FRUSTRATED BY CICUMSTANCES, SAVED BY FAVOURABLE RETAILERS

Over the last six months or so I’ve been bombarded with computer programming problems. Adding to those issues, identifying spam mail and deleting it means basically having to identify very incoming email by checking every contact before opening the mail. I thought I had a reasonably good memory but it fails me when I try to remember ten digit email numbers. Then time is consumed searching the content list.

Many of the companies I regularly use contact me with a request that I change my password with them. What use to be simple exercise has descended into a minefield and is no longer just a moments or two at the keyboard.

I now contact my suppliers by phone to place orders and Australia Post and other delivery organisations have a seamless system and never disappoint.

By suppliers I mean businesses like Epson, Nikon and others who retail photograph requirements such as photo paper, printer inks , filters, lenses and the like. For example, my Epson printer uses ten inks. As I print up to A2+ in colour, inks and paper require constant replacement together with mounting board.

I’m a member of three camera clubs and a number off photography Facebook pages. Two of the camera clubs meet monthly and five images are required by each club if entering the monthly competition. The third group meets twice monthly, again five images are required for each meeting. Here, prints are not required and digital presentation is required. Accordingly, expendables are not an issue there.

Users decide image size for our Facebook groups so again, no expenses are incurred with the digital imagery presented.

All of these activities work well to dull the frustration I’ve mentioned above with programming and emails.

Here are two examples of the type of imagery acceptable to our Camera Club.

These images were part of my submission for the topic’ Urban Decay’.
