Priting Pictures

I’ve been avoiding this for ages.  Way back when, I put a bunch of pictures in picture frames, and they are now hanging on the wall.  Well, I need to do it again, and well, I haven’t done it since 2002, so there are just thousands of pictures to choose from.  I’m trying to do it SOMEWHAT chronologically, but it’s hard, very hard.  I’ve ben known to take the occasional "professional" picture, in that *I* take them against a solid color backdrop, usually with Becca helping, however, we haven’t done that in quite awhile.  And we haven’t taken a family picture since Alex was born and even that was rather disorganized and you need two pictures to get the whole scene.  Not that I’m even up to when Alex was born.  I’ve only got pictures from just after Shabree was born, I think.  So I will probably want to begin there… but I do have years to span, so I’ve got to consider that as well.  Jerry and I both want our walls, especially up the stairs, covered in pictures, so it may not matter, because we can buy plenty of picture frames to do that with, and I can have years and years of pictures on the walls.  That’s a LOT of pictures though.  It’s so hard for me to choose too.  I have all these ideas on what photos I want to put in the frames.  Plus, I’ve got to import some of the "photo rolls " (folders) into my photo printing program.  I never really got around to doing that when I last did a reinstall.  I hadn’t really needed to, I was "done" wtih most of the pictures from those years.  I never deleted them off my computer, because the old photos barely take any room up, and I’m paranoid that the discs I have them on are going to fail or something.  I used to keep them on multiple hard drives, multiple computers, the whole works!  Now I have them on CDs, and I try every so often to mail off CDs to family members so they’ll have them too, in case anything should ever happen.  I need to do that.  I’ve been putting them up in my family blog so that family will have SOME pictures.  I post new ones nearly every day.  Between here and there, I feel like I’m just writing all day long.  I should get to some writing that’s paid already. 

I am going to wrap this up.  I’ve had two blogs going at once, a baby who won’t sleep, the picture project, and I just need to whittle down what I’m doing…
