About the New GregoryCam. The GregoryCam live feed of photos, which moved to Blogger on 20080120, depends on PicasaWeb for photo storage. PicasaWeb has a 1000 photo limit per album. Each blog is assigned an album for images. With 10 to 20 photos per day, and sometimes more, this limit is reached after 50 to 100 days. So, to continue the GregoryCam live feed, future live feeds will be created as a new blog for each month. This will make it possible to have a permanent archive for each month. The archived photos for 20080120 to 20080613 are available on this blog. Other live feed archives are listed above.
