Schmap Australia

One of my photos appears in the new Schmap Australia Guide. It’s a picture I took of Mount Buffalo while living at Porepunkah.
The managing editor Emma Williams contacted me a couple of weeks ago and asked permission to use the photo if it was selected.
I’m not an expert photographer, but sometimes I fluke it for a good one. The great thing about digital cameras is you can snap hundreds of shots and not worry about the cost of processing.
I’m getting a video camera soon and plan to make a new hobby out of it.

Digital photos don’t cost anything to take but they sure chew up your PC’s hard drive space. Then you have to burn them to CD ROM or DVD for long term storage. So instead of having a handfull of negatives and prints in envelopes because we were all once so carefull of the costs generated, everyone now has thousands of images in archives that cost hours to create! Most of them will never be looked at.
Good comment Glenn. It inspired a blog post:
