Photo Sharing I had a bit of a revelation over the weekend. I had an idea which seemed brilliant to me, and hopefully it sounds like a good idea to a bunch of my friends.

You see, I don't like the shrunk-down versions of photos that people share with one another online. If I want to print it out...it won't look as good as the original. That's the reason why I wrote the program for my website after camping...to share full quality pictures. I never really made use of that program...and I've stopped updating my website in favor of my blog as well.

Anyway, on to the idea. I know there are tons of pictures out there that I would love to get my grubby hands on. Pictures of friends kids. Pictures of my wife and I that other people took. The best pictures that other people have of themselves.

So, I want to organize a giant photo trade. This is so much easier than ever before. We have no need to print off doubles. That's because this trade is going to be 100% digital. All that has to be done is throwing a bunch of pictures on to a cd. At the minimum do that once and I (or somebody else) can make more copies for you. At the most find out how many people will be part of the trade and burn that many copies of your picture cd. In the end, each participant should end up with like 6 or 7 new cds of pictures. Of course some of the pictures will seem useless...but I'll guarantee that some real gems will emerge from your new stack of pictures.  ¶ 10:16 AM
