Yesterday was Monday and Monday is my day off from the New York photography world. But I worked very hard on that day. That’s the day where I do a final edit. During the course of the week, I could probably take between nighttime and daytime 300 pictures a day. I completely delete half of those and the other ones I put aside to look at on the way home on the train and I get rid of some more.
Every Monday, I go through what’s left at the end of the week and do a final edit. These are the ones that go on DVD that goes out to Sophie to put them on the website. I enjoy that, it reviews everything I did for a week and its fun. I’m about two months behind right now so there’s about maybe 4,000 to 5,000 images that I like a lot that still have to be edited.
Also on Mondays, I do a big shopping here for the house, make my spaghetti sauce with my sons and make lasagna and meatloaf and do a lot of house cleaning. It’s actually a harder day on Monday – my day off – than in the city.
Anyway, I really enjoyed looking at these photos because I see so many people that I forget certain things and it’s like my memory is on that little chip. It’s actually called the “memory chip” but it’s my memory chip. A lot of exciting things – every month, it’s getting more and more exciting. This is about the sixth year of the digital chips. I still have photos from 20 years ago that I want to put on the site. I just didn’t scan them in yet.
