Whilst down at Victor Harbor I've been going through my photographic archives on my computer, exploring the film images I had taken upon my return to photography, and selecting the odd one to be processed in Lightroom.

These were ones that I'd taken whilst I was in transition to a digital world but didn't really understand what I was entering into. Though the negatives were processed and scanned by the lab, and I uploaded them to the Windows PC computer, I was still thinking in analogue terms despite having just joined Flickr.

I had no work flow, no projects, and I was just content to publish them on Flickr and this weblog. I was an amateur taking images on holidays and when I had a bit of spare time. My identity was a policy wonk, not that of a photographer. I slowly learnt from my mistakes: the poor quality of the image on junk for code drove me to set up a photoblog, Rhizomes1; whilst the hard disc's crashing on my desktop and laptop Windows forced me to do proper backups; whilst the poor quality of Windows for image forced me to make the switch to Apple.
