Back Your A** Up – The Workshop

Finally, coming VERY SOON, I will be announcing the date(s) for my workshop. What?!?! Another workshop by a photographer?!?! I won’t be talking about posing, workflow (well sort of), lighting, marketing, etc. My workshop will be covering what NO OTHER WORKSHOP has covered. Backing up and archiving your digital assets.

I’m really excited to be doing this. I feel there’s a pretty big demand for this and photographers need to have a better understanding of backing up and archiving their photos. It really is more than just burning a DVD or copying files to a hard drive. 10+ years in the IT industry has to have something worth sharing in the photography community, right? Here’s an overview of what I’ll be covering:

• Why your computer and hardware are important to your workflow.
• Your hard drive will fail.
• Learn how to set up your Mac/PC for optimal performance.
• Keeping your “other” files safe.
• The three Rs in keeping your data safe.
• Putting it all together – the minimum, intermediate and advanced setup for data storage.
• Ways to automate your backups.
• Care and feeding of your backup system – ongoing maintenance.

Also, if you still don’t have a consistent, AUTOMATED, backup and archival system in place, I am looking for a few photographers for case studies. Please shoot me an email if you’re interested in participating!

Let me know what you think or if you are interested in attending by leaving a comment below. If you find this workshop of value to other photographers, please retweet my post. Thanks!

EDIT: The official details of the workshop will be posted on my workshop page: http://www.alfredbertulfo.com/for_photographers/workshops/

I got nothing as far as a photo for this post so you get my son for your viewing pleasure….
