss.
Yet, I’ve got to gambatte just as the Japanese do.
I started a new Blogger blog, but Google didn’t list it in on my new account. Looking at various bulletin board it seems that this is happening to lots of people, so I’m done with Google and am getting acquainted with WordPress, which seems to offer a better option.
Thus here’s a new blog where I’ll write my musings on life, rants, opinions, experiences and observations.
I do have some posts saved and I’ll throw them up here.

Keep your head up, a blog is not a life. You will find the force to start over.

Loss: I’ve been a photographer since I was 22, Over the years you can imagine how many rolls of film, prints and albums I accumulated in that time. I was living in Chicago in a 2 story walk-up in the Lincoln park area.It was a great loftesque top floor flat shaped like a triangle on a six corner so all the architecture was built to fit all the angles of the roadways. I had storage in the basement through the ground floor salon. The major wall of the basement butted up to the alley and flooded one year after a huge snow year. Most of my valuable stuff was off the floor but we had just gone down there the week before to organize or look for something and left it disheveled. I had a rubbermaid full of just prints not organized, just thrown in that filled up with water and with no idea of where the negs were I was disheveled!
I now keep all my prints in old Kodak print paper boxes or shoe boxes[off the floor] Look for Negative vs Digital here in the future.
Everything happens for a reason……..and we move on.
Thank you for the link on your Weekly Photo challenge: Distortion post. ((bow))
cheers

That was a major loss. It’s good that we can learn to move on under such circumstances and to prevent future. We should think about how to insure digital safety.

ouch! that is tough…
however as MadMan says, a blog is not a life – which is a good thing.
So courage and lots of fun to you as you begin again. Hope you enjoy WordPress. Happy Blogging!

I am happy that I stumbled on your blog through Shards of China. I like your photography and your writing. I look forward to seeing much more…. I am SORRY about the loss of your blog; I bet it feels as if you’ve been violated.

I don’t really remember how I got here except that you left a comment on my Kimono post on Word Press. I have commented all over the place since I clicked your link. Thanks for stopping.

How unfortunate!! Word Press is definitely the way to fly–they’ve been wonderful to me. God bless your latest efforts, hugely.
