[Leica] Steve - his photos - and how to get access to them

[Brian Reid]

I don't think this is the best idea. I am willing to be the person who 
goes in to Steve's account and gets the pictures out, but I'm not the 
right long-term keeper of them. I'm 70. I use old technology. I've been 
making sure that a couple of my children have access to my own passwords 
and logins, and they'd be baffled if they found passwords for something 
that is not mine.

The LUG is 20% of the size that it was when Steve started assembling 
that collection of pictures. People fade away, but since it is email 
based and Leica centric, new people don't join. Facebook and Instagram 
and TikTok and Google Groups are where the action is nowadays. I'd bet 
that the youngest active LUG participant is older than 50.

The ideal place to keep them would be a wiki-like thing that could be 
updated by any member. But I don't have one of those and I'm fresh out 
of ideas for how to create one.
