The digital camera is revolutionizing photography, making it possible to capture, send and store thousand of photos. But at the same time, the non-stop and ease of pointing clicking has caused the art of the photo to be diminished. That according to Mike Worswick of Wolfe’s Camera.
Despite the ease of today’s photography and the ability to store thousands of photos, Worswick suggested to the audience that it is still important to print out copies as a way of preserving history.
There are a number of ways in which photos can be backed up and yet still remain easily obtainable for viewing.
- Memory Card—These are the cards in which the photos are stored when they are taken. Photos can be printed directly from these cards at photo kiosks.
- Hard Drive—Storing the photos on your computer. Make sure that you also have a back up. Computer hard drives tend to only live as long as the computer itself.
- Compact Disc—Photos can be stored as individual files are computer software can be used to produce a slide show type presentation. Make sure you label the CD
- DVD—DVD’s are an even better storage device. First they hold more photos, but they tend to have a longer lifespan. Again, label the DVD. Photos can be made into movies using your computer software that will play on your home DVD player.
- Online Storage—There are many services now which allow digital images to be stored and available for viewing.
- Most importantly, remember to back up those photos and store a copy off site.
