Such pedestrian tasks are perfect for computers. I needed to rename thousands of meaningless DSC photos…īut who has the time to manually rename each of these files? I simply wanted to rename all the photos with the title “Switzerland” and a number counting each image sorted by the oldest on top.

I had a prodigious sum of images with arbitrary names in no useful order.Įach image had a “DSC_” prefix followed by cryptic string of four digits. How am I going to organize these voluminous photos on both memory cards? I’m convinced that the splendor of Switzerland is so majestic that if someone held a funeral against the jagged mountain backdrop of Interlaken, even the elegy would take on an uncanny sense of happiness.Īfter our euphoric experience overseas, my wife and I returned to New York and I popped my memory cards into my laptop. I captured everything I could crouching my body and contorting my head into awkward positions to frame the best pictures. Thank God I had my loyal Nikon D7000 slung across my shoulder loaded with two capacious memory cards. Wealthy people might feel a sense of entitlement but as my wife and I sauntered along cobble-stoned walkways, listened to the blithe laughter of children and inhaled the pristine mountain air, I became aware that this is one of the most serene places I’ve ever been in my life. The romantic architecture of Lucerne melted our hearts and the towering heights of Interlaken were mesmerizing.

It was beautiful! The bucolic splendor of Wengen (pronounced VEN-GEN) was ineffable.

Last year my wife and I visited Switzerland.
