too big to carry with me all the time... now that I have the E-M5 and just
ordered the Panny 20/1.7,  I'm going to make a valiant effort to post one a
week here.  You may see an iPhone pic, like the one I posted of the
hospital or the pano of the aqueduct.  Or it may be from the E-M5 or E-1.
I'm inspired by Nathan's efforts.  There's no way I can do the PAD thing -
I know myself and my time and limitations.  But one a week, shared here, is
doable.  I've got Flickr and Photobucket, and I'm not aftraid to use them.

I am going to use mine more frequently.  I will be selling the film OM
bodies shortly.  I haven't touched film since I got the E-1.

Since it looks like I've settled on LR, I need to spend some serious time
going through my piles of files and also tossing the substandard stuff, and
then putting some serious time into tagging the images in LR.  If I'm going
to continue in this hobby, might as well do it right.  Also going to put
copies of vacation photos and some key images upstairs on the Mac Mini
that's tied into the living room BATV (big-a** TV) so we can actually view
slideshows of them, instead of just having them sleeping on a hard drive.
