Sharing Photos

When I mentioned that I would be sharing photos on my blog, it generated some interest with #1 grandson. He is very interested in American history and wanted me to post my pictures of Philadelphia. So, this slideshow is dedicated to my grandson. You can view the photos from the photo sharing site bubbleshare or you can view them from the slide show located on the right.

I really liked bubbleshare; remember it's all about being super easy. I downloaded my photos and the program let me rotate them, rearrange the order, pick an album background, and even add some text. The text function did not work all the time as you will notice if you view the slide show on my blog.

This time it was easy to import the html to put the slide show in the blog, but I'm having a bit of a challenge changing the size. It seems to be sort of okay for now.

I can see some educational benefits of photo sharing. They give us historical perspective. Additionally, photos can be our window to the world. They give us an idea of what things are like, but they only capture a particular view. I would hope that viewing photos would peak the viewer's interest to actually go to some of the places to experience what they had seen with all their senses thus making the picture complete.
