Filtering digital images stored on a blockchain database

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, wherein the storage device contains program code executable by the processor via the memory device to implement a method for filtering digital images stored on a blockchain database to locate one or more specific digital images from a corpus of digital images from an event, the method comprising:
• receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a search criteria from a user for searching through the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database, wherein digital data associated with each digital image is uploaded to the blockchain database by a digital data capturing device after the digital data capturing device appends metadata to the digital data at a time of creation of the digital data that defines a plurality of factors associated with the digital image;
• filtering, by the processor, the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database based on the plurality of factors that match the search criteria;
• locating, by the processor, the one or more specific digital photographs that match the search criteria among the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database, as a function of the filtering;
• presenting, by the processor, the one or more specific digital photographs to the user for selection and purchase of the one or more specific digital photographs, and
• processing, by the processor, a purchase order for the one or more specific digital photographs selected for purchase by the user.

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing system implements a method for filtering digital images stored on a blockchain database to locate one or more specific digital images from a corpus of digital images from an event, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a search criteria from a user for searching through the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database, wherein digital data associated with each digital image is uploaded to the blockchain database by a digital data capturing device after the digital data capturing device appends metadata to the digital data at a time of creation of the digital data that defines a plurality of factors associated with the digital image;
• filtering, by the processor, the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database based on the plurality of factors that match the search criteria;
• locating, by the processor, the one or more specific digital photographs that match the search criteria among the corpus of digital images stored on the blockchain database, as a function of the filtering;
• presenting, by the processor, the one or more specific digital photographs to the user for selection and purchase of the one or more specific digital photographs;
• and
• processing, by the processor, a purchase order for the one or more specific digital photographs selected for purchase by the user.
