So You Have a Shoebox full of Pictures...

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

For those of us who were around before the digital age really became an integral part of life, have a million pictures and negatives hanging around the house. We sometimes have no clue as to what to do with this massive amount of negetives.  No one wants to just toss them to save room. There are a few options you have at your fingertips that may take care of the problem.

One great solution is the Ion Audio Photo, Slide, and Film Scanner . This is a stand-alone system meaning it doesn’t need a computer to work. It scans both photos up to the size of 5x7 inches and negatives into a digital form. The files are then saved onto a SD card for transfering and using. You can then upload these to virtual albums if you wish or you can download onto a digital picture frame. You can then toss out the photos you have scanned without a ton of guilt.

Scrapbooking is another option to use the photographs. This is a simple thing to learn and there are already pre-packaged kits of paper to speed up the process. You don't have to be super intricate with your pages either.  Sometimes simple is the best option. Scrapbooks are great because you can share them with others.

If you don’t really want to toss your pictures, but need a better place to store them then a shoe box one great option is a double photokeeper case. This case is acid free and therefore ideal to keep your photographs in.  Furthermore  it gives you the option of organizing your photograhps. You can hold up to 100 pictures with this container so you may have need for more then one container.

Don’t feel overwhelmed by the photographs you have. Take control and get your photos organized and usable. You will have a great feeling of accomplishment when you get this project done.
