The studio photography at Encounter Studio continues slowly, very slowly. It is being done with film on a Rollei 6006 and it is shot by shot. A roll of 120 film takes a long time to get through, then it has to be processed and scanned.
I get impatient with this type of work flow so I shoot with a digital camera:
Gary Sauer-Thompson, Protea cynaroides, digital, 2009
The problem is the subject matter. Flowers are plain boring after a while. Flowers are good for learning the technique of studio photography, but ultimately they are of little interest content wise. So the problem is one of content. What do I do?
The other problem I'm having in the studio is technological. Firstly, I've had lots of trouble establishing the backup for the digital photos on the PC hard drive---getting the Lacie Big Disc operating both as a backup and as a network. In the end I gave up on the so called "plug in and play" and I took it to a computer shop to have installed.
Secondly, this lack of technological know how is a problem given my desire to develop my photography into a gallery and an e-book
