If you own a digital camera, you know about their biggest flaw: one takes too many pictures with them and then has trouble doing anything meaningful with that s**tload of files. I don't know of any magical way to deal with this, but I do know it's a bit easier to deal with that amount in data in small batches. Well, I've recently done just that with some old pictures and I've taken the opportunity to make a selection of my current favourites.

Lighthouse in Santander

These are just a quick selection of shots among the ones I have already sorted. I may decide to remove some of them from that selection or add others, based on how I feel about them after seeing them for a few weeks/months. Because the fact is I've put all of these in a slideshow I use as a screensaver and consequently get to see them fairly often. Also, I've got another 10k files to go through and might find a favourite or two among those.

For the record, this selection of 40 pictures is taken from a full collection of 2945 sorted and tagged pictures, themselves taken out of many thousands of pictures actually shot. How's that for editing? Yeah, I know, I should be even more ruthless in my editing and get the selection down to about 20. Oh well, some day...

Until then, enjoy your holiday season!

P.S.: I see I haven't even told you I was back in Paris. I've decided to get an apartment here and this one I'll keep a bit longer than the previous ones. 2 or 3 years, maybe ;)
