Before digital!

We didn’t take 200 photos to find one good one.

We got 24 chances.

That was it.

You snapped the picture and hoped for the best.

No previews.

No filters.

No deleting.

A week later you opened that envelope like it was Christmas morning.

Half were blurry.

One had someone blinking.

One was perfect.

And that one mattered more because you couldn’t fake it.

Those photos weren’t curated.

They were real.

And somehow that made them better.

Do you still have a stack of old prints in a drawer somewhere?

If this year your goal is to organize photos and memorabilia, I plan to post helpful hints and tips each week as I work on my own photo projects and my customers'.

Fun fact: The World Takes Over 1.5 Trillion Photos Per Year (and 92% Are on Smartphones)

At the peak of the film era in 2000, we took an estimated 80 billion photos in that single year. We now take that many photos every two weeks. Current estimates put the total number of photos taken annually at over 1.5 trillion, and the vast majority (over 92%) are captured not with Canons or Nikons, but with smartphones. To put this in perspective: we now take almost as many photos every year as were taken in roughly half of the entire 20th century.

Photography is full of surprising history, weird technical quirks, and fascinating stories that even experienced photographers might not know. From the mathematical precision behind f-stops to cameras abandoned on the moon, these facts reveal just how wild the world of photography really is. 1. The....

I had the wonderful opportunity of scanning photos for a Celebration of Life. A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from a client who needed to get photos to the funeral home by the end of the week but didn't have a scanner. She was also overwhelmed trying to choose photos.

I suggested she bring what she had to me and I could digitize the photos. Once she saw all the photos in one place it would be easier to click on the photos she wanted to use.

I organized and scanned the photos. I also put together a box with the memorabilia that I had found in the boxes including some yearbooks. Here is the before and after!

Daily Vitamin Storage. I have been using this system for over a year and it has been working. I bought two containers and separated out my vitamins. I used Sharpie and a chalk pen to write on the top how many I needed to take a day. This was a game-changer! No more looking at small print trying to remember how many I need to take.

If you like to keep it simple this is all you have to do. Pull out the bin or leave it on the counter and take the amount on the lid each morning. This is actually what I do most weeks.

If you like to divide it down by day or our traveling you can buy daily med containers and using the number on the top of the lid divvy out your vitamins. It makes this process go much quicker with the label on top.

If you have a Cricut I did upload these designs under "Vitamin Container Labels".

I bought a shelving unit that holds all my extra bottles underneath and these bins fit perfectly on top. (Shelf and bins from Target)

HINT 1: Use dry erase marker on the bins if you don't want to make permanent labels.

HINT 2: When doing this take a photo of the label so when you go to your doctors you can tell them what supplements you are using.

Organizational Tip! Before all the electronics and gadgets are unwrapped, buy cord labels and velcro straps.

When an item is taken out of the box:

1. Write the name of the electronic on the velcro label and attach to the cord. You can put one on each end if needed.
2. Replace the metal twist tie with a velcro strap before using.

Put both the label and straps in a ziploc then add a pen to your "kit" and no more chord chaos! I have been doing this in my office for 6 months and it has saved me many times.
