Every picture tells a story
The digital photo world contains many surprises; take the EXIF standard as an example. The newer cameras embed a whole set of data in every exposure, that allow a computer to later display the details on date and time, photo resolution, exposure and lens details and other odd bits that photographers have always espoused as good technique, if only one had a secretary along to record the details as the world was captured.
One of those “idea guys” has developed a free database program that does an inventory of your digipics, and then allows queries on this content, both the EXIF page and more subjective details (Beautiful sunset with seagulls number 107). The whole thing runs under the same “foundation” that supports this blog; Apache, MySQL, PHP.
Another weekend is beginning. Today is the first day of the Quebec Carnaval. When I first arrived here in the autumn of 1984, I asked people how they found time to do anything else when the good times were rolling. All, without exception, replied that the novelty lasted for one season, and then it became one more reason to avoid going into Vieux Quebec. I can only echo, “How true it is!!!”
