The Question Is

How do we straighten up digital shoeboxes so that we can find our images?

Digital cameras are such a fantastic way to preserve memories. Take as many pictures as you want Have an instant preview Can print your pictures if you like, Print more pictures when needed. Easy to download

The digital revolution hasn't done anything to revolutionize photo storage. Its actually made the situation worse. The number of photographs taken have increased drastically Computer hard drives and memory cards are with packed images. Just like with paper files at our workplaces, filing our photographs is a good idea.

Why Care about Organizing Pictures? If you have a hard time finding pictures Remembering who was in the picture The date it was taken, etc. Imagine when you're gone and your family is going through your pictures. They won't know what's what and what's where.

Save everyone a little bit of work and organize your pictures.
