From Film, album created on 16 Oct 2025

Before 1999, all we had was film. Both my wife and I were avid photographers when we were (separately) teenagers. When we married in 1981, we set photography aside. Eventually we bought a film point-and-shoot camera. FINALLY, 1999 came around and we tried a digital camera. The rest is history. Meanwhile we have scans of various film images, including my long-time enjoyment of Agfachome slide film.

South Dakota, album created on 30 Sep 2025

Well, we've lived here full-time since 2021. Had better set up an album for photos taken in this area of the US.

Thames 1993, album created on 02 Aug 2025

We hired a boat and cruised up and down the Thames, almost as far up as Oxford, and as far down as Hampton Court. These were scanned from the original prints, quality varies.

Recently, we were able to view #4012 at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania. In addition to "museum" examples, since the re-start of #4014, we've managed to see this remarkable machine in action. For #4014, see: swansongrp.com/4014 The List: www.ipernity.com/doc/2543754/52504410 4004 (Holliday Park, Cheyenne, Wyoming) -- viewed in par…


  • Making Your Own Interactive Photo Album

    - 30 May 2023
    Not all of my photos are on Ipernity (nor on Flickr*). I have placed a number of photos on my personal website: swansonphotos.com/P/p and follow the links. There are all of our travel photos, as well as links to pages that describe our travels. After trying various systems to make static photo sites, I discovered HUGO. The above link points to a HUGO-created site, which includes some very nice interactive albums of photos on a specific "theme". * Flickr is threatening to remove mos…

  • Our Travels (Part 1)

    - 30 May 2023
    This is a not-quite-up-to-date list of travels involving my wife and myself. I've included travel experiences from before we met. Many of these travels involve photography. We are both avid amateurs, and really started taking lots of photos when digital cameras came out. Anyway on to the list (which is located at swansongrp.com/trips_all.html ) Hmm, seems that Ipernity has truncated the entire entry, so this is just part 1... - - - - - - Introduction -- First of all, this list of trav…
