FotoBridge | Digitizing Photos Blog

It’s not surprising now to find “pet parents” showing off their pet the same way they do their children, from pictures of pets stored in wallets to framed photos. Relaying how important our pets are, though, can go far beyond a picture in a wallet or framed photo. Thanks to advancements in photography, technology and photo scanning, we’re able to freeze both our old and new pets in moments of time and demonstrate the impact they’ve had on our lives in a multitude of ways.

Dad carving the turkey, children checking for Santa’s cookie crumbs, Grandpa taking a catnap, and the funny face Aunt Betty makes when singing Christmas carols – this past holiday’s family photos are preserved and stored on memory cards, phones and social media. But what will you do with them now?

Do you remember that thing called a VCR, which played those artifacts known as videotapes? Odds are your VCR hasn’t seen any action in a long time, and you likely have a collection of VHS tapes collecting dust of weddings, graduations, holidays, birthdays and other memories.

No matter where you live, you’ve undoubtedly already created a few perfect holiday/winter memories that you've captured on film.

These days, it seems everyone is either a DIY-er, a technology buff, or both. That’s exactly why so many people take it upon themselves to scan entire photo collections – and besides, why pay someone else to do it when you can do it yourself?

Believe it or not, 2014 is here! So break out the champagne and party dresses and visit the party supply store to buy those classic (and slightly ridiculous) New Year hats and kazoos.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, yet they work so well in the world of 140 characters. I am, of course, talking about Twitter and the impact digitized photos have on this influential platform. 

How often have you uttered the words, “I will never forget this moment!” only to discover years down the road that the details of that event have faded in your memory?

You promised yourself last year that you wouldn’t put Christmas shopping off until the last minute ever again. You told yourself you wouldn’t do so because last minute shopping usually resulted in “impersonal” gift certificates. Regardless of when you finally complete Christmas shopping though, there actually is one gift certificate you can buy for absolutely anyone on your list that’s far from impersonal and that will only take a couple clicks of a mouse – a photo scanning service gift certificate.
