Sunday Morning
Mar. 22nd, 2020 08:50 amWhich is really Monday morning, come a day early, as it's kind of the start of my working weak. At least it starts at 10am, so I have a little more time before abluting & departing
Started a 2nd new musical project yesterday, adding to the covers band a friend wants me to play lead guitar in. An erstwhile band-mate has a home studio setup & would like to record some of the songs & instrumental pieces I've stockpiled over the last 10-15 years, as he's heard some of them & really likes them!?!? This makes a nice change, as I've carried those pieces around with me, through various bands & collaborations that always ended up with me contributing a lot of time & work to other people's music, while, somehow, we never got 'round to any of mine... Let's see...
My paid Flickr account has expired & they want an exorbitant amount of money to renew it. Flickr was taken over by another company about 2 years ago & when my account automatically renewed last year, the amount wrested from our bank account was significantly larger than the 10 previous years & did not make L-SP happy. This year, with the Australian dollar tanking because of that virus & its global effects, the renewal amount is astronomical & I'm not sure it's worth it. I have a number of friends there, some of whom I met in person during 2 trips to the USA & would hate to lose, but, then again, there's e-mail if they ever want to find me...
What I'd like to find is another high-quality photo hosting service that won't take so much money from me that I'll never save enough to buy new camera equipment, or afford the journeys which provide the photo opportunities to use it!
Any thoughts, hints, or suggestions, O Netizens Faire??
