G'day Rowan,

(A)
I reckon I can run off an update set of Mudcatter tags ... given reasonable notice. (I will be off to Canberra on Monday 6 April - so don't leave it too late!)

(B)
Not so much of a 'high level' change - but Jan Nary, the former NFF Publicist has gone off to see if she still has a life in the real world ... and the new incumbent is trying to establish tighter procedures and develop a procedure by which selected NFF photographers will only submit a selection of ~ 100 images for the whole event.

I can see why they want to have a solid pre-selection by the photogs ... and I have been outlining the approach I will be taking ... now I have been dragged into the digital fold ... all involving:


A/ Full backup of everything I take to my laptop (around midnight in the Press Room) with 'structured' date / event / photog / image #...

B/ Selection to a sub-directory for each event day ...

C/ Back-up of full file and selection file to my portable hard drive ...

D/ Drop off prime selections (either daily ... or morning after end of NFF) - and assuming they have a Mac that will talk to real world devices ...

It will be interesting to see how it all works out ... and how the selection and utilisation of images might change!

Regards,

Bob
