Here’s a random shot. . . My sister is so gonna kill me >:)
I had so many problems when I was using dial-up. Photos took forever to upload from my Yahoo email account to my Windows XP My Pictures folder. Plus dial-up kept on freezing on me for no apparent reason. I got discouraged.
Everything’s much quicker and easier with DSL. So far I’m roughly 80% done with processing my photos. True, it should really take less than a week for me to do them all. But I prefer to process them in batches. I group them according to a blend of the dates the photos were taken, the photographer, and (sometimes) the subject matter. My Pictures has a category called “Date Modified”. I process my photos from every few days to every few weeks so each group of photos have different dates on them. In that way if I decide in the future to make new folders for them I can recognize photo groupings. I just want to avoid future problems and make things easier for myself.
Plus there are two motivating factors for getting this done besides being organized. For so many reasons I need to start my own blog with photos. I’m starting to recognize that 43things is not the best site to put up long rambling entries, and I need a forum for that. I’ve told myself that once I’m 99% done with this digital photo project then I will get myself a camera.
