Earlier this week, my home computer had a slight malfunction. Well, I say slight, but it resulted in me losing every single photo I had uploaded from my digital camera in the past 5 years. Five years of photos gone in a flash. Family moments, road trips, birthdays, friends of all shapes and sizes....all gone. As you can imagine, I was momentarily devastated. That is, until I realized that at least 50% of my images were saved in some form or fashion. Between my Photobucket account, my Dad's Flickr account, my sister-in-law's blog, and my countless friends' Myspace pages, I can account for the most important of my photos. My first instinct was to save all of these photos on my hard drive again, and relax in the comfort of knowing that at least some of my memories had been restored. On second thought I realized that these images were safer if I kept them on an image hosting site. Not only can I safely keep track of my images, I can edit, share, organize and access my photos from any location. In the past I have strictly used Photobucket, but I'm going to explore Flickr. To begin, I loaded my Halloween photos. I love the edit tools....and I'm even thinking of signing up for the Premium service so I can have access to even more tools.
