sorting photos

Like many people over the years I have uploaded photos to various sites across the internet.

Unable to track down some precious photo files a couple of weeks ago I decided it was time to reclaim and organise my photographic history.

Through Google searches (and some lucky guesses at forgotten passwords) I tracked down accounts with Flickr, Kodak Gallery, Photobox and Picassa together with the ubiquitous Facebook and dug out old CDs and negatives.

The most exciting find so far has been three sets of negatives, that included pictures from after my graduation ball together with the pictures of my post graduation road-trip by Greyhound bus across the US  (see my earlier blog: usa coast to coast by greyhound bus).

Seattle - from my road trip

6,720 photos later, I now have all my photos dating back to 1998 (when I graduated) organised in iPhoto on my Mac and backed up at Picassa Web Albums.  

My next target is a trip to my parents to track down earlier photos (hopefully) stored in their loft....
