In their later years (mine too) I traveled to some pretty interesting parts of the world with Eddie Taylor and Bill "Weenie Beanie" Staton. I loved them and their families like life itself.
Anyone who knows me knows I always have a camera or cameras with me. Consequently, I have a plethora of pictures of them that you, my friends, might enjoy seeing, Eddie doing the hula in Hawaii, Beanie and his wife, Norma, in Bora Bora, the Yucatan or Japan.
What I need is an explaination as to the best way and place to install them. Any helpers out there?
Keep it nice. Alfie
 
Photobucket is okay or shutterfly. One of those websites could help, but I am the wrong one to show you how.
 
If you have a photo scanner which many printers do then scan your photos so they are .jpg images and then upload them to Photobucket. Look forward to seeing them. :smile:

I would suggest PMing Sean Leinen or CaliRed.....
..but keep your thesaurus handy...:shocked:
 
Flickr is also a good alternative. You can scan the photos and use Picasa to add exif data to the photos such as descriptions, dates , locations, etc. Both Picasa and Flickr are free but Flickr offers an inexpensive pay plan which gives you more storage and a few other goodies.

I highly recommend getting old photos on the web with complete descriptions. Genealogy is a hobby of mine and I'm always hearing of folks losing all of their photos because of a natural disaster or computer failure. And how many old photos are lost because the family descendents weren't interested? :cool:

Alfie,

I'm friends with the Duck (SJD):smile: so he can vouch for me (is that a good thing?)... I would be more then happy to take care of your photo situation. Whether it be scan your photos, or put them online, or remotely show you how to do it.

I am always very interested in getting photos up for the world to enjoy, rather then have them gather dust somewhere. I just know there has to be a ton of pictures out there, that are fantastic glimpses into the pool world of yesteryear by some of our favorite players back then, that will never see the light of day.

It's a passion of mine also. I just added photo scanning to my business and immediately picked up a contract to process several thousand photos.

My wife thinks I'm nuts (she's probably right) but the old photos in Cracker Barrel fascinate me. I wonder if they're original photos or copies that are distributed to multiple locations. But more importantly, I wonder about the descendants of these folks who have never seen an image of great grandma.

And every time I see a box of family photos or family films for sale, I cringe.

Please folks, label your original photos with everything you know about the subjects. And scan, scan, scan. You have an obligation to future generations. :cool:
 
Alfie, Ditto to the endorsement of Calired -- he has helped me (and many others) a ton!
