Alright, so I got this idea to put together a collection of JFK Jr. pictures. You know, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of President JFK? I always thought he was a fascinating figure, and I figured a visual journey through his life would be pretty cool.
So, I started by, you know, hitting up the usual spots online. You got your big image banks and all that. Typed in “JFK Jr.” and boom, tons of stuff popped up.
The Digging Begins
First, I just started saving anything that looked interesting. Childhood photos, pics of him with his mom, Jackie O, stuff from his college days. I wanted a good mix, from when he was a little kid saluting his dad’s coffin to his, like, more grown-up years, working as a lawyer and starting that magazine, George.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. Here’s the thing about searching for old photos online – quality can be all over the place! Some were super grainy, some were tiny, some were watermarked up the wazoo. I spent a good chunk of time just sifting through, trying to find the best versions of the photos I wanted.
Organizing the Chaos
Once I had a massive folder of pictures, I knew I needed to get organized. I mean, I had like, hundreds of images. So, I started sorting. I made folders for different periods of his life:
- Early Years: Baby pics, family stuff, that iconic salute.
- School Days: Photos from Brown University, his student life.
- Career Man: Working as an assistant district attorney, you know, looking all professional.
- George Magazine Era: Him launching and running that political magazine.
- Personal Life: Pictures with Carolyn Bessette, candid shots, that kind of thing.
It was a bit of a process, let me tell you. Lots of dragging and dropping, renaming files, and trying to remember which year that one photo with the dog was from. But, hey, it felt good to get everything sorted.
The Final Result
It took a few days of on-and-off work, but I finally got my collection where I wanted it. I ended up with a pretty solid set of JFK Jr. pictures, showing all the different stages of his life. It was kinda like putting together a puzzle, piece by piece, and seeing this whole picture of a person emerge.
