Time Machine Rocks

This morning I had my Mac hang up oddly and on restarting, my Mail accounts were hosed…

So I was able to dig into Time Machine (Apple’s new backup system that’s build into OSX Leopard) and had a ton of backups to choose from. I just grabbed one from this morning, before the hang and I got all of my files back fine. It only took about 10 minutes to reimport them into the right folders.

Before Time Machine, that would have been a long, stressful job and I would have had to go back days or weeks to my last backup.

Progress on the New URMC WIlmot Cancer Center Building

The glass is in and the fascad is really taking shape. This is a Ken ‘creative’ shot of the new glass front reflecting the old Strong buildings surrounding it.

Even inside they are coming along. This Saturday, the first huge accelerator machine will be installed… I was amazed that they are doing that so early, but I was told they need lots of time to get it on line.

Cool Locations

I’m so fortunate that I get to shoot in so many interesting places in Rochester. I remember the time when the George Eastman House folks asked me ‘Where (in the mansion) did I think I’d like to take the portraits’… I mean, that’s a loaded question! Every square inch of the place is beautiful; I had a harder time narrowing down locations than finding one.

Once a while back I was able to shoot from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School’s bell tower… lots of pigeon poo, but a lovely view and great shots with the bell. I was back at Colgate today (they are getting to be such a great client), and even though I was there for ‘people’ shots, I couldn’t help grabbing these building/window photos.

I guess if you shoot supermodels, that must be easier than shooting regular workin’ folks… and for me, shooting in these locations is just a blast.
