Ack! Organizing Photos
I take lots of digital photos….. as do most people these days. How to keep them organized…..?
In general, I have them separated into files on the computer. I do print out many of them. Since I used the photos to paint from, I need the physical photos for reference. Propping up a computer near me and my paint …… oh such a bad idea! Unless I want a very personalized paint splattered…. decorated?….computer that no one would mistake as their own. I clip photos to my easel and drawing table with bulldog clips so I can see them as I draw and paint.
I want to be able to use the photos for years to come, so printing them out from the regular printer doesn't seem like a great idea to me. I've been using Shutterfly.com for actual printed photos. You upload the photos and either use their service to have the photos sent to you or send them to your local Target to be pick up that day.
How are you keeping your photos organized? Any suggestions are welcomed!
I just bought an external hard drive. The dude at Staples told me it was the way to go That for about 50.00 – there was a rebate too! – I could store about a gabillion photos. I originally neede it to transfer photos from my old computer. Have I set it up yet? No : P … but I suppose once I do it';s the way to go – Good Luck!
Great idea! That would free up space on my computer as well. Setting it up – it’s like backing up your files… things that should get done! Lol
I've been saving mine on a flash drive, but need to get more organized, too. 🙂
Hopefully your blog and comments will help me.
Great meeting you through the Etsy Blog Team. 🙂
I am following your blog now, too!
Best,
