Putting Pins in a Map


• Why are some of the pictures grainy? That is really just a matter of what camera we use, or more accurately, whether we remember to bring our digital camera. If we forget the regular camera, we get reduced to cell-phone cameras and while recently we've upgraded to some more decent phones (Blackberry and a Dare), that wasn't the case even a short time ago. • So what kind of cameras do you use? A few different ones. As I said above we use a Blackberry & a LG Dare for phone-camera convience (plus the Dare does some decent panoramics); but when we remember, we bring an older Kodak Easy Share C330 or a newish Sony Cybershot, The Kodak is not the greatest but it costs us $0 to put off replacing it for a while, and then we finally upgraded to the Sony Recently. Then in the last year Kelly gave Allen the awesome present one X-mas of a Nikon D series which is what we use when we have packing space and son't mind the carrying bag, otherwise its the Sony (or Kodak) that fits easily in the pocket and also does our videos. • How in the world have you not been to (insert place here) before? Well keep in mind the map & pins are not a 100% accurate depiction of every place we have ever been. We've both been to many places that aren't depicted on the map (heck Kelly was born in Alaska) but usually we've either A) been to those places too shortly to really consider it a visit; and more likely B) visited when we were younger and never had this web-site in mind, & therefore didn't think to take pictures of everything. We might have to consider adding pins without pictures/video to be an entire accurate depiction of everywhere we've been; but we feel the pictures & video are a good deal of the fun in the site.
