Dilettante Photography: Retrospective

hi, dear chatters! looks like Google have several plans to kick us out: "Your Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019." Let's relocate to the facebook. My account there : https://www.facebook.com/kadadj.silver See you :) Kadaj

Visual indexing I am experimenting with a "visual index" on one of my transplanted Google Collections. [ https://arnoldslions.blogspot.com/ ] An index to a retrospective view of Dilettante Photography might look similar.

Retrospective? Would a partial archive of Dilettante Photography on Blogger serve any purpose? I have discovered that mere membership in a Google+ Group allows me to download something on Google+ Exporter [ https://medium.com/google-plus-exporter ] I haven't opened the partial file yet (it is huge and I stopped it midpoint), so I don't know what is in it. I know from experience with the software that, though improving steadily, it is not perfect and sometimes images are lost. So I ask members and Mods who have not, so far as I know yet agreed on the future of Dilettante Photography, if there is any purpose in having a member preserve something of our past . What do you think? Google says: "time is of the essence." https://medium.com/google-plus-exporter

I'm still trying to identify this critter. Meanwhile, this shot won an award on Viewbug. But nobody has come forward to identify it yet. Photographed in upstate NY, USA. https://www.viewbug.com/photo/82980468?type=awardgg%26ggdesc%3Dpa

Do we know where we're going yet? Will this Community have a new home in the next six weeks? This would a good time for the Mods to agree on a future home for the Dilettante Community. Meanwhile, I have referenced this group on one of my blog posts: [ https://outstandingphotographerscollection.blogspot.com/2018/06/its-cinch.html ]
