Re: problem
LOL Sandy, This weekend, from Wednesday night til Sunday night, I went through 25,000 digital images on my backup drive, culled it down to 17,000, chose out of that 1000 of the top and out of that 100 that I will do in gum over the next year. Digital as well as film is one big archive nightmare. I could hang up the camera now and just use what I have! So I feel your pain. In the process I was looking for a couple measley little items and never found them. Which is why keywording digifiles should be a MUST. But I did manage to print 10 gums while doing this :) Sorry for you, Gordon--that is TERRIBLE.
