Picture: Cast of Bigfoot foot, on display at the Bigfoot Museum, Willow Creek, California
I can’t say I’m a true believer that there are families of Bigfeet walking around the forests of the Western United States. However, while working on my current book project, I thought it might be fun to take a detour of the Humboldt County coast, and go see the Bigfoot Museum. Trust me, the Smithsonian it isn’t. But it was fun to see the various foot casts in person, and see all the books an posters related to the Bigfoot legend.
But this post also signifies a Big Step for me as well. Since the end of my last trip four weeks ago, I’ve done little else than process images. In this period of time, I’ve processed over 1300 images; (452) 35mm slide scans from Humboldt & Del Norte County, (358) RAW images (& counting) from my latest trip to Humboldt & Del Norte County – the above image included, and (545) RAW images from the Central Coast & Santa Barbara. Ugh.
When people say how cool of a job being a photographer must be, this is what I explain is the flip side of the coin, spending full day and nights up ’til 1:00am night after night processing images. Fun? No. Work? You better believe it! I’m ready for a break from the screwy computer.
Sounds like the museum was fun Gary. The roadside attractions are kinda tacky but always enjoyable.
It’s hard to tell which is the machine, you or the computer. On the flip side of the coin, you are your own boss.
