Photos, Photos, Thousands of Photos

Sometimes, I come across something which seems like a great idea, but involves time and mental labor. Once I start on a project like this, I cannot stop until it is completed putting other more mundane things aside for the time being. I had heard of Shutterfly for saving pictures online and basically just ignored it, because I had all of my pictures backed up on Kodak Gallery. Something sparked my curiosity about Shutterfly, so I looked into it. What I could do there was different. I could basically build a web site of all of my albums in one place, where anyone could access them at any time without my having to invite them. They did not have to save a link to each album, everything was in one place. This was a wonderful idea, because not only do I take pictures for memories, I love sharing what we have seen through my personal lens and filtered thinking. Once I started uploading, I liked the results. What I did not anticipate was that this would take me a week of nine hour days, basically to upload all of the albums, sub-albums, and assorted photos. Some I do not like the resolution of, but this is because they were taken on APS film when we first left the States in 2001 and were transferred to CD while we traveled. This technology was new and scarce in Europe at that time, so the results were not always wonderful. Some albums like Ireland and England are short changed in the early years. When we left the States in 2001, we had only intended to be traveling for a year and had to carefully budget our money. I was a frugal photographer then; film was expensive, developing more so, and money was tight. It was not until much later when I made my first digital camera purchase that the world opened up and I could shoot to my heart's content, deleting later. Some of the albums, you would swear I never deleted a photo, but believe me I was usually heartless in trashing many photos. With that preamble, I invite you to see my photo site, which you can return to or sign up to an RSS feed to be notified when it is updated. I still have some Szeged photos to put on that are still on the camera. http://ryanandron.shutterfly.com/ If you lose the link, it will be in the sidebar on the right side of this blog.

Kodak Gallery Issues

Kodak Gallery turned out to be a problem for a number of people to access the photos, so I am trying this a different way. There are Picasa slide shows embedded into this blog, but if you still have problems and want to see our photos, go to www.budabab.com to click on the Photos link.

Picture Sharing

It took forever to upload all of the pictures into five different albums, but when I sent them out, Kodak Gallery grouped them into one major e-mail. People told me they could not get it to open. Most likely it was because there are over 1100 pictures total. Here are links if anyone wants to look at the photos. They are easier to open one at a time. Kodak Gallery will automatically open with a slide show. You will see a black screen with spinning symbols. They may appear to stop for a moment, but they will continue again to spin and then the first photo will be highlighted. You have the choice of watching as a slide show or individual photos. I tried repeatedly to hyperlink all of them, but Blogger is not cooperating. You may have to copy and paste the URL. Sorry!
