Photo Freedom Giveaway.

I take lots of photos, but somehow don't get around to printing them anymore, they just languish, under appreciated on my hard drive! Come to think of it probably even more important is remembering to back it up the photos onto a CD case my computer crashes. I have never yet done it after 4 years of digital. Yikes!!!

my biggest photo struggle is storage. Should I really keep a bajillion pics or should I scrap them,then delete them. I dunno.......that's my struggle.

My biggest photo struggle is that I take too many photos and I don't ever print them all!!! It's so frustrating to pick which ones to print of my little girl. When I do print I end up with piles that I don't know what to do with.

My struggle is that i take too many photos, of the same thing ! And then i have a hard time to choose which one is the best !

Hmm.. biggest struggle is the time to sort through, print and decide what to do with the thousands of digital pictures i have!!

Wow! 1355 comments so far, that's incredible. You sure do reach a lot of people Ali but then I'm not surprised, you're awesome :o) My biggest photo issue is that my twin girls who are now 4 want to look at all the photos of them but I don't want them to put their fingers all over them as I currently store them in photo boxes. I'm thinking of switching to photo albums that way the girls can flip through them and not damage them. Thanks for all you do Ali.

My biggest photo struggle is organizing my photos in a way that allows me to quickly look through them when inspiration strikes. BUT, I have a very small home (about 500 Sq. feet) that I share with my small son, so finding accessable, functional storage that does not take-up alot of space and looks good (because you can see EVERYTHING in my house) is my biggest struggle.

Hi Ali! Thanks for doing this draw - it's very cool of you :) My biggest problem with my photos is that I'm not sure where to start with organizing and printing them. I need a good system to follow that will help me get everything together in a logical manner.

My biggest photo struggle would probably be that I have a really hard time getting rid of photos that are simply not any good or don't really tell a story - they are just THERE, and I can't seem to purge them. I won't scrap them, but I can't let go (I have that problem with a lot of other things too, like patterned paper for example).

my biggest photo struggle is having the eye to capture the candid shots and to not have all my photos be so posed.

My biggest photo struggle: I have tons of photos from the 70s and 80s (childhood) and I don't have negatives for them. Should I scrap the originals? Should I scan the originals, pretty them up, and scrap the reprints? The latter is too time-consuming, but the originals aren't necessarily in the greatest shape.

actually printing the photos.
im sooooooooooo lazy.

WOW, so many comments already! Why am I not suprised? My biggest trouble is that I am easily satisfied when I take the picture. And when I see it afterwards I wished I had taken more time. The camera is always on automatic. And I really do want to learn why the other buttons are on the camera :-) But I don't give myself time to learn :-( Another problem is how can you catch a 4-year old on a picture without him running away or making funny faces? HELP ME!!

Figuring out how to take good pictures using manual controls.

My biggest struggle is my fear of not taking good enough pictures. In many cases, this leads to not taking any pictures at all, which is sad.

My struggle is too many photos both film and digital and no real direction on how to manage it all - HELP

SO JEALOUS that you have the book already!! I'm sure my struggle is just like everyone else's: too many photos that are disorganized and not enough time!!!

I'm sure you've heard it before - organization of the photos on the computer and then deciding which photos to print to scrap. Ugh!

My biggest photo struggle: Too many started projects to organize my pictures. I now have them on my computer, in "speciall" boxes, on my work desk, in albums, etc... I need to consolidate and finish!
Thank you!

I guess my biggest struggle is seeeing how wonderful/professional everyone else's pictures look and mine are just average at best. But I still love them and try hard to take good pictures!
