<p>Thank you all so much for the great info. This is all 21st century stuff, like me just getting my first smartphone. I like the idea of the SSD drive and am amazed at how small they are. These or storing on a large capacity SD card seems to be the way to go. I think I will experiment with the cloud as well. A number of friends that travel to places like I go have lost everything to theft. I have been lucky so far, but being gone a year will definitely increase the odds. So one SSD drive for my spouse, one for me in separate bags and the cloud. Perhaps a large capacity SD card in my money belt as well and should be covered pretty well. I think I will take the laptop out to the edge of my wireless connection at home and see how it does uploading a 16GB SD card with a couple of hundred RAW images on it.</p>

<p>Thanks Dieter and thanks for the attached threads. I will check them out. I get nervous when I get too many images in my camera. The camera is the most likely thing to be stolen when I'm out and about, although I use a stainless steel lined neck strap, but still, one careless moment and its gone. I can live with a stolen camera and 300 or less images going with it, but I can't live with the potential of over 2000 image lost with larger SD cards. I look forward to reading the threads you attached.</p>

<p>Thanks Charles. If I were on the road in the USA I would have lots of alternatives for managing my images for a year and space wouldn't be much of an issue. I would likely be in my camper and be backing up to an external hard drive or I might even take 60 SD cards. I will, however, be out of the country, visiting parts unknown. Even in parts unknown, you can periodically get a descent WiFi connection at a hotel in the middle of nowhere. I'm starting to think I should bring a solid state external back up drive (1Ter) and back up to that and to the cloud when possible. I don't think it would kill me to carry the external drive. The thing that worries me about not using the cloud is losing the external drive or having it stolen. Not comfortable mailing SD cards home from the edge of the earth. Thanks for the quick response.</p>

<p>Normally my trips last about six weeks and I keep my 16GB SD cards in my money belt with the 300 or so RAW files. I travel light and have never taken a laptop with me and may spend days or weeks off the wire. I have been doing this for years without incident. However, my spouse and I are planning to wander the globe for a year and this method would not be practical. I plan on getting a very small laptop (windows based) ,mainly for writing. But, am starting to think about using that as a conduit for uploading images to iCloud or some similar service. I have test uploaded RAW images to iCloud with no problem. I would feel better not having to worry about lost or stolen SD cards. I would likely need 60 SD cards to get me through a year of travel. I don't want to take that many and would think I would have less to worry about if each card was uploaded to the cloud when full, format the card and move on. I know there is still an element of risk here. Comments or suggestions about cloud storage and/or options for traveling this long would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance.</p>

Very off beat shot Jack. I like offbeat. Well done. Categorizing photographs is somewhat annoying to me, especially the "Fine Art" category. Photography is art regardless of whether it's from the street or from the mountains of Patagonia (or it could just be crap, but you know what I mean). Try posting and "Environmental Portrait" in the Portrait gallery and see the lack of interest you get. I must say, I don't embrace the categories on PN or most other places. However, I do have them on my own website. But I created and described them for my own work. One size does not fit all. Here is a link to my gallery page if you are interested. http://www.wideawakephoto.com/galleries One last thought on categorizing that is somewhat related. Often when entering a juried exhibit you are asked if you are a pro, semi pro or amateur photographer. I believe your work should stand on its own and have nothing to do with your resume, your work, what school you went to or where you have exhibited before. I started answering all the questions on entries to juried exhibits with "my work stands on its own". Needless to say, I have had little luck with my work being accepted of late. :-) I agree that categorizing a photograph on PN should be optional. -

Thank you for taking the time to comment. -
Excellent "puzzle picture". It's easy on the eyes, so I can stare at it for as long as I want and try to figure out what it is. Great image Jack. -
Thanks Mark. I took quite a few images of this ride. They were fine, but the smiling face looking directly at me made this one work for me.

OK maybe I see a little room for improvement. There is a little too much space in the upper left third of the image (to me). You can't crop it, because you need the top of the window to hold things together. I would suggest burning in the upper left a bit. Still an amazing photograph. -
Just perfect ! What else can I say. Great job Svetlana.
