Photo Freedom Giveaway.

Hi Ali, Please enter me in the contest to win Photo Freedom. I think my biggest photo struggle is editing the photos so I just keep the very best. I am very biased and like way too many so I have way too many I want to fit in my scrapbooks.

My biggest problem is getting away from using a flash. When I don't, my photos come out a little blurry. I thought it would get better when I bought a more expensive camera, (a $200 camera is expensive for me), but it didn't. I'd really like to figure this out. Anyway, thanks for the great inspiration.

Too many photos on my computer,too many photos I just love and am afraid to purge! They are also soooo unorganized!

I need to get my older (pre-digital camera) photos organized...there are just SO many of them! It seems daunting, and I have a new baby that I'm taking hundreds of pictures of each month, so I'm just barely keeping up with organizing those...just so many pictures!!

I love you blog...read it everyday!!
My biggest struggle right now is organizing 'real' photos from my oldest daughters....(in boxes)...and now incorporating digital photos of the younger one. I seem to not even want to 'bother' with the boxes and stick to scrapin' the digi's...I need a way to not 'lose my mind' and scrap those older pics!!
Have a great day.

Lighting! That's my biggest struggle beyond not getting my 3yr old daughter to be still!

My biggest photo struggle...wow let's see!
Deciding how to categorize them, then how to store them, and finally where to store them. I guess I have a struggle with the whole process!!

I recently found loads of old pictures from my parents,grandparents and their parents dating back to about 1910. Many of the people in the pictures I don't know. I decided I want to make some sort of book to record who all these people were, what they did, etc. I will have to gather as much information as possible and I will ask help from every familymember to help me find out more about these people. This may become a job without end and I don't know where to start yet. Lucky for me I have some other projects I want to finish first. :-)

Hey Ali! Thanks for doing this contest. I print out lots of pictures that I intend to scrap...then I would either not have the time, supplies, etc.. to do it and the pictures would just pile up. My resolution for this year has been to try to create something everyday, and so far, so good! So, my biggest challenge now is what to do with all of these boxes, envelopes, etc... of pictures I printed and never did anything with!? I need to organize them and then start scrapping them, but that task seems so daunting.
I need help!

OMG! How overwhelming are all these comments! You are one popular woman and I can see why. You are very talented!
Anyway, my biggest struggle with photos is actually using my Canon Digital Rebel Xti to it's potential. I've had it quite awhile and I can't seem to learn everything that could be beneficial. I know I'm missing out on all that this camera has to offer.
Have a great day and thanks for all the inspiration!

I have a vision for the pictures I take and they never seem to quite turn out as photographically(is that a word, HMMM?) beautiful as I think they should.

I'd say my biggest photo problem involves wanting to crop photos for scrapbook pages, but also keep the original shots for all the background info they can provide. (Who else was involved and may be-half in a photo, what the location may have looked like, again background items.) Thus, the sheer quantity of photos and knowing the kids will not go through a hundred CD's one day, to view the past. It has to be kept to a manageable number.

My biggest photo struggle is getting great shots inside the house without using a flash.
Thanks for sharing y ourself on this Blog. I enjoy reading it every day.

My biggest photo struggle is getting "good" pictures of both my kids together in the same shot - they are teenagers and I have lots of pictures with only one smiling face or with those "fake" smiles they give me to humor me!

I just got a new digital camera and I am finding I am such a perfectionist about the pics. It was less stressful and easier to just use a film camera and just be happy with the pics that I got. I think I'm getting on everyones nerves asking for retakes. lol

Now that I'm digital, it's definitely taking so many, and not being able to keep up with printing them out!

Running out of ink and paper! LOVE my photos. I could sure use Stacy's help.
Thanks for your kindness!

I could totally quote Barbara word for word. Shooting in RAW and needing time to process and then how to display non-scrapped photos. Do I want an album system or attach a comment electronically and do a digital display (much cheaper)? Add to that the keeping of so-so photos - which ones to keep, which to toss, etc and there you have my biggest problems. Pam

My biggest struggle is deleting! I can't seem to delete a single picture even if 30 are exactly the same.

For sure -- organization! I have folders upon folders, but I just cannot stay consistent or find a system that is easy to reference and FIND the photos I'm looking for. Also, I struggle with deciding where to back-up my photos online(in addition to an external hard-drive/DVDs). Thanks, Ali!
