MyPics: photography notes and practical guidance on personal photo collections.

A personal photo collection becomes easier to enjoy when it is edited into manageable stories. Begin with a small group connected by an event, a walk, a place or a recurring subject.

Keep the collection readable

Remove near-duplicates from the viewing selection while retaining original files separately. Vary the distance and pace of the chosen pictures. A wide view can establish context before a portrait or detail brings the viewer closer.

Use short captions for names and details you may otherwise forget. Review the privacy of people pictured before sharing a collection publicly, especially when the photographs include everyday personal settings.
