Gargantuan Task with Pics

One of the biggest regrets (one of a million, mind you) that I have growing up was that I never took pictures of the people, places, and things in my life. Bummer, and once those moments are gone, you can never get them back.

Now that I’m a parent, I can honestly say that lack of pictures is a problem, especially with digital photography. We have thousands of pictures on our hard drive, where I’m sad to say the tend to languish.

I used to be diligent about making prints, which was a given before digital photography. As a result, we have dozens of photo albums of the kids growing up, and they are a scream. We love going back and looking through them. I even did a reasonably good job of staying on top of it when we went digital, though it was more challenging because there were so many more pictures to choose from.

And then, I slacked off and stopped. Well, the other day, we were looking through the pics and realized how cool it is to see the kids grow, and I resolved to start making prints once again. I probably have to sift through nearly 2000 pictures, but hey, I’ve got nothing better to do with my time, right?

I figure as along as I take it slow and don’t obsess over the big picture, no pun intended, I should be able to keep my sanity, which on a daily basis hangs by a thread, but that’s one tough thread.

I’m thinking it shouldn’t be too bad, but like most things in life, it’s easier said than done.

Until the next time, thanks for reading.
