About Browsing Photos |
There are many ways to browse photos, but none are any good unless you are able to filter out all the photos
you would like to exclude (or the inverse: include only the photos in which you have specific interest.) There
are also volume issues when thousands of photos are available. A navigation method for the photos has been
developed that mimics navigation for the Persons pages, and it worked out a helluva lot better than
initially envisioned.
Further details on photo topics below. |
Gawd, Shut Up and just lemme see pictures! |
Navigating the Photos |
The first row for navigation at the top allows you to look at all the pics in numerical
order, which is the same thing as navigating the pics in the order in which they got to
the site (chronological by submission date.) You also have the ability to navigate the photos ordered by date(s) photos were taken. Of course, most dates are unknown, or guesstimated, sometimes to an extreme degree, e.g, '1850-1950.' Even looking at the pics on a Personal page can show pics taken same day/week dated very differently (because the date was known for one pic, but was guesstimated to a decade for the other one, and only later was it realized that the two pics were taken during the same very narrow time range.) Conversely, for many pics, no idea in which decade a pic was taken, but know in which century it was taken. In some cases, the birthday impossibility has been factored, but certainly not all; that means if you see a pic from the 1980's or 1990's next to one from the 1920's...then feel free to send a list of photo ID's with the correct year or correct decade! So two things: if you wanna see pics during a particular period, e.g., early 1900's, they aren't mixed in with pics from 2001 (and vice versa.) Also, if you see anything dated egregiously wrong (or even just a little wrong), please send email. (Third thing: the nav links at the top go to individual photo (numerical) or list (chronological), an inconsistency that is there on purpose, is consistent when you use the actual pages that aren't this one.) Photo browser: photo max 1154 width (shrunk by browser), if less than 1154 then full-size shown, clicking on pic opens up full-size pic in new tab. Description is the very short caption supplied by Johann for pics 1-1499; afterwards, the description used is one of the lines from the decorated pics. Samples: very short description, only one available; and purposely-chosen short description (could have used the three-word description under 'SchaefferStuff.com Photo' or the six-word-description chosen or the longer two-sentence full caption. Not so important for photos online, but if you submit photos, please include appropriate text for all three spots and specify which you would like for the text heading above the photo.) |
Photos - Listed by Date(s) Added |
Not surprisingly, there have been a few dates wherein large numbers of photos were added. Shoutout to Johann who put in endless hours w/ the first 1,500 old photos: scanning, identifying those in the photos, writing up short mini-captions, and matching Schaeffer ID #'s to those in the photos. (Newer photos much easier, of course, with multiple cameras per cell phone.) |

Photos - Listed by Category |
Previously, there were links here that would lead you to categorized pages, e.g. 'animals' (lotsa pets w/in the pics here.) For several (good) reasons, I have temp removed those links, and will add them back in a later update. |
