Personal photo archiving project
Over the years I've gathered pictures I've taken, pictures other have sent me, and unceremoniously dumped them into envelopes and boxes. Over time, I aggregated these small caches into one large box. Last night I started working on scanning these photos, eventually to upload them into Flickr.
(One of the reasons I got a pro account was so that I could use Flickr as a personal archive for my photos. At some point I'll order CDs (or a DVD, once that becomes an option) of them to have another archive.)
Expect to see a lot of new pictures appearing here over the coming days and weeks. At some point I'll be going back and adding additional metadata to the pictures. I want to make sure I get all the notes that were written on the back of each photo captured. I also need to estimate when the photos were taken and add that data in as well. Lots of work, but well worth it, I think.
