Photo Filing

There was a 5th step to our photo filing FileOsophy which we hadn’t included as part of the MOON walk as it pertains to both images and data.  It also didn't fit nicely with our little acronym but ultimately we believed that it needed a bit more weight and importance surrounding it.  WHY?  Well because data loss does not discriminate.  Good karma will only get you so far and good guys can experience data loss as readily as the next guy. Digital Photo Filing FileOsophy Step 5: BACK UP,  backing up, protecting your precious memories, saving for the future call it what you will…. We like to think of it as Back Up or Die. Sounds pretty ominous doesn’t it… back up or die?  Well if you remember the emotions we stirred up when you watched our video then you need to read this post.

Welcome back, are you ready to get your dancing shoes on and learn more about our Digital Photo Filing technique we nicknamed The Moonwalk to get your digital photos organised? If you missed the introduction and the first step of how to MOON walk you can read that post here. Once you have completed the first step - MUSTER - you can dust yourself off and settle in for a session of ORGANISING.

I’d like you to meet THE HARDIES - I tried to get my family tree in one image but I needed a magnified glass to see it.

My mum is one of 11 kids, she has 5 brothers and 5 sisters. My grandmother passed on very early and when my pop passed on in 1975 he had eleven surviving children.  Today he has 139 living descendants…can you imagine our family reunion?! No imagination required …you can check back in with me next year as I am actually organising (there is that word again) a big reunion in April 2014; wish me luck.

Can you guess the top 3 things we hear when we tell people more about our services and what we do? "What a great idea...
  1. "I've been meaning to sort out my photos for months/years/ every school holidays etc"

  2. "I wish I had time to get it done"

  3. "I bought a scanner last year and only did one album"

I can name 2 friends who have bought scanners with intentions of scanning in old images, and they are just the ones I know about.
