No, see this is Picasa, which was Google+ Photos.

Who is that knucklehead that pushed everything into G+ but got kicked out? The little dude with the Ernie shaped head.

The guy who tried to use good / popular products to forcibly shoehorn users into an unpopular product? You're probably thinking of Vic Gundotra, who was previously at Microsoft.

Yes, I like to imagine his sitting alone in an recliner drinking a Miller Lite in his studio apartment surrounded by Google+ merch wondering where it all went wrong.

I do? Why shouldn't I? You can always easily down sample down, can't really do the same the other way.
