The media archive

About the media archive

Below you will find a small number of media related articles. Most of them deal with how one should take care of a media archive, be it photos or videos. It is not easy when the number of files grows beyond a few thousand. Go the the photo page for a look into Sandalsand’s photo collection, and have a look at the video and video playlist pages for other media formats.

An odyssey of discoveries – in picture tags…

A picture is a fact. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)

Nowadays, one would truly believe that the 20th century Austrian philosopher was wrong about this statement. However, on this website pictures are facts, not fake. With a few exceptions.

In any case, the size of the words in the tag cloud below indicates the number of images attached to a tag. A click on any of the tags brings up a set of thumbnail pictures. From that point, you may browse more tagged pictures by simply viewing the thumbnails, or click to enlarge them in a pop-up window. My advice is to first right-click a tag and open it in a new window or tab. The images are unsorted.
