Organize old photos, digital photos, print and frame photos, etc.

I finally got pictures from my wedding reception into an album! Still have vast amounts to organise though!

My laptop died and I have been really hectic at work – I’ll maybe take some of these offshore with me and try and get some done in the evening but to be honest, I’d rather just watch some UFC and head to be.

(1987)

Since I’ve been dabbling in facebook & finding myself in touch with all sorts of wonderful people from my past, I’ve been scanning & re-photographing old photos to share.

Yesterday I set up a couple of online albums for some of the pictures from the 80’s. Like Old School: The Photobooth Sessions, many of which have been glued in my old journals for 20 years.

Nostalgia.

Ever since Flickr offered the ability to organize photos in collections (instead of just sets), I’ve been wanting to wrap my head around it all & start setting some up so I can do a mass upload (apologies in advance if I’m flooding anyone’s feed).

Over the last few days I finally started. It’s going to take a long time to sort it all out, but at least I’ve begun the process: laid down some of the groundwork, created a few collections & sorted my sets into them, uploaded a mass of new pictures and nearly finished naming them all.

One problem is that I have so many photos; probably 10X what I currently have online. A lot of them (especially the older ones) are on the crappy side, I’m not sure how to go about it or which to exclude. Half are of Isak too, I wonder if I should only overwhelm interested family members with those ones.

I suppose I can always delete the ones I don’t want.
I feel good about finally starting this.

I really need to sort though them all. I have quiet a few empty albums. I also need to sort though the photos on this computer. They’re so messy. Hopefully on my off day I can make some progress with this goal. I really want to order them by years taken. Some of my photos though,..I have no clue where they were taken. Wish me luck! :p

I’ve now spent countless hours spent organizing, printing, framing, scrapbooking, tagging & uploading.

Since this is ongoing, I’m changing it to “do again”.

tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & tagging & so on and so forth until these little words that provide keys to my never-ending abyss of images cease to have meaning.

On & on. More things organized, tagged, uploaded, printed, glued, framed… It’s neverending, but at least I’m trying.

it will never be done, and frankly i dont care anymore. i have way too many, it’ll be entertaining to try to go through them all when i’m old. give me something to do while i wait for senility.

I’ve managed to tag over 1,400 pictures since yesterday.

I started adding them with the keyword function in Picasa, so the more I do the easier it gets, it’s just going to take a very long time to finish them all. And I’ll make sure to do the new ones right away.
