I complete my first pass through my Cross Island photos – several more passes to go

Finally, I completed my first pass through all of my Cross Island and related pictures. Considering that I returned home on September 19, you might wonder how it could take so long - that's just the first pass, narrowing it down to, what, I don't know, a few thousand pictures, anyway? I will sort through these again and again and again until finally I wind up with whatever I wind up with.

At the moment, I do not even have a venue to publish it, but I will get one. Uiñiq I hope. It really ought to be a Uiñiq. Kivgiq took my total Uiñiq budget through June 2014. I will have to see if I can get another budget. A year from now would be a good time to publish it, anyway.

Going through the pictures was wonderful – Kind of like living it all over again. When I went to bed last night, I had just one relatively small section of pictures left to go through, but I was just too tired. So I slept for maybe two hours, then woke up and futilely tried to sleep for a couple more hours. At 5 AM, I gave up, got up and finished the initial edit. Jim got up with me and joined me at the computer. He is good that way.
