What’s This All About?

 It’s about 25,000+ image files on my iPad. Not all of my graphic work by any means but a big chunk of it and an organizational nightmare at that. In accordance with Apple’s mellow 80s wisdom, the files have no names or usable IDs that can be searched for. The only search is by eye, scrolling through the days, weeks, and months to find what you want and don’t remember any dates for. Many of these have been used as is in my various blogs, Facebook posts, and large-scale multimedia projects. A great many others are what you’d call “inspiration images,’ ‘raw material,’ or ‘work-in-process’ for graphics that may or may not have been completed or ultimately used. Most of the work-in-process material is not included, because  not that much dreary sequence iteration is needed to see how much work can go into something designed to get a few seconds of attention, a chuckle, a ‘yes!’, curiosity, a response of some kind. For the multimedia-inclined, graphics is not a sideline or add-on; it’s part of a whole that includes multiple equally important ingredients.including words, numbers/math, and sound. 

I needed to organize it in order to improve my own access to these images, Realized along the way that an organized view of my graphic files might be as enlightening to my readers as it necessary to me. So here’s a glimpse of just one slice of the RFLaird universe.
