Q and A Photo With Paul Atkins
Summary: With your host DJ Paine of the Black Market Photo Podcast Network, we talk to Paul Atkins of Atkins Technicolour every Tuesday to get YOUR technical questions about being a working photographer. n 1993, fresh out of a Bachelor of Business, Paul Atkins took the easy path and began working for his family’s company AtkinsTechnicolour, taking a 60 year business into it’s third generation of family involvement. This was just in time for the company to enter the digital squeeze that Paul championed. Atkins was quick to pick up the technology, and with leadership from Kodak brought Adelaide into the new age. AtkinsTechnicolour’s success is purely based on it’s excellent relationships with staff and clients, through the introduction of colour printing to Adelaide by John Atkins in the 1960s to the latest in digital techniques, the company has always held it’s customers’ hands tightly. “A rising tide floats all boats” is the company motto. Paul is State Rep for PMA in South Australia, President at Association of Professional Colour Imagers (APCI) and state council member for South Australia at Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). Lectures on Marketing, Colour Management, Adobe Lightroom and Digital Asset Management (Archiving digital files). And son to John Atkins (the easiest job of all).

CLOUD STORAGE!? What the heck?? This week we just scratch the surface of backing up and storage in the mysterious cloud.... new office printer finally for DJ! Cloud Storage? Paul Mentions OTIXO as a cloud storage aggregation service. And the difference between "Back up" and "storage"; Back up is the incremental mirroring of your computer, applications, settings, and working files to either a local hard drive through programs such as Acronis Tru Image (Win), Time Machine (Mac), or Paul's Mac favourite, SuperDuper (Mac). Storage is the place where files your finished digital files end up, it needs to be a system that protects your work for the long term, and allows you access to the files. Peter Krough is the leading thinker on storage with his DAM book that proposes a 3,2,1 strategy. 3 copies of every file, in two forms (e.g., cloud and hard drive), and one in another place. Do not confuse the two. You need both Cloud offers good backup and sharing, but it is not fast enough not long-term enough to consider for good storage for photographers.
