Using Flickr

A problem that many of my clients have is storing all of their photos. The first thing I always recommend is to upload all photos to a site like www.flickr.com. We pay $25 a year to store all of our photos onto this site and we can share them all with friends and family all over the world. If anything ever happens to our home or to our computer we will still have access to all of our photos. With digital photos you only have to upload them. The hard copy of a photo is a different story. I scanned all of my photos and then I was able to upload them to flickr. This takes a while so I would do 10 at a time until I finally finished. After I scanned them in, I seriously scrutinized each photo to decide if I needed to keep that hard copy of it. With the ones I kept, I used a metal photo box to store them. You can use photo albums if you have shelf space for them or create scrapbooks if you are talented :)
