Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To obtain a new work station (laptop and docking station) which will: 1) replace outdated and antiquated equipment, 2) match my existing presentation laptop's operating system which will ease the sharing of files, images, and presentations, 3) switch to a more portable system which will more closely match my existing lifestyle and increase my mobility, which will enable me to explore new areas and places to photograph. The evaluation of this plan is fairly simple: 1) Has the new system increased my productivity and reduced unnecessary post processing time of images thereby giving more time to devote to image capture, image content, and ways of seeing? 2) By reducing or eliminating problems with a cross platform" operating system I am able to spend more time concentrating on my image content and meaning and less time dealing with the mechanics? 3) Has the new work station allowed me to continue producing work while my living situation is increasingly more mobile and therefore allowed me greater freedom to explore new places?"

Measurable Outcome(s)

I have a new computer system that is mobile.
