2010 ~ A Photographic Year in Review

A few months back, if you recall, my computer died. {you can click these underlined words for further details}

Tragedy. {the computer dying part not the story links}

Well a brand new laptop recently arrived requiring all types of data transfers from complicated backup systems. It has been some hard work here in the trenches and I’ve had to request assistance at times from DH. With his computer Mega-Mind he has turned into Jimmy Fallon’s character Nick Burns from SNL. “Move Over” has a whole new meaning to me.

So as part of this data reconfiguration I’ve had to review ALL OF MY photographs.

Cheese and Rice

But in doing so I was able to reflect on 2010 in a whole new way. The Computer Gods work in very mysterious way. Indeed.  

I thought I would share the following photos straight from the Archives as a photographic recap of 2010.
