Photo Organisation - By Decades

The photos are organised by decade and later by decade and general topics.

1800's - should be of interest to everyone. In amongst these photos are some great photos of Freda's parents, young Freda and her siblings.

1900's - we see photos of the Bilston, Hardy and O'Keefe friendship.

1910's - people start to smile for the camera and we see a very young Lowen Hardy.

1920 - 50's - the number of photos increases dramatically. Right through till the end of the 1950's we see many Bilston, Bettsworth, Cameron, Hardy and Clarkes in the photos.

1960's on are mainly Clarke photos with fewer Hardy's in the frame as the Hardy's left Melbourne for Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane.

Also look at the films and other resources.


Photo Organisation - By Person, Family & Topic

In 2022 I started using software called “NeoFinder” which has great abilities to deal with photo metadata, such as captions, headlines, peoples names and keywords. If you have used what is termed a DAM - Digital Asset Manager, such as Adobe Bridge, iPhoto, Photo and more, then you should have a look at “NeoFinder” at https://www.cdfinder.de/index.html.


What “NeoFinder” has allowed me to do is easily rate the photos and create targeted photo albums where relevant information is exported to “Affinity Publisher” which is similar to “Adobe Indesign” to create the PDF albums.


This all sounds pretty boring, but I can with a little work, say create an album showing say all Clem Hardy photos with a rating of  greater than 3 stars ( > ***) with a car, or all photos Philip Clarke with a motorbike. So, if you have any suggestions for a targeted album, let me know.


In the meantime I’ve created some Topics shown on the right.

Navigation

Navigation should be straight forward. 

Pick the Period on the left, or Topic on the right and then select the photo album. This will open a PDF in a new window which can be viewed in place or downloaded for later viewing. Higher resolution PDFs can be made on request for better printing. Individual photos can also be distributed.
