My Photos

Like most people of my age I have done a fair bit of traveling. Besides the travel I have stayed at various places for various amounts of time. As is the general tendency, one proceeds to associate memories with each such place. This collection is far from complete and there are a few reasons for this:
   1. I purchased a camera for myself only in the year 2001. Hence there aren't any photos of mine that predate 2001 (you will find some photos taken by others, though).
   2. I purchased a scanner in 2002, so I have always had a backlog of photos to scan.
   3. I purchased a digital camera in 2004, so the dual steps of taking photos and scanning them were eliminated pretty late in the day.
   4. I am too lethargic to scan photos / upload them from my digital camera, hence photos find their way to this site once in a fairly long while.
That being said, here is what I have.
Someday I am going to build a Geo-Tagging page for the photos, just for the heck of it. I just need the time for it. Also, I dabbled with the idea of creating my own photo manager, but I wasn't very successful. I switched to Gallery, but I was not very happy with the level of difficulty configuring it. So finally I switched to ZenPhoto, which made things a lot better.
