Photo memories….
Not so long ago, when the question was asked about what you would save if your house caught on fire (not counting people and pets), the answer was often family photos.
Photos fall into the category of prized possessions, and though they are now stored in more places than photo albums, people still worry about the loss of them.
Photos add to our story, our memories and our life. They can take you back to a moment in time at a glance. Photos are special.
Social Media
Yes, people like to post a beautiful vacation shot or one of a child on his first day of school on Facebook, but social sites are also used for storing and organizing photos.
There’s not only the storing factor, but also the sharing factor. If you have family across the globe, it’s easy to share through social media.
No longer do you need to make hard copies and send them out via old fashioned mail, or even attach files to emails to let your loved ones in on part of your photo memories.
Pinterest is a great social media site for sharing and storing.
With more than 90 million users, you can create public or private boards. With an easy upload, your photos can be stored and ready to share at the same time.
As the following article looks at, it’s all about changing the way the world remembers events and moments, and Pinterest can be a part of that.
You can organize your photos under different boards on Pinterest, whether by people, events or years. It’s a good way to weed out your favorites and have a nice, clean selection of great pics.
Facebook and Instagram are also good social media sites for sharing and saving.
With Facebook, your friends can easily save your photos to their own device. Remember, though, anyone can, so only post things you’re okay with anyone seeing. Stories are created and memories saved and shared.
Other Storage
When you have thousands of photos, you’re going want another means of saving rather than social media.
Whether it’s an app on your computer like iPhoto, the Cloud, a photo account like Shutterfly or a photo storage service like Mylio, you’ve got options.
The key is to have your digital photos in more than one place.
Whether you’re backing up to a hard drive, sharing on social media, paying for a service which stores and organizes them or uploading all to another site, you’ll want your photos accessible if something happens to your main device.
Photos tell a story.
They are part of who we are. And in today’s world of digital photography and cameras with us at every moment, we take lots of pictures.
Storage is an important part of holding onto these memories; photos are too valuable to be lost in the blink of an eye.
So use your social media, use your storage options and share your story.
At the same time, you’ll be saving that story, too.
