So I went and bought a new computer back in October. Another Mac of course, but since I have my iPad I haven't really gotten around to play with this one (writing this post from my computer). I've moved my music and pictures and docs but haven't really organized them or anything yet. Then yesterday I decided to play with it. Stumbled upon iPhoto and voila! thousands and thousands of face recognitions later I'm in a situation where basically every face that I knew the name of, is named.
Now ever since I got my first digital camera I've been, how should I say this, click happy. It doesn't matter if the picture was good or not, the memory card could hold them all. Which is why I have 38 Gt's of pictures. While in USA, I was usually the designated photographer, so I have pictures from all kinds of family functions, games we attended to, the cats, Carly, x-mas, apartments, random street views etc. And since I've been back to Finland and have had the cats, I think I have at least 10 gigs of pictures of Dunkin Donuts and Brooklyn.
According to iPhoto, I have 9813 pictures. Little excessive, dontcha think? I have 467 pictures of Carly, 454 pictures of T, 468 pictures of Sox and Bailey, 850 pictures from different Pride Parades (in the US), and 1919 pictures of BK and DD! oops! Needless to say, some of that is going bye bye.
iPhoto's a funny little app. For instance, it asked if DD's and BK's mama cat was perhaps Heidi? It suggested female pictures to be male, suggested that perhaps a picture of Jane Lynch was Candice and sometimes didn't recognize the same picture as someone I had just identified with.
There are pictures from all kinds of family functions and T's got a huge family with all the extended members as well. And I've met some of them several times but am having trouble recalling their names. SO when some of them started jumping out frequently, I decided to name them. Or maybe rename them? I don't know. I have this feeling that this one cousin of Judy's is Bob, or maybe he's the husband of her cousin, but whatever, he's Bob now. Cannot for the life of me remember the wires name but whatever. TRied to recall cousin Erin's brothers name for the longest time as well and finally did. His mug has a name now too.
Now J&J's wedding...was kinda click happy that day so there's a LOT of pictures, both have BIG families and the wedding party was huge. I don't think I've ever been formally introduced to half of the bride's maids, so I was thinking I could just name them as Hot bride's maid #1, #2...? Same with the dudes.
The only thing I don't like about this is that it doesn't recognize cat faces. Like what the fuck? It would be so nice to name all 4 of my cats in a way that whenever I just wanted to remember Sox and Bailey, I could just click the file with their names and the pictures would be there.
Oh yeah, let's be real, it's not 38 gigs of pictures, I have a ton of video there as well. My little furry terrorists can be really entertaining. If I can get down to about 25 gigs, I'd be happy.
In case this is the last post of the year, which it very well might be...hope you have a happier 2013.
