Rancho Leonero, DeBrown, Roosters….hell yeah AO. Great pix and another awesome trip in the bag. I have slept in that hammock before…lol
We use a Hewlett-Packard NAS that’s daisy-chained to an older USB 2.0 Western Digital hard drive. The HP NAS can talk to the all-Mac network just fine; I have it connected directly to a switch, which is then connected to an Airport Extreme, so all the computers on the network can get to it but it stays behind the firewall. (Not that anyone has proven any truly nasty Mac exploits yet).
The NAS can technically do mirroring, but I usually just keep a local copy of anything important and then back everything up to the NAS drive. Anything older than about 18 months I will move over to the NAS; my work may be a little atypical, though, because I tend to do a lot of shooting for a given story, then once that story’s run the likelihood of needing those photos again (for print purposes, anyway) goes way down. That’s the luxury and the curse of being primarily a writer rather than primarily a photographer.
I have only ever lost one important RAW file that I needed later, and the lo-res copy of that image that I still had ran in the Drake this month anyway (it’s uncredited; a shot of a fly looking at a live mayfly).

I think it’s safer to say that if you got published once, your skill would probably be apparent to a new editor.

In my experience, academic publication has basically no impact on one’s chances of being published in the commercial press.
