There are two possibilities he

1. As the non-flying right seater, I had sunk deeply into my "2nd hour
stupor" by that point in the flight, and didn't know where I was.

2. I have since conflated the two cities in my memory after
downloading the pix.

I suppose a little of both is possible.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to LABEL pix as you took them?
I suppose some higher-end cameras may allow that, but, shoot, when you
come back from a week off, with 178 pix to sort through (or more),
it's hard to remember the order and the location.

(Which is why, incidentally, you'll notice that most of my pix include
some sort of identifiable background, and almost always include a
member of my family. That way, even if I can't remember where we
were, at least I've got a pic of my kids or wife!)

Hey, at least you TAKE pictures! I've made dozens of trips to interesting
places and have no proof that I've ever been there.

You need to get Nick a decent digital camera, and make him the family
photographer.

I've been amazed at how well Becca does with photography. There's
something about kids their age that allows them to see and recognize
unique and unusual angles, lighting, etc. I guess by the time you
get to our age, all you care about is keeping the camera level and our
thumbs out of the way!

I also think we are still slaves to the "film mentality", which meant
"DON'T WASTE A SHOT" (Well, Montblack seems to have gotten around
*that* okay. Heck, he takes pictures of me taking pictures! :-) I
often try to wait for the "perfect" shot, and end up missing it.

My daughter has never used a film camera, and probably never will.
Therefore, she has no problem shooting pix of "dumb stuff" that ends
up looking really cool. She has taken some remarkable photos of
things like the interior of our airplane, and the glass bricks in the
airport terminal building -- shots I would NEVER have taken.

Um.... teenage boy with a camera? in public? near anything female? He'd get
me arrested! Just kidding, actually, he does get the family hand-me down
cameras and has a lot of fun with them. But he's still in film mode and
takes plenty of pics of "dumb stuff" which unlike Becca's, actually look
dumb! Becca has a much better artistic eye than Nick.

You're right about the film mentality... we need to take lessons from
Montblack... I don't know how his camera's batteries take it!

There is.

Where cost of each picture is not an issue, (as is true with digital
pictures) take a pad of paper after a sequence, and make some notes on it as
the picture's location, date, ect, (while your memory of the details are
still fresh) and take a picture of the note. Later, you can download the
pictures and change the file name to indicate what the pictures are of.

My old Kodak DC-260 has a feature that you can record a audio notation to
any shot - which I have NEVER used in the 8 years I've had the camera, and
would have to dig the manual out to remember how to use it..

Some cameras have a built-in microphone that lets you record a few
seconds of audio to go with the picture. Or, carry a recorder, or
a notebook.

It may already be available on high-end cameras, but I figure one day
cameras may have a built-in GPS that will put a lat/lon/alt stamp on
each picture, just like the timestamp is put on there now. It wouldn't
work indoors, underground, or (sometimes) in a vehicle, but it would
work for a lot of vacation-snapshot type pictures.

Alternatively, if you carry a GPS (in your pocket or on the panel) and
can download the track data, match the GPS timestamps with the photo
timestamps to figure out where the photos were taken. You might want
to set the clock in the camera to GMT for sanity across time zones.

I suppose some higher-end cameras may allow that, but, shoot, when you
come back from a week off, with 178 pix to sort through (or more),
it's hard to remember the order and the location.

The filesystem timestamps on the JPG files in the camera should reflect
the time the picture was taken, according to the camera's clock. These
timestamps sometimes get changed to the date the copy was done when you
copy the files from the camera to the computer or copy them around on
the computer. The camera also puts a timestamp _inside_ the JPG file,
along with data like the f-stop, exposure time, etc, and this data
(often called the "EXIF header") tends to stick with the picture.
Windows XP (and presumably Vista) can read this data and so can many
newer photo-editing programs. I suspect Macs can deal with it as well.
I have used jhead ( http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/ ) to set the
filesystem timestamp back to the EXIF timestamp so that photos will
sort in the order they were taken. jhead is a command-line program;
there are probably graphical programs that will do the same thing.

What's really sad is that, as co-pilot, I had a Garmin 496 planted
right before my eyes in the panel -- and I *still* didn't know where I
was when I took the pictures.

I musta had the thing on the XM radio station selection screen...

My digital camera has a 4 or 5 second voice recording that can attach to
each picture.

OSH 2007:
428 photos...and each pic with a separate narration! Cool.

"Quiet on the set!"

On one of my first European business trips just out of college, I took a
roll of pictures to impress my wife with my worldly travels. When it was
developed, it was a series of some beautiful woman in front of the typical
tourists stops. Distant. Up Close. Sensuous. Gazing to the horizon. etc.

My first explanation of what must have happend was that it got exchanged at
the developer. Those were still the days where the local drug store sent
them to a Kodak lab. Lots of opportunities for mistakes. Happens all the
time. Except that the pictures were taken in the same city in Europe where I
stayed. What are the chances. I think my mouth hung open just a little too
long. Those pictures went into a special photo album that got brought out
with the rest of the family pictures for the rest of our marriage.
