Nov 24, 2020 - Evolution of keeping and sharing our photos

Before about 2004, our cameras were film, and we had our film developed and kept our photos in albums.  

Around 2004 until 2007, we had our film developed and also put on a CD.  Then we could put slideshows up on the internet.

Starting in about 2007 we went to digital cameras.  In 2007 we started the blogs (and use Flickr as well for the slide shows).  At first we had several layers of photos - all that we kept, grouping all the photos by site, highlights, and specialty albums.  

Eventually we we went through a couple of iterations of organizing and displaying our photos to get to what we do now - photos and text in the blog to tell the story of our trip, and photos in specialty albums that we like and want to keep, but keep them in the specialty albums to avoid having too many in the blog.  We keep:

a. All very good photos.

b. All interesting or unique photos. 

c.. And photos that tell the story of our trip or remind us of the places, people, and experiences we saw and had on our trip.

In 2017 and 2018 we had our physical albums scanned, and no longer have the physical photos.  We do have several boxes of loose photos we have yet to go through. We think at least some of those were left over from the albums or were already scanned.  So those will be dealt with quickly.  The rest may take a while to go through.
