I'm starting to feel the rubbing point in needing a new strategy for backing up photos. The strategy used to be that I would copy the pictures from the camera to the computer. Then I'd upload them to flickr as well as an external drive. But this is starting to break down now that we're getting devices that can upload directly to flickr / facebook.
I've got to make a decision: is flickr the authoritative source? Currently I think that there is pictures on flickr that are no where else due to me losing a drive. There are tools that will allow you to pull down all your pictures, but I'm not sure if it can just pull down the diff's. Ideally I'd love to just be able to cross reference any picture that I have on my computer with what's in flickr rather then re-downloading the ~ 17 k shots.
After I've figured out that issue, I think that I need to start looking at photo manipulation as more of a standard procedure. That way I could merge pictures like this with something like this and end up with a good picture. It seems like it's almost impossible to take a nice picture of groups more than 2. Ah well.
