Wow! Didn't expect to see this thread again!
But thanks! And yeah, I like telling the stories of how the images were created and processed. I figure that's primarily of interest to other photographers -- and probably a minority of those -- but I still like including those things where I can. Images can and do speak for themselves often enough, but I can't count the number of times I've looked at someone else's shots on Flickr or elsewhere and wished they had included some sort of context about the shooting situation or the processing or both. But maybe that's just because I love to read!
I still have a lot of images to finish processing and upload at some point, both from my solo trip and many others. Work has just gotten in the way again the last month or so, but I'm itching to get back to it.
I'm hoping to take another solo trip sometime this summer -- we'll see how it goes!

Yes, I meant gigabyte. That's about four times as large as anything else I've ever attempted to wrangle. So far, saving and other operations take quite a while but my Mac Pro hasn't thrown in the towel. But now we've determined that the file must be downsampled in order to print -- but because it is full of tiny details, it needs to go to full RGB first, which is going to increase the file size dramatically. It might choke this time. I'm going to leave it it to think and hope it gets finished by Monday morning! Even if it does work, it will likely then take two hours or more to down-sample ...
