Gridlock

I have been stuck in a gridlock for the last 24 hours. My Lightroom catalog decided it had.. had enough of my wicked ways.
So, there I sat in bewilderment staring at a little dialog box telling me my library was corrupt. Corrupt? Like politicians, pharmaceuticals and corporate America? What a shame.

I pillaged the web looking for other poor souls whose library had become corrupt. Amazingly enough doing a keyword search with "corrupt" did bring up some political news.
Finally on an O´Reilly´s Digital Media Blogs I did manage to find another victim of corruption. I followed his lead and 12 long hours later I am glad to say I am back on track and running smoothly.

Technology can be used for the advancement of productivity, but when it doesn't work properly it can also become the chains that bind you.

About the photo: This was taken at Gallop park in Ann Arbor. I was out shooting birds and noticed the lovely texture if the grill handle. I thought it was very interesting the way the metal had corroded from the fire. The grill and the box were welded together giving it the appearance of one of those clever spatial reasoning puzzles. I do love a good puzzle.
