Covid Shutdown
Starting where we left off.
__________________________________
I haven't posted on my Blog in quite a long time and in thinking back as to why that was,
I recall that everything came to a grinding halt back in about February or March of
2019 due to the introduction of the Covid 19 virus. What an interesting and scary time it was.
I also recall a meeting, on the eve of all that, in my studio to discuss new projects, both assigned
and personal. All with great expectation and anticipation. Then the news rolled in and
everything came to a slow and grinding stop.
No one wanted to be within spitting distance of anyone else and all projects were tabled.
It was the first time I had ever experienced what it might be like to be retired. I did
not like it. My yards never looked so good and I actually got tired of playing golf and
riding my bike.
I wanted to continue my posting on social media, but was running low on new content
to post. At that point, and out of boredom I started digging around in my pre-digital
film files looking for some interesting and all but forgotten photos to scan-up and remaster
so as to have a little something to push out so everyone would know I was still living and
breathing.
The more I dug, the more I found, and the more I found the more I was drawn into the
things we were shooting back in those days. Drawn in for nostalgic reasons, but also because
I was excited to find some pretty nice work in those old files. The images kept coming and
I kept posting until I decided that this old library deserved a place on my website.
The Legacy Gallery was born.
Things have come a long way since the days of schlepping film in and out of the camera
and to and from the photo lab. I had neglected, in the transition to the digital workflow
to recognize just how easy thinks had become and what a hassle managing all of the film
and processing was in those days. Not to mention the expense.
So here I am again, posting on my Blog and this seems a good starting point. One
that I should be able to build upon with new work I've done post-Covid. We lived
though it and in so doing experienced the dawn of a new era in our history.
In the meantime, I have some catching up to do.
