Adrienne, A Ballet Dancer

I am working on a better system to store files then the small pile of external hard drives. I currently copy or backup the hard drives at the studio to another small pile of slightly older drives that I take home. I also burn a DVD after each session. I finally decided to put my eggs in one basket, meaning I am going to store all the studio's files on a server. Technical stuff is that the server is a little older but seldom used Pentium 4 running Ubuntu with a SATA hard drive raid controller. Rather then use the RAID to combine hard drives, I created a super large 5 terabyte drive using a Linux tool called LVM. It seems to work well and I am copying some files right now. I'll skip the rest of the technical stuff for right now, but for now I have one place for everything. I still plan to backup the server's drive to external drives and keep a copy every week or so.

Anyway, on to the picture of the week...



Adrienne came home from D.C. for a few days and we managed to get in two photo sessions and a video ballet audition. She is a really talented dancer and is always a blast to shoot. I'll post more edits in the ballet gallery on the web site soon after we sort through the favorites.
