[cool][blue][size 1]Watch carefully. Not once do my fingers leave my hand.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Glad you appreciate my photo archives. Like most of us, I only wish I had more pics of more times and places. Some of my best trips and most memorable catches remain only in the database of my memory. Unfortunately, that gets pretty cluttered and is not much helped by defragging. It also doesn't do worth a hoot at file transfers or prints.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I am sorta happy with the way my recent scanning and organizing project came out. I have vast albums of photos from the past (well, maybe half vast). I made it a point to go through and scan them into digital pics and organize them into folders by area, category, species, waters, etc. I also was smart enough to back them up on a CD when I finished the main project. Lost a whole bunch last year when my computer barfed.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The one downside of that extended trip down memory lane was that it reminded me how many "once in a lifetime" shots I never got. Just a suggestion from an old guy looking back...never leave home without a camera and always make sure you have film and/or fresh batteries and a memory card with space left on it. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]With the dropping costs and increased simplicity of the digitals these days, there can be little excuse for not capturing the magic moments of your family and fishing excursions. There are so many things you can do with digital images, for saving and sharing, that once you get involved you wonder how you ever got along with the old film boxes.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Anyway, thanks for the kind observations, Kent.[/size][/#0000ff]
