]]> Comment on Review: David Ziser’s Digital Wakeup Call Tour by Jimfoto http://www.oscarc.net/blog/2009/05/review-david-zisers-digital-wakeup-call-tour/comment-page-1/#comment-2514 Jimfoto Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:18:13 +0000 http://www.oscarc.net/blog/?p=480#comment-2514 I attended Digital Wakeup call too. While there was some useful information, about 2/3 of the seminar was an advertisement for Ziser and his supporters. As you say "The software section was where the tour sponsors became painfully evident.". I would advise you to save your money. I mention this because I'm attending his "free" webinar right now. We're 14 minutes into an hour or hour and a half webinar and it looks like it's going to be a pitch for his new book the whole time. I attended Digital Wakeup call too.

Thank you for the great shots you got of my Sakura (yellow sundress) and also of me with my friend. I hope I can attend ALA next year and hope to see you again.

I like reading write ups and after thoughts about an event. I briefly went to do the con gripe session too. I'm very glad this event had improved and only been getting better through the years.

I figure you can write off the increasing pixel count, as if you use SLRs and stay in the same market niche, the camera file size growth rate underperforms the hard disk growth rate (and therefore 1/$permb rate). But yes the other half of the math is harder to exclude. I pay Amazon about 100$/mo including a 24x7 small EC2 instance so this hasn't been a problem yet. I also factor in that a spinning drive with RAID/clustering is worth more to me than a powered-off drive in a closet. Bearings freeze up, the cloud doesn't :) Yeah about the same here (my photo archive is about 800gb at the moment).

I've looked at online backup options several times, but the sheer volume of data makes that difficult. I have almost 1TB of (just) photos today, and have been adding 50-150 GB of photos a month. Also, the growth rate is increasing, both due to increasing megapixel counts as I upgrade cameras, and because I'm doing more shoots.

Do you backup off-site anywhere? I've taken to using EC2, after all the super-cheap online storage solutions totally failed on me (or change their ToS randomly, etc). Cost a few hundred bucks to commit the initial archive but incremental updates aren't much. (I don't use S3 because it's not a real filesystem and is too big of a pain to synchronise (or requires tools I don't trust). Instead, I use a temporary EC2 node to do the rsync to an EBS volume, and keep one snap of that on S3 -- that snapshot process is built-in. Only real problem with this solution is that EBS volumes max out at 1TB.) Sure glad you added the last line or I would’ve recommended you use Lightroom.
