I am into preservation and then sharing around the world“I am leaving an electronic legacy for the world”
I use Picasa: www.picasaweb.google.com/lsmithtwin (2330 albums, 1.2 million photos)
Scanned over 40,000 slides One of my first slide shots 1964
I have a collection of over 2,000 glass negatives from the 1890s. These have all been scanned and the world can enjoy them on Picasa. 4x5 up to 11x14
A print off an 8x10 glass negative…so different from today.
When my mother-in-law, Ruth Reed Boorman died we found boxes of slides, negatives, documents and photos from 1890 on. I now have 10,000 scanned images
from her collection for the family. They are all preserved and shared.
Most of my electronic world is found on 4 Websites

Get Organized!I encourage you to organize your
photos so you can find them. Get a system. Put them into
folders. This is the system I use for almost 2,000,000 photos. My computer has been upgraded to 16 terabytes, filled 3 terabytes.
Some samples of how I use photography1-My son called me and asked if I had any photos of my 18 year old granddaughter, Kaitlyn Smith. In 3 hours I had 1200 photos, 18 years of her life. Probably a record for a grandpa. Had many more.
2-To honor my wife Helen Smith’s, 70th birthday I put together an album of 3,000 photos. It took me a year of sorting through 2,000,000 photos.
3-I have matched up objects in my folks’ photos to objects we still have today…the Museum Project.

The Helen Project 1945-2015Sorted through 1.5 million photos for 3,000 photos over 70 years
1945 – The first photo of Helen. When Helen’s mother died we found thousands of negatives in boxes in her apartment. They have all been scanned. 10,000 images
One of the houses that Helen was raised in. The snow blew through the cracks. She remembers the outhouse well.
1963 – Graduation photo 1963 – I started taking her photo, been shooting Helen for 52 years
She has been an active girl
Helen Mae Boorman’s albums cover 70 years, 3000 photos, a world record for a husband
