Watch now | Kathy Stone's program of mentorship, coaching, and brainstorming over the handling of a collection of photos. Today's session focused on viewer questions like photo back/front links.
Thanks for a great Kathy’s Corner. There is no end to the possibilities of how to arrange one’s pictures.
When I did my Mom’s pictures I only scanned the backs when there was a large group of people whom I would know then but maybe not remember now. It could be her UCW group or our Annual Picnic. I scanned chronologically so the back was the next picture in that year etc.
Kathy your background picture was super, is it in the Rocky Mountains near us in Calgary?
Happy Easter weekend to all our Projectkin around our world.
Leave it to a photo master to have found the perfect balance of symmetry and light. Notice how good the light is on her face, in perfect balance with the photo. Then there's that subtle local angle with the Canadian Rockies... Impressive as always.
I finally got to watch this video. The bit about Butchart Gardens really struck a chord with me. We travelled to Canada in 2002 and took along our "you beaut" new digital camera. We were in digital heaven! What a learning curve that was. In an attempt to store more photos on the SD card, we switched the camera to a lower-resolution setting. Oh Boy! What were we thinking!? You don't know what you don't know.
Thank goodness we also had a trusty point-and-shoot camera and took a 'massive' 3 rolls of 36 film photos. We even had duplicate prints made. Oh yea. These photos are in a traditional scrapbook album, while the digital photos, although still on my computer in my go-to digital software, Historian, are just plain awful. Now that you've mentioned downloading some from the internet, maybe I'll do that; then again, there's no people in them, or people I know, so maybe not! I might even delete those awful photos and free up some space. There are videos too of Niagara Falls, so I might have to keep those, too sad about the quality.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video and appreciate the insights provided.

Hi Linda
I must confess that was a Google meet background. It didn't have any information ( which in itself is another issue lol)
And yes there are many possibilities for organizing photos. Most important is to have one that makes sense to you, and that you be consistent.

Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! So very true - you don't know what you don't know!
