And no, I don’t live here. But if you were up at night and this was your home, wouldn’t that be nice?

Jake at Photoblogs asks if we loose a way of telling a story by using single-shot photoblogs rather than multi-shot. So here’s why I do single:

The picture I choose best represent my mood, feelings, thoughts and/or highlights of the day. Doing multiple shots I feel would be saying too much. By going through the shots day by day, perhaps you’ll get to know me well, but by multiple shots you’ll have no idea what I most want to focus on as I’m probably all over the place.

Secondly, of course, is the time issue. I don’t get to take that many good pictures as I’m still learning. And processing them takes time. Time comes coupled with space: I don’t have unlimited with space to publish everything. (although some would say I’m fairly close )

No, I’ll save those multiple shots for photo albums, such as my gallery. But having said that, there are multi-shots photoblogs that I read every time a new picture has been added, and one of them is on my top 3. So choose your format, wrap it nicely and I’m looking forward to seeing it. (yes, by all means, do leave an URL in your comment)

Is it just me, or is iPhoto getting seriously old. First off all, it doesn’t support RAW yet, so the CR2 files from my Canon EOS 20D are easily getting seriously disorganized. Seconldy, speed… sorry Apple, I’ve seen iPhoto 4 with 7000 1 mb pictures with the odd 40mb picture in it, it’s just not up to par on your iMac 1Ghz/1GB which should be more than good enough to handle this. How hard is it to cache those thumbnails? Waiting minutes every time you move the scrollbar just doesn’t work. So I’ve stuck with iPhoto 2 which is equally slow. Features of iPhoto 4 I’d like of course, and I’m so looking forward to hearing news of what Apple has in plan for the next revision (will that be iPhoto 6, 8 or 16, btw? ) as iPhoto 2 doesn’t work well for more than a gb of photos at a time or so.
