Ok so the previous idea was great, the nokia, the bluetooth GPS and the 20 steps to geo-tagging an image when I get home. I had it all planned out. No, really I did. We took a drive (5 hours) to Quebec City last weekend. Great weather, great place. Among other things, I wanted to test my previous write up. Turned on the GPS, started the track record on the nokia, and went on walking and taking photos... It is only later on, when I got back home 2 days later that I realized that the GPX file generated by the nokia app had locked and was corrupted. All the points had the same coordinates. No good.

There is a tug-o-war in my head about the constant evolution of photography. I am sometimes impressed and sometimes depressed by all the emerging new technologies. I haven't quite pin-pointed my dilemma but I think I am closing in on some clues that would allow me to explain myself to... well... myself. There is an emotional attachment to knowledge acquired through experience, trial and error, successes and failures. You know, when you produce an image with limited means, and it turns out to be a great piece of work, something that at the time, you know it cannot be reproduced?. That is how I felt...
