The title should be:
Random Photos From My Google Photos no. 2.
But I decided to shorten Google Photos to GP.
I decided to share some old photos from my GP one day at a time. This is the second post in this series.
The first was:
Random Image From My Google Photos #1
Before I continue, I realized that there are still some people that are not fully aware of what Google Photos is and what’s this app/service is for.
Google Photos is the cloud storage service offered by… Google( who else?).
If you have an Android phone, chances are the Google Photos app is already pre-installed in your Google device.
If you already have a Gmail account, then you already have access to Google Photos. With GP, I have unlimited storage for my HD photos (but slightly reduced in size). If I want to store full-size photos, the limit is 16 GB.
One feature that I love with Google Photos is, I can sync my phone to the cloud storage. So whenever I took new photos on my phone, they will be automatically uploaded to the cloud which makes them accessible to me whenever I use my laptop.
I almost forgot GP will also upload any videos taken using your phone. Convenient, right?
Just for precaution, I don’t share my GP photos directly to any other social network. I download them first and upload them to the other social network.
Now for the image. This was taken actually using an old film SLR camera. I was in college and took a summer ROTC course (for completion).
The M60 I am holding in this photo is real. And REALLY heavy!
Don’t worry, the gun was not loaded and the only person who took a shot is the one holding the camera.
The army officers were kind enough to let us hold.the real guns for photos.

Did you not get tempted to join the Army?
Well, I did get tempted but I’m two inches short from the height requirement. Hehe.
That must have been quite frustrating!
fun picture of you!
there are many good photo storage systems on the internet. We have to use the one that is easiest for us!
True. And so far I find Google Photos to be the most convenient for me…
i use google photos on my android devices! the fun thing is that AndroidTV by default will play pictures out of that folder so I have moved more pictures there.
That’s interesting. I wonder if it would work on our TV.
🙂
if you have an androidtv system it works today.
you can do that on any TV with the chomecast system.
Yes, indeed. I have carried a MK 19 Machine Gun, a 248 Saw, and a 240 Golf ; ) I am prior military, so yeah ; )
You were active in the military? Wow!
I do have backups on a Google storage site, and try to post as much as I can on certain social media sites that I know will be around for years.
Yeah. It would be useless to have an online backup if they would fold soon. 😉
You look muscular. I once held an Ak47 as a child when I asked some soldiers if I can touch their gun. It was the first and last time to ever held a gun.
Thanks. I haven’t seen a real Ak-47 before…
Anyways, I’m not really a gun person. I don’t even own a handgun…
Nice photo, but scary. I have never seen such a massive gun before!
Thanks, Maggie. Well, this is the only time I held a real machine gun in my life. It was really heavy.
