It sounds kind of interesting to me, but of course I don't have to do it. I'm interested in almost everything on an idle basis. This is why I'm more of a writer than a scientist; I'd rather learn (and explain) than work.
Some of them are really quite interesting...if you're not writing image numbers on them, measuring them, typing up picky-ass metadata for them, or giving them titles. And if you don't look at like 120 photographs of the same building at the same construction site.
They need titles primarily for the software we use to put them online, but the titles have to make sense and not sound stupid. Which means they're dull. Railroad Car. Cutting Timber. Red River Furnace Construction Site.
I'd like to use accurate titles like More People Standing Around In The Woods or A Bunch Of Crap Sitting In A Pile.
You know, I'd rather learn than work, too, most of the time. But at the same time, I enjoy mindless routine. The routine of data entry can be kind of soothing. But titling, no. Alas.
Help with the boredom? Or help with naming your equipment?
For the boredom: I found this on youtube yesterday. Of course I'd already seen it but I thought it was very.... foreshadowy. (Intentional or unintentional, I don't know.)
Mmm...does seem boring. You could let your imagination run with it. Like maybe those were the equipment used in a coal town that all of a sudden all the people disappeared from and were never seen again and then the Winchesters go through those pictures for clues.

Why do the images need titles, if I can ask?

But that's exactly the problem: imagination is an impediment. Blah.
