Like the second one. You should Flickr em all or something

Actually I'm wondering what I should do. It's too good an archive to let go to waste.

Mount a show at your local library. That'll keep you busy for awhile.

Or there is a site called SmugMug where you upload photos and can make each set either public or restricted to people you share the link with. If you want, you can put a price on any of them and people buy a print from SmugMug and you get a %.

Tin: Been there, done that in both cases.
I am currently investigating the various online options. This started recently because I'm not happy with the quality of my Picasa site and wanted to do a makeover with something a bit more visually impressive.
Re. the library, this initially started many years ago when I received a commission from the government of Jamaica to present an exhibition of photos of children as part of an International Youth Festival that was held in Kingston. I had lots of images so I put together a quite impressive display, so said the Daily Gleaner. It comprised a lot of large [30 by 40"] panels, matted and framed which went on to be displayed in several locations in the US.
When we moved up here 15 odd years ago we moved to a house with a barn, we unloaded everything into the barn and went to bed exhausted, that night it poured down and the barn roof leaked, the lot were totally ruined; I don't have the urge to re-do them in print format but the internet is intriguing plus I've gone through my files and found hundreds of previously unused images.

How about select some images for a digital slideshow and do a soundtrack for it from some of your jazz and stuff.
