Happy World Backup Day!

March 31st is World Backup Day!

Computer storage fails. Devices are stolen. Natural and man-made disasters occur. Malware encrypts data.

We all need backup routines in place to protect our valuable image files — routines that follow the 3-2-1 backup rule:

  • 3 copies of everything
  • 2 different media
  • 1 copy stored off-site

In case you need help with improving your backup routine, talk to the folks at our help table at the back of the room during the next mid-meeting break.

If you need more detailed help, book a session with the Kanata Seniors Council tech tutors who can help with Windows, Apple, & Android backup solutions.

Manfred Mueller: Printmaking & Bookmaking – Preserving your Photographic Legacy

When we are no longer around, no one is going to look at our hard drive to see our photographs. Making prints, on the other hand, gives us something that we can hand down to our children and grandchildren. Prints are something we can enjoy without having to resort to technology to view our photographs.

Join club member and print maker Manfred Mueller in examining some of the options we have to make and display prints and to create photo books.

Bill Pratt: Freeing Your Muse

How far do you want to push beyond just Thinking Like a Photographer?  At our March 7th meeting, Bill will share his journey on how to be more creative in achieving the desired Image from the captured data. He’ll provide examples of before and after Images and present a few AV Shows.  This Presentation focuses on the What & Why, not the How.

Bill’s Artistic Statement 

I believe pressing the shutter is only the first step in the photographic process.  The photographic Image can be so much more than it was in the past.  Modern tools now allow the photographer to more clearly convey to the viewer the artist’s interpretation of the world and of their perception of life.  I use a varied tool kit to create an Image that hopefully evokes for the viewer a strong sense of what I experienced and what I felt; not just what I saw.
