What do your children’s friends think of the mom who always has a camera to her face?!

11,000. While that’s a ton–or 5.5 tons–of photos, I see it as a ministry, Kathy, seriously. You are blessing your family with real shots of every day, a few dozen of every day. This is stuff they will NOT forget, and they will always remember the mom who gave them not only the gift of every day, but a way to never forget those days of their childhoods.

I use photobucket. You can make groups for the pics and move them around. So it’s nice and it’s free. I use my HP software that came with my digi cam to upload to the computer and with that I can shrink the pics down to a managable size for the web

Okay, here’s what I do. FIRST, I do NOT take 11,000 pictures in a year. In fact, I fuss at the kids when they take too many because then I have to DO something with them. Then, I use Shutterfly’s free program, Shutterfly Studio, which does allow you to tag pictures. I don’t do much tagging, though, just because I don’t take that many pictures. Sad, but true!

Saving regularly is totally wise! Of all the things to lose if - When - a computer crashes, the pictures would be the most heartbreaking. I have no tips for you; I’m lucky to take 34 pictures a quarter! I label them by date when I do take them…

Kathy, I save my photos to CDs when I want to free space on my computer. I’ve had computers crash, so I back everything up on an external hard drive weekly. I do NOT trust computers, so I want to know I have saved those valuable photos somewhere safe. I realize CDs and DVDs don’t last forever, but I think they’ll last longer than my hard drive.

Organizing pictures is a definite reason for your OWN laptop! It could be the picture-only laptop…heh.heh….

I have to say that my pictures are not organized in any way, shape or form. The best ones are enlarged and hung on the wall! I have a wall that is just black and white pictures in our hallway. Every so often I add another one…Does this count for organizing them?? ha!

I can’t wait to hear some good tips on photo organizing…bring them on!
