How could I have let it get this bad?

I'm currently going through a media changeover. Because of hardware changes, the time is coming where my older photo files will become inaccessible. I could adopt the attitude that all things are impermanent and let these things pass into extinction. Unfortunately there are a lot of family pictures in that mess that I don't want to let go. And by mess I mean a 500 gig hard drive that is mostly organized but barely edited.
I made a joke about this being a summer project. After ten hours of sorting, I'm beginning to see the joke is on me.
Here's something I found during yesterday's session. I'm not worried about the child's identity as this picture was taken in 2006. He's a grown man now and this vulnerable version of him doesn't exist anymore.

The Domes in 2022

This alternative student housing was built in 1972 on the UC Davis campus. The design was more political than practical. My generation had a great chance to really make a difference in the world. Too much energy was wasted on silly junk like this.

Color or monochrome




I find with B&W, you see the elements of the picture more clearly. Color can have a tendencey to bedazzle.
