In the old days, we’d print our photos and hopefully write identifying information on the back. Some folks would add them to albums. Then print photos became old-fashioned and digital images became popular. We took thousands of new photos and scanned the old. Our hard drives and cell phones are full of photos with no data. Finding what we want is often like a horror movie. Convenient to carry all of them around but if we can locate the exact image we want, then we’re in trouble. T...

In the old days, we’d print our photos and hopefully write identifying information on the back. Some folks would add them to albums.  Then print photos became old-fashioned and digital images became popular. We took thousands of new photos and scanned the old. Our hard drives and cell phones are full of photos with no data. Finding what we want is often like a horror movie. Convenient to carry all of them around but if we can locate the exact image we want, then we’re in trouble.  There is a solution. 

You’ve heard about MemoryWeb on The Photo Detective Podcast now learn how digital organizing works and how MemoryWeb can help.  It’s the digital photo organizer created by genealogists for genealogists. 

In this episode, I announce a three-part Masterclass on Digital Photo Organizing using MemoryWeb*.

In preparation for the Digital Photo Organizing, I share tips on how to weed your digital files, snapshots, and slides. It’s not horrible to discard certain pictures, but there should be a plan. And it’s important to have some criteria before tossing for tossing sake.

Charing Cross Mystery, The by J. S. Fletcher (1863 - 1935) LibriVox Here's another intriguing mystery by J. S. Fletcher, centering on why a former high-level police official was murdered, and on whether - and if so how - the murder was linked to two glamorous and high-profile sisters, one of whose photo was found in the dead man's pocket. As usual, Fletcher creates a number of different detectives -- a lawyer, his assistant, several policemen, a police spy, and even the dead man's granddaughter -- following various lines of inquiry. These lines converge rapidly in the last few chapters, when the author lets the reader weave them together into a coherent whole: the solution to the mystery. Summary by Kirsten Wever The Photo/Video Show The Photo/Video Show Get the latest photography news and updates! Tomás. Tomás. On stage since I was 8 years old with my family, writing songs since I was 13 (We Must Let Go) and continuing to do so today. That's me (second from right) in the cover photo on my profile page. I have a lot of fantastic memories and have made a lot of lifelong friends because of music. I love the fact that I've been blessed with the ability to sing and write and now to be able to record it and showcase it here. I'm in Paso Robles , CA - and I am searching for a band to jam with and do some club dates. If you're interested or know of someone that's looking for a singer, hit me up. Almost all the songs on this site were written by me, me and my brother, or me and whoever is listed. The cover songs are clearly credited accordingly. I hope you enjoy my stuff.Thanks for checking me out!
