Why Capturing Life?

I dunno.  Waking Life came to mind, in that it was a pretty trippy movie I… still.. haven’t seen.  Done by the same guy who did “A Scanner Darkly” and Slackers… Linklater.  Anyway, trippy is how I’ve been feeling lately.  At 36, I married the woman I’ve sought for so long, finished school in a field (I think) I will really enjoy, moved into a house that (unfortunately) wasn’t the best choice, and created a new life which has challenged me to really question who I am and what I want out of this short life that we all experience before returning to a state in which we don’t exist again.

 That’s all pretty heavy stuff.

 So, why Capturing Life… dunno.  I like taking pictures – capturing a moment in time.  My memory is not so great as to be able to remember everything I’ve experienced, but I’ve found that by having seeing a photo, I can re-experience that event and fully recall it.  And, since most people generally take photos of happy events, I get to remember all the happy things in my life.  Over, and over.  :-)

That said, I’m trying to move my life.. my collection of photos and videos.. over to some photography services (SmugMug – http://www.smugmug.com and PhanFare –  http://www.phanfare.com) to take a bit of the burden away of maintaining my own server, etc.  Getting 21 GIGS of photos over this small straw of an internet connection I have is going to be an interesting challenge, but i digress.  This blog is going to keep a record of what I had to do.  Who knows, perhaps someone else can use the info.

    Thanks for the login script, I am trying to access the zenfolio api using php and having a hard time trying to extract the properties. Do you have any insight of this. I have tried various methods but only having examples in c# doesn’t help. Any info appreciated.
