Old Collections

Over the years I’ve tried various tools and techniques to get my pictures accessible on the internet so I can share with friends and family. I’m still struggling to find the best way to organize them. This blog is my latest attempt; here are some links to previous endeavors, some more successful than others.  The most striking impression I get now, looking back, is how small the early photos were – it seemed perfectly reasonable to scan a photo with a 640×480 resolution! A lot of these are still hosted on my old non-https site so you may get a warning. I will eventually rebuild all these pages using a modern tool.
