On Saturday I finished moving all my photos from Flickr to Google Photos. I mentioned three phases in my August 11th post. As I mentioned, the first phase took six days and the second phase too fifteen days. Today I finished phase three. It took me one hundred and six days to relink all the blog posts.
This sounds like a lot but I didn't work on it every day. The first few weeks I maybe worked three or four times a week but I soon reduced that to only one day a week - usually on the weekend while I was doing laundry.
While it started out a little tedious I soon started looking forward to working on the transfer. I read through my old posts, remembering through pictures I'd forgotten I'd taken. I've done a lot and seen a lot since I've started Homer's Travels. A lot of emotions boiled up at times, both good and bad, happy and sad. A lot of life.
Now comes the hardest part of all this exercise: deleting my Flickr/Yahoo accounts. Google Photos is not very social at all and affirmation through Flickr likes and comments will be missed.
