Digital Asset Management
Tomorrow is a great day for photos. July 4th is a gaudy holiday filled with silly hats, parades, flags, bunting, and an occasional Uncle Sam on stilts. My camera is ready, I just cleaned the sensor with some exotic (meaning expensive) cleaner and the batteries are charging. Today I'm doing business chores that keep things going, the unglamorous underpinnings of life.
It’s important to have access to your photos. Digital Asset Management, while a cumbersome, tongue-twister of a term, is incredibly important. I currently use Abode Photoshop Lightroom to manage my photos (digital assets) but have used other databases over the years. I loved using iView Media Pro before Microsoft bought them and turned the software into Expressions Media, a name that still makes me cringe. No matter. Lightroom does the job well, albeit with a few flaws that make my jaw clench from time-to-time.
