I love taking pictures.
But I have a real problem that’s arisen these days due to my digital camera. I don’t know what to do with all the images. I have taken so many photos, that my computer will no longer download them because it’s memory is full. (This is not a good thing).
I want the images on my computer, because that is where I have the program to make photo books. (That I’m about 6 years behind on.) Sometimes I wish I could return to a time with no technology. Back before pagers. Back when life was simple. Of course then I wouldn’t get so many great pictures. Pictures when people’s eyes are actually open and pictures when the lighting is just right.
I have put my camera away and vowed to finish some photo albums. And until I can splurge for a new computer, each time I watch TV, I’ll be sorting and deleting and storing, making room for the next set of memories.
How do you save your memories?

We ran into a similar problem with being unable to upload more photos to our computer recently. My husband solved it by adding an additional external hard drive and moving all the old photos to that. (They’re all still accessible from the main computer because the external hard drive is connected to it with a cable.)
You could also store photos online with sites such as Picasa or Shutterfly or SmugMug (I use the latter), which offer the ability to create photo albums as well. ‘Course, it’s still recommended that you keep backup photos on a hard drive somewhere in case of a glitch in the website’s data storage.
