Why I shouldn't delete images just to delete them...

Note to self: Don't delete old images if you have them displayed on the web somewhere!

So I got an email from an editor of Complex Magazine and she wanted to use one of my images of the Long Beach skyline for an article in the June/July issue. So when I started to look for the image in my giant library of images I couldn't find it. So it turns out that a couple of weeks ago I was clearing out my hard drive space and trashing all the old worthless pictures I kept I trashed that one too. Apparently I didn't think very highly of it but a magazine editor did...DOH!

So now I have to drive out there to reshoot it (even though I secretly want to because I have a much better camera now) at midnight because she has a deadline in a couple days. Well, work is work eh? Gotta take what I can get.

Anyways so the moral of the story: keep a back up somewhere just in case someone likes something I don't...

Here's the image:
