Storytime

A few Thanksgivings ago, my family was going through photos in my grandparents house. At that time, there were 2 large tubs of photos.

These photos had a variety of photos, from mold to disintegration. Also, my relatives that knew who was in each photo were getting older, and forgetting some of the people.

So, I decided to begin digitzing these photos, and tagging who each person was.

My part

In that process, I've acquired a FastFoto scanner, and worked with my mom, aunts, uncle, and grandparents to tag each photo with the people in it and approximate time.

Each photo was uploaded to a PhotoPrism instance on my servers. Also, since I have a library of tagged people, it uses facial recognition to help tag future photos.

The photos are accessible to members of my family and I am working on sourcing more photos to scan, with the end goal of having the majority of my families photos digitized.

As it stands, I have just over 1000 photos in the repository.

Some of my favorite photos I've found are below
