At 50+ ...New to your musings. And you sir, amuse. <br /><br />At 50+ and a retired photographer, I can relate. In some ways, youngsters have a major advantage. Their virtual property is stored in the cloud. Fireproof, theft-proof and archival. I envision future news vultures interviewing the poor millennial whose house just burned to the ground or was flattened by a rogue tornado, hoping the poor sod is sobbing. But no, he says all his valuables are stored in the cloud, then shrugs and heads down to the closest Starbucks for some WiFi.John Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819283398680138723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-13227965158403920552015-10-05T20:09:20.037-07:002015-10-05T20:09:20.037-07:00Some would say it's not curating, it's hoa...Some would say it's not curating, it's hoarding. As I get older I'm trying to change my pack ratting ways. I recently whittled my book collection (not just photobooks, all books) to about 8 linear feet of shelving. I've given or thrown away most of my chemical photography equipment (am I going to use it in 5 years or less? if no it goes) and I am trying to simplify, simplify, simplify. Not easy for someone who's been hoarding (photographing) for 50+ years.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732395599654966762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-69701085744071971042015-10-02T11:43:37.544-07:002015-10-02T11:43:37.544-07:00As someone who just threw out his back cleaning ou...As someone who just threw out his back cleaning out the basement after our landlord said we couldn't store things there anymore, I can attest to the fact that it's not good to get hung up on the various detritus we collect over our lives- though it would be hard to get rid of (most of) the photo books. As with everything else, it's where to draw the line, and let go... <br /><br />But then, you probably shoot film.Stan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381743002180926900noreply@blogger.com
