I am totally OCD-ing this whole transfer of photos to Flickr thing. After a couple days of lots of hours, I’ve moved all 6,000+ pictures. They’re all sorted into beautiful collections. You can look up my photos by date! On a calendar! There are oodles of sets (albums) which I am now reorganizing by date. And after some consideration, I’ve decided to tag my pictures. Because wouldn’t it be fun to see all the pictures I have of “crying” or “smiling” or “flowers” or “granny.”
This is going to be a long process. Bryan has called into question my sanity and/or preference for free-time activities. But I love my “toes” tag, and I’m looking forward to going through each and every one of those 6,000 pictures. This might take a while…
I too had photo taking and organizing fever once. But at some point a couple of years ago, I realized that I was more concerned with immortalizing the moment than being part of the moment. I have since relinquished my camera, only taking it when I am in the mood for some artsy shots, or when I need to document something for the grandparents.
i think your photo organization (and the photos themselves) are splendidly beautiful living at flickr. I feel satisfied looking at the progress you made, so you must be glowing with pride. What a perfect set-up. I’m so happy that photos-taking, editing and organization makes you happy……. you sure make others happy with your process and, of course, the photos!!
