Ask The Readers: How Do Your Store Photos?

May 22nd 2007   Ask The Readers   6 comments

While I keep digital copies of my photos on my computer, I also like to have them developed and put in a photo album as I am still very much for having physical copies of things. The only problem is all the photo albums I have ever come across are quite bulky, and especially after my recent holiday I have a large number of photos that need storing. I figure I will need another two photo albums purely for this latest set, and combined with the three I already have that’s a lot of space taken up. How much room will my photos take up in another few years at this rate?

So I’m curious as to what other storage options are out there that allow for easy viewing and are space efficient. If any of my readers have any ideas or experience on this matter then I would be very, very grateful to hear from you. Please leave a comment and we can share thoughts!

I guess that as we get more and more digital, digital frames will be the best way to present your collection of photos. Printing photos does not make any sense in terms of organization. I keep my photos on my computer, on an external backup drive and then online using the Google’s Picasa web albums.

So I assume you show them to people via your computer too? How does that work for you?

I keep all my photos in iPhoto. Twice a year, I’ll back them up to DVDs and put them in a safety deposit box. I also keep them backed up to an external hard drive.

Most of the time I look at them, I do it on the computer. If I want to print them, I’ll upload them to Walmart.com and they will be ready for me to pickup in a few hours.

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like most people go digital nowadays. I might have found one product that could do the job for me. If it works out I will put up a post about it.

Then there are those of us who make even more clutter by scrapbooking all of our photos as well as having digital backups.

I have a hard top brief case for my prints and I use photo bucket and gmail for storage!
