Here's a collection of various pictures,some taken with a digital camera,some taken with the trusty Nikon,printed and scanned. Once a certain critical mess- er,"mass",is reached,organization and categorization will be inflicted upon the collection.

Germination of A New Photo Album Organization

Here are some directory listings of photos that haven't been added to the lists above. They're just directories,but the directory names and filenames are fairly descriptive. Eventually I hope to have all the photos reorganized into directories listed below. Once I've done that,the lists below will go away and I'll go to some fancy-schmancy web photo album generating software. Until then,just browse the directories and enjoy the photos.
