Welcome
Back!
To teach
this library system, I had to break down the key steps and
processes, and figure out how to present them in a logical
order. Please know that putting a sequence to everything
is tricky because once you get your storage binders and
category drawers set up and functioning, there isn't necessarily
an order to maintaining them. Remember that while this course
is weeks long, I'm asking you to implement (in only ten
lessons) processes that took me years to figure out and
refine.
Please
be patient with yourself. I so appreciate your efforts and
your trust. The end result of "photo freedom"
is worth some confusion and frustration along the way.
This
week as we begin to pull photos to place in general categories,
we will take what I'm calling the photo-connection challenge.
If you follow through, you are sure to catch a glimpse of
where we are headed.
As
a reminder, once you get about five years of your BEST photos
slipped into storage binders, I need you to shift your focus
to moving forward with the class. Many of you are dealing
with decades of photos and will, therefore, continue working
on your chronological sorting and storage for several weeks.
This is good. Keep plugging along, by setting aside 15 minutes
each day to sort and slip printed photos into your storage
binders. You will be pleasantly surprised by how much progress
you make in short spurts of daily effort.
CAUTION:
Do not get so bogged down with these initial steps that
you can't move forward. Do your best to keep up with the
class assignments as they are given.
Have
a fabulous week. I promise, the "Ahas" are coming!
NOTE:
This week, I want you to listen to both audio messages
and then print the handout and additional worksheets/downloads.
When you have time, view the presentation entitled Photo
Triage.
The
LOM Gallery
Our student gallery is a wonderful extension of the community
we are building here. You should not feel obligated or stressed
about uploading images, but if you have the time and the
inclination, sharing images of your progress, pages and
projects is a wonderful way to connect to other students.
Once you upload an image, please specify which sub-gallery
you'd like it to appear in. If we are careful to assign
our images to the correct weekly gallery we will facilitate
a wonderful resource that follows the class syllabus.
If you
are unfamiliar with online galleries, please click
here for some basic how-to information.
To see a gallery thumbnail image up close, simply click
on the thumbnail. In this larger view, you can do three
things …
- Leave
a comment in the comment box.
- Click
on the student's username and see all other images they
have uploaded.
- Click
on the "send email" link and send them a personal
comment or question.
Be sure
to check out both my gallery
and our LOM coaches' gallery
for additional ideas and insight.
