Foster Album

MyFotoPal has been off the grid lately due to a temporary addition to the family. Tigger came to us in the middle of the night on September 21, 2019 - literally the middle of the night as transportation for her arrived around 11:30 pm. It has been a whirlwind two weeks of puppy time with our resident dog, Luna. Her playful, fun-loving, puppy spirit has been exhausting. However, one thing that we continued to do was to take pictures of her. The kids wanted memories of her in all her glory at our home.

It's so interesting to think about how many photos a person takes. If you're like me, you take them for any and all occasions - to document life. Tigger was here for 16 days. In that time, over 350 pictures were taken of Tigger. The ease at which we are able to take pictures these days is surreal. One can snap a picture of anything they love, like, or otherwise want to remember.

If we think back to the first cameras people had, photo taking was precious - for the perfect thing. One shot, no idea if we were getting the "right" picture, and we knew the quality wouldn't even be the best with our semi-disposable cameras. Professional photographers had amazing, expensive cameras, but the average person had cameras that were subpar at best. The digital age allowed even children to begin playing with cameras as there was no cost except the camera and SD cards to just have fun taking pictures. Taking a trip down memory lane, I found this article https://www.cnet.com/news/photos-the-history-of-the-digital-camera/ . . . we have come a long way since the advent of the first digital camera.

Were pictures more appreciated when we had less of a chance to take them? How valuable are the pictures you have from that time period (thinking the 50s - 80s and possibly before if you have some from then). Are you making sure they survive for generations to come? If they are still sitting in photo albums, let us help you wake them up. MyFotoPal can scan and digitize them, return them as digital photos, or recreate the album you had before - except in digital quality. We can even make the picture quality a better with photo editing software!

It's time to let those photos resurface. Talk about memories, talk about different generations, let those photos see the light of day! In the meantime, I'll be making a small photo album to remember Tigger! Time to sort through those photos!
