I finished with my photos from 2004 today. I started the day with 1,373 photos from that year in Apple Photos and ended with what I think are the best 373 – the other 1,000 live on in backups, but I doubt I’ll ever try to restore them.

Dinner tonight was a Pesach version of a favorite recipe, Panko Crusted Halibut. I used Kosher-for-Passover “Panko Crumbs” – they were made of potato flakes, potato flour, and some flavorings. I had accidentally bought barbecue-flavored crumbs; perhaps the plain version would have been better, but I doubt it. Oh, well!

I finally got back to working on photos today – I want to replace the photos in the Apple Photos library with the good ones I intend to keep, properly labeled and geolocated.

I got as far as my trip to Japan with the Technology Council of the IBM Academy of Technology in 2004; not only did I have my own photos in the collection, I had photos from two friends who were there, too. I’d already made one pass over the photos, but this time I was more selective. I also did more research on some of the photos from the day at the Toshugu Shrine in Nikko to figure out what buildings were in the photos – Google Image Search and Wikimedia Commons are powerful tools.

Needless to say, I didn’t finish. Tomorrow is another opportunity.
