Our photo collection

We have an extensive photo collection. In fact, much of this website is about these photos. This page documents our records of the material we have and keep accumulating (not available in full to the public).

A selection of 500 shots till June 2014 is available from our Ten Years video recording the period 2005-2014.

All our photos of 2015 in the video of the same name.

Storing

We store pictures by date, in folders that keep this information. We use the following script:

#!/bin/sh

# Goes through all jpeg files in current directory, grabs date from each
# and sorts them into subdirectories according to the date
# Creates subdirectories corresponding to the dates as necessary.

for fil in *.JPG  # Also try *.JPG
do
    datepath="$(identify -verbose $fil | grep DateTimeOri | awk '{print $2 }' | sed s%:%/%g)"
    if ! test -e "$datepath"; then
        mkdir -pv "$datepath"
    fi

    mv -v $fil $datepath
done

A more rudimentary version (which we don't use) based on the file timestamp and storing in folders of the type 2017-08-24 reads:

#!/bin/bash

for x in *.JPG; do
    d=$(date -r "$x" +%Y-%m-%d)
    mkdir -p "$d"
    mv -- "$x" "$d/"
done

Reducing

for photos in *.JPG;do convert -verbose "$photos" -quality 85% -resize 2000x2000 ./"$photos-Optimized.jpg"; done
