Photo Freedom Giveaway.

My biggest photo struggle is getting them printed off. I have my own photography business so you can imagine how many pictures I have. Wait - let me tell you...
My kids are 4 and 21 months. Since my first DS was born in May 2003 I have 46.5 GB and 18,469 files in 135 folders! These are NOT client photos - just my own kids! They are actually very organized - I have a folder for each year and within each year I have a folder for each month and sometimes subfolders in each month for big events such as vacations. They are also all uploaded onto Flickr (in a private account) in case anything should happen to my hard drive.
I am taking Stacy's LOM class and can't wait! I want to get a bunch of them printed out and put in regular photo albums for my family to enjoy, and SB my favorites. They aren't doing anyone any good sitting on my hard drive!

My biggest photo struggle is with keeping organized. I've got them backed up on an external hard drive and one million CDs/DVDs strung all over my office and everywhere else. Plus they are just in folders with the date I shot them. Then I have to search through each disc and it is becoming so frustrating!!!

My biggest photo struggle is deciding to take a lot of pictures with my digital camera or risk missing the shots with my good camera-I hate wasting the $$ on film.

Organization, what is that?
I have images on my phone, images still on my camera, images on my laptop, images on my computer at work, images still in emails images on my G4, images on cds. Oh, did I mention I still have images on a camera that is now living on the bottom of Lake Michigan.
So overall I am a total mess and disaster with my photos :)

My biggest struggle is how to organize my digital photos together with my film photos!!!!

My biggest photo struggle is that I don't delete photos that should be deleted and have too many photos of the same subject with little or no difference. I really need to sit down and DELETE them. As well as "tag" them so that I can find things better.
Thanks!!! You are just so inspiring!

getting good indoor shots (with no flash) that aren't all blurry. It is so frustrating!!

My biggest problem in working with the flash, or more specifically, when to use or not use the flash for the optimal conditions for the picture. HELP!
Cheers,

My biggest struggle is getting them printed so I know what I have. I have tons of cd's with photos on them that I haven't printed yet.

Biggest photo problem? Not taking ENOUGH pictures. Need to start taking more, so I can capture the 'perfect' shot!

My biggest photo struggle is I have a point and shoot camera...it takes great pictures, but not to the level I would like

Convincing people to let me take their picture!!!!!

My biggest struggle is backing up my photos to DVDs and keeping on top of that.

Deleting...I have a problem deleting any photo. :)

my biggest struggle to find the guts to go somewhere and take the photos that i want to take. if i see something that i want to photography and people are around then i seem to hesitate and usually don't get the photo.

I didn't start scrapbooking until 2001 when I met my now husband. I've done fairly well with photos taken since then, and I scrap primarily digitally, but I have buckets (and I mean buckets because my Mom wasn't the best with albums) of family pictures growing up. We took so many trips together as a family, just me, my Mom, and my Dad. Especially between the ages of 3 and 7 because my Dad took an early retirement and we took cross country trips several times. I don't want to forget those memories, but find I already am. I want to find a way to manage all those pics!!

My biggest concern/struggle is backing up my photos, and how to organize them to do so. I am a Mac person and have them sorted by keywords in iPhoto, but to backup, they are all unorganized. I am getting ready to load the new operating system Leopard, and it has a built-in backup program, so am hoping MAYBE it will help me with this That seems to be the main issue for all of us, how to organize and find what we need in this digital world. Before, we could organize our negatives. Thanks Ali!

My biggest photo struggle is narrowing down my photos to decide which ones to print, and then deciding what size to print them at, since I like to have a variety of sizes on my layouts. It is just so overwhelming sometimes!

Can I name 2?? Getting the photo's off my computer and organizing them later. I think I need Stacy's book ...

My biggest photo struggle is getting good pics of my kids on stage at their school! The lighting in there is just so bazaar, everything looks yellow. I've experimented for a couple years now, lol, even with 2 different cameras, and I just can't get a good one of them performing at their holiday concerts. I'm not giving up though! They're only in 1st and 4th grade, I've got plenty of time to master this.
