Tube Rentals

This was obviously an office (or a storefront) once, but now it's just storage for a business whose front is on Kent Street (Portland's Main). Dunno why anyone would want to rent a tube.

Got my eyes checked a year ago, and (of course) took along my camera. I wandered around downtown Portland before my appointment, taking pictures of buildings and doorways.

What's with this "roll" thing, Joel? Well, it's like this. Every day I dump each camera's photographs into a folder on my computer, with folder titles like this--

20120105-Downtown Portland-Cybershot-JPG-12-1354

--the date, a description of the contents, the camera, the file format used, number of pictures, and a sequence number. These sit on my laptop for a few days before I get around to burning them to CD or DVD, then copying them to a server. (About half of them have also been saved to Google's cloud.) I call 'em "rolls" because I need to call 'em something. I suppose that's my film heritage showing through. (FWIW, scanned pix get the same treatment.)

It's a system; it works for me. YMMV, of course.
