Indeed we can just Photoshop them away. At least they're names and not the dreaded time and date stamp that appears to often these days on digital shots. In time nobody will care on what day or time the photo was taken, but they will wish someone had given the photo some names instead of the generic data. There won't be handwriting on photos.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.com
