[PRCo] Photos

[Jim Holland]

I arrange my photos by TrolleyCar Number, Route, Direction, Location, 
Date, and Photographer  (where that info is Known)  but I would also 
like to arrange them sequentially so it would be possible to take a ride 
on a Route~!~!~!~!     I do this in my photo albums starting with the 
Inbound//Outbound turning point, run to the outer end, and back inbound 
to downtown.     Some crosstown routes are in 3 different albums  --  
77/54 in North, East, and South~!~!~!~!
.
With Digital photos this can be done very nicely  --  copy all existing 
photos to a separate file  (thus leaving the original file in Car-# 
order as that is Very Handy at times)  and then use a 2-or-3-digit code 
for the route followed by a number from 1-500 for outbound and 501-999 
for inbound.     This way new photos could be  *inserted*  between 
existing ones.     Need to devise some kind of numbering system so this 
could be done.     Por-Ejemplo:::     04010 would be an outbound 
4-Troy-Hill car and 04600 would be 4-Troy-Hill Inbound car.      
Multiple photos in the same location can use the same number with a 
letter trailing - a, b, c and so on.
.
Even this presents its challenges  --  using the Interurbans as an 
example, what block of numbers for Downtown to SHJ, Overbrook, and then 
what divisions all the way to the end.     As printed photos are far 
fewer in number, I arrange   ALL   that use the same downtown route 
together and then split them when they go to individual routes.       
When listing by route number digitally there will be fewer photos even 
though on a shared route so demand for numbering will be lower but 
because digital photos are far greater in number there will be a balance 
or overload form digi sources.
.
This could make for a wonderful Digital Slide Show~!~!~!~!
