Get Organized!

Get Organized - 2013 Edition :)
A new year is a great time to get started on that HUGE project of getting your photos organized!  There are a lot of different things you can tackle:

• Start putting your old prints into envelopes identified by year or by other meaningful label (Smith Family, Halloween through the years, etc.)
• Have your most treasured old photographs scanned and restored
• Go through your digital photo library and delete all the bad photos that you will never use
• Put your digital photos into folders by date/event
• Make a photo album (via Shutterfly or Snapfish) of a key event (vacation, party, etc.)
• Make a photo yearbook for last year, using the "best" pictures of the year

One of the best tips I can give you is to be organized from the beginning with your pictures (no, its not too late to start this!)  Starting today, each time you download pictures you can

1. Go through them and delete the bad ones or the duplicates
2. Label the file with the date and the name of the event (2013_01_12_Skating Party)
3. Put a star or a flag or some type of identifying mark on the absolute best pictures...the ones that you will want to include in an album at the end of the year

Happy Organizing and Happy New Year!
