All those pictures!

On Friday of last week a friend and colleague, Doug Emerson published a short interview with me about getting pictures from a digital camera to the web. His past newsletters, "The Profitable Horseman", can be found at http://www.profitablehorseman.com/articles.htm

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, but in the process was surprised that so many folks were having trouble with the basics of getting pictures "web friendly", so I wrote a really brief tutorial on the subject. Let me know if it is helpful.

For anyone that has suggestions on managing pictures and images, I'd like to hear about it! I have a lot of experience managing several hundred thousand images at a time from my previous work with a Fortune 500 company, but those kind of systems are a bit out of reach of the everyday horseman.

I'd like to develop some simple, easy to use systems for those of us that have a few hundred or even a few thousand pictures to manage. I will be looking around for an inexpensive package for this. If nothing jumps out, I may develop a small database just for this purpose, as I need it to manage my tack shop images.

First, I'll look to the Drupal ecommerce modules. I talked about Drupal (an "Open Source" project) in my previous post. If anyone has experience with this, email me and maybe we can chat about it.
