TRANSCRIPT
Photography speaks a universal language that does not need
translation, and with an immediacy that the written word lacks. It
freezes a moment in time, leaving an indelible image.
It is also a window into the photographer's soul.
One of my favorite photos 1971...My father always worked hard all of his life and his hands were always banged up. We had just brought home 1 day old Keith and he reached up and grabbed his grandfather’s banged up thumb. Such a contrast. Shot with a Miranda camera.
Grandpa Elmer was there when Keith grasped his thumb at 1 day old. Keith was there 40 years later as his 97 year old grandfather was passing…
I do not own or use Photoshop to manipulate photos. I try to the let the composition and subject stand on their own for impact. Photo: Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness

I loved the lighting – A church in Soweto, South Africa. Rotary Magazine published it on their Website.
I am into preservation and then sharing around the world“I am leaving an electronic legacy for the world”
I use Picasa: www.picasaweb.google.com/lsmithtwin (2330 albums, 1.2 million photos)
Scanned over 40,000 slides One of my first slide shots 1964
I have a collection of over 2,000 glass negatives from the 1890s. These have all been scanned and the world can enjoy them on Picasa. 4x5 up to 11x14
When my mother-in-law, Ruth Reed Boorman died we found boxes of slides, negatives, documents and photos from 1890 on. I now have 10,000 scanned images
from her collection for the family. They are all preserved and shared.
Most of my electronic world is found on 4 Websites

Get Organized!I encourage you to organize your
photos so you can find them. Get a system. Put them into
folders. This is the system I use for almost 2,000,000 photos. My computer has been upgraded to 16 terabytes, filled 3 terabytes.
I have a Picasa app on my I-phone that allows me to access all of my 1.2 million photos in my 2300 albums. From the app I can show the photo, send the photo or send the album link by e-mail or text.
Some samples of how I use photography1-My son called me and asked if I had any photos of my 18 year old granddaughter, Kaitlyn Smith. In 3 hours I had 1200 photos, 18 years of her life. Probably a record for a grandpa. Had many more.
2-To honor my wife Helen Smith’s, 70th birthday I put together an album of 3,000 photos. It took me a year of sorting through 2,000,000 photos.
3-I have matched up objects in my folks’ photos to objects we still have today…The Museum Project.
1945 – The first photo of Helen. When Helen’s mother died we found thousands of negatives in boxes in her apartment. They have all been scanned. 10,000 images
One of the houses that Helen was raised in. The snow blew through the cracks. She remembers the outhouse well.
I will be sending out this PowerPoint later today, you can click on the links to check out Helen or copy and paste.
