Getting Ready

Painting the Town Red 

On January 17th 2013, I decided that it was important that I start organizing my most precious and oldest family photographs and writing about them.

I took a photo of the photos (!) and started to blog about the process. I organized the collection and put them in an archival box.

Starting to chose photos and in what order to blog about them is a tough task because I have to have 250 words to say about each one and still be interesting. I am going to try to be several days ahead. 

Behind the scenes I will not be "painting the town red" because I also have to see which photos I have already scanned, where they are backed up, and what format I have them scanned and archived in. I think this portable drive will be my (TIFF) backup that I don't open any of the scans on it ever. I might do this at the end.

I hope this will become a conversation between you, the reader, and me for this February "heart to heart" month. I think that's what "heart 2 heart" means.

See you on Friday, February 1st, 2013...

I LOVE that red hard drive. You won't lose it for sure. Sounds like you are ready to go and you still have a week until Feb 1. Congratulations.
