Photos are important – people run back into burning homes for them

Someday you’re going to want the photo you took today…

… it may not be today
• Tomorrow you might want to send one to your Mother
• In 2025 you may want it for her Sweet Sixteen party
• In 2030 it could be part of the slide show for her wedding
• In 2086 you’ll need it to put together the 80th Birthday presentation

… will you be able to find it?
• Maybe it never made it off the memory card
• Maybe your computer’s hard drive will crash
• Maybe you’ll replace your computer and not copy what really matters
• Even if it’s still in existence, will you remember that it was file IMG_0483.jpg in folder C:/mypictures/2008July?

We’ve all got shoeboxes & albums

“If I never see another 300-print album it’ll be too soon…”
Anonymous consumer, observing a display of 300-print albums for sale

Film was easy
• Throw all the prints in a shoe box
• Leave the negatives in the envelope and scatter them all over

Film becomes the image

You can always see a negative

Digital doesn’t make an image
![Page 12: Pictures Matter Don’t let them get away. Photos are important – people run back into burning homes for them](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e715503460f94b6fd37/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Digital cameras just make numbers – instructions for making a print.
Without a machine (computer)…

I’m a big believer in making photo prints…
…someday – when I have time

For TODAY – what’s the safest way to preserve my photos?

The BIG memory card
is not your friend• You’re going to keep on shooting ‘til you fill it up
• Anything more than 640 mb won’t fit on a CD, so you’ll copy it to your computer – if you copy it at all!
• Anything more than 4.7 GB won’t fit on a DVD, so you’ll copy it to your computer – if you copy it at all!
![Page 17: Pictures Matter Don’t let them get away. Photos are important – people run back into burning homes for them](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e715503460f94b6fd37/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Your memory card holds as many photos as a shoebox full of photos!

How about Hard Drives?

Where are mybaby pictures?
Your computer’s hard drive is no place for permanent storage!

But my computer has TWO hard drives
• That is, two drive letters that are on the same hard disk
• …when that one hard disk fails, both drives fail!

• Be careful how you label them
• Store a second copy off premises

What’s safest for the long term?
• Memory cards – NO!
• Hard drive only– NO!
• Online only– NO!
• Hard drive plus CD or DVD - BETTER
• Hard drive, CD & removable hard drive
• Hard drive, online, CD, removable drive
• PRINTS – they’ve stood test of time
