Travel, gardens, museums, etc? This is the place to find them. image: site_name: Kim's Personal Stuff --- # Photo Dumps # Photo Dumps I would love to say I take great photos.  I would love to say I spend a lot of time organizing those photos, curating them, treating them with love and kindness, and making a really great travelogue/museums/cool places to visit kind of site out of them. But alas, that’s SO not the case here.  I realized last year that I have an absolute shit ton of pics from some really cool places (and some only moderately cool places) and that my Google and Apple photos are completely out of control and I can’t even figure out what’s what, especially since I’ve got about 30,000 screenshots mixed in with the real photos. This is my attempt at getting some semblance of order to them, without having to go back and tag them all in their respective original locations (not that easy to do and I’m lazy), and it was simply faster and easier to bulk compress and upload them here.  Minimal effort at the moment, but we’re still in the middle of getting our own backyard in order (I’ll post some of those too eventually). Questions or comments, email me.  There’s a link down below.
