So I've decided it's about time to go through our zillion boxes of loose print photos and photo albums, and whittle them down to a number where they'll actually be useful. Digital photos are SO much easier to manage, mainly because they don't take up physical space, and I can catalog them through Cumulus so that I can find the ones I want easily.





I'm throwing out a LOT of print photos, mostly pictures that are close copies of ones I already have, or of events that I over-documented. I'm enjoying the process of going through all these photos, and try very hard to be ruthless when it comes to pitching the extra ones. I think we must have at least 50 photos of Sara in her high chair as an infant with food on her face, for example. :-)

Jeff's being very patient with me during the Great Photo Purge as I work my way through our piles of boxes, reminiscing over some of the photos way too long, laughing over some, crying over others. The photos of those no longer alive are especially dear to me.





I'll be posting some of my favourites on my Blatherings over the next while, partly because I know some of you will be interested, but also to as a way of forcing myself to start scanning these prints. :-)

Happy New Year's, everyone!
