Then we went digital.
Now long gone are the days of disks and drives. Digital imaging created a monster problem, where to put all these images. When I was shooting film I was conservative, with typical shot rations of 4:1, but digital blew wide open. Besides ratios three times that, I'm shooting more subjects, taking more risks in exposure, with over ten thousand images uploaded in the past three years.
Where to put all this data? In the cloud.
