photo migration

some time ago, i got big into pictures, big into memories, and keeping them.

i wasn't going to put too much effort into it, but i wanted to put in a solid effort to keep an archive of my photos from my life, if only so that i could look back at them over time and relive, or relearn.

this past weekend, i found out that a woman i know lost the last 6 years worth of pictures because she had them all on her hard drive, but didn't do any kind of backup... nothing burned to a disk, no saved SD Cards, no online albums.  this sucks.

i have been keeping a growing photo archive on Picasa, and decided to move it this weekend to an account i use more often.  i may actually keep the old account and lock it down just to have two places to store things, because on some level they are precious.

never again will i see my nieces small, i won't share those moments with friends again at home or traveling, i don't want to forget those who are no longer in my life and why and what i learned from having them in life, losing them to death, or letting them go.

i'm going to eventually have to post another blog as to how i keep my pictures archived, especially now that in so many ways it is SO simple.
