This was after I started removing stuff - it was so bad that the status bar was actually red. |
Anyway, we all know that I like to take pictures. And I have this really bad habit of just dumping all of the pictures off of the camera and onto the computer and not doing anything with them. I don't delete the blurry ones or anything. I just dump and go.
I started going through the pictures tonight, which started in August 2008. I found so many duplicates - I would dump pictures one day, say 50 of them. Then the next day, when I dumped again, those same 50 would dump, along with another 50 or so. That didn't happen all of the time, but it happened quite often. So I started deleting - which meant going through folder by folder and looking at pictures. It really didn't take as long as I thought that it would to go through the 5 months of 2008 - but I still ended up with just over 4GB of pictures just for those 5 months. I have 4 more YEARS after that.
Anyway, when going through old pictures like that, there are sure to be a lot of uncovered gems.

*giggle* This is awesome! This is something you pull out on her first date.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
DeleteLove it! I have several of my youngest granddaughter rocking out and head-banging to some good classic rock. She loves it and I love filming her do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun! My kids love the old hair bands - gee, not sure where they get that from! LOL
DeleteRock. Star.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely!
DeleteI know the feeling. Even after I delete the blurry pics or unnecessary pics... I still had TOO MANY pics.
ReplyDeleteSo, I went out and bought an external harddrive with 1 Terabyte of space. It was about $100.... and wasn't in my budget... but, I love my pics... and to print all of them... would be over $100... so I figured it would even out... eventually.
LOL I picked up a couple of flash drives last night that were on sale, and a friend of mine has a drive that he might send to me - it's going to be a process, but at least it will be done. Then I just have to make sure that I don't lose the drives!
DeleteWE HAD A GOOD LAUGH. LOUD MUSIC,TWO SLEEPING THROUGH IT ALL AND BIG SISTER ROCKING OUT. OH FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. GRANNY
ReplyDeleteI know right? How they slept through it is beyond me...
