I’ve been determined to get my digital photography workflow sorted, and to that end have bought a large external drive from which I can systematically work through all of my images shot to date on RAW, and start to farm the value inherent in them.

Images on a drive have no value unless they are put to use - the only challenge is that it takes massive energy and discipline. And like any chore, the longer you leave the post processing work, the harder it becomes to tackle the mounting mass of bits that start to clog your drive.

Anyway one of the benefits of this type of chore is that you come across images that you on second viewing are quite cool, either for sentimental or reportage reasons, or simply because one’s sense of what is cool changes with time and influence. This pic of me with a tiger was shot by Wolfgang Leander while he was trying out my digital setup - yes I know its a classic macho shot blah blah, but for various reasons I dig it, thanks Wolf!
