Everybody has one, that special drawer that stores all the\u00a0nonsense that you can’t quite place elsewhere. Chip clips, batteries, found parts of objects that you no longer have and gum…lots of gum.<\/p>\n

Well I have the digital\u00a0equivalent in photographs. \u00a0Random shots that\u00a0individually may not stand on their own but are just as interesting as a complete set.<\/p>\n

The pic above is a good example of momentary importance. The current owners of the Coronado Tower have decided that that after all these years the building needed some cleaning up and in the process removed all the trees making it look rather stark.<\/p>\n

I organize things all the time. In my garage, my office and even my music collection everything has its place. I really don’t like junk drawers\u00a0because really it means you have failed at putting everything in its place. \u00a0With all the photographs I have taken or scanned its no different. \u00a0I could go the straight sort by date route but interesting little gems would get lost in the sea of dates. \u00a0in reality, photos are better grouped\u00a0chronologically\u00a0by event anyway. There are only a few times in your life where the exact date is important.<\/p>\n

So that leaves me with my digital junk drawer. At least its not stacked up somewhere, blocking an exit and creating a fire\u00a0hazard. Random 2011<\/a> and 2010<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
