Finally, we’re photo-tastic again!
I’m happy to report that for the first time in about five or six weeks, I’ve uploaded pictures to our photo gallery. We had taken so many pictures over the holidays that the task of getting even a sampling of them onto the website seemed dauting. Enter Picasa2, a free photo manager from our friends at Google. I downloaded it out of sheer curiosity, but it has turned out to be a useful tool for sorting through the heaps of pictures that Tony loves to take on our new camera using the “quick multiple shots mode.” 
If you are a digital camera user, I highly recommend Picasa. It will index all the photos and movies on your hard drive, give you a few simple image-editing tools to spruce them up, and allow you to select and group pictures for ease of printing, uploading or posting. I’m sure it even has a few other features too that I haven’t discovered yet.
Without further ado, here are the new albums for you to enjoy:
Stonebrook Staff Christmas Party, December 2004
Madeline Album from Late December 2004
Christmas Morning in St Cloud
Faithwalkers Conference
Our New Years Eve Party
Snow Football on January 5th, 2005
Jason and Leah’s Wedding
Madeline Album for January, 2005 (with pics taken thru yesterday)
I actually didn’t quite get through all the pictures…I still have other family Christmas pictures to sort through and upload a few highlights. Now that this glut of pictures is up in the gallery, I should be able to keep up better and post on a more regular basis once again. Happy Viewing!
