To celebrate Stacy's new book Photo Freedom, I have one here to give away. Leave a comment below + tell me your biggest photo struggle. Comments will be open until Thursday at 8pm Pacific.
Photo struggles---don't know how to use my PSE to "tag" or categorize my digital photos!!! All my pictures are in folders of the date they were taken and that's where they sit. I do print some of them and make copies for my mother, but, once they are printed--they sit in the envelopes. Even though the envelopes have dates on them, I can have pictures in them that were taken yesterday or months ago so when it comes time to scrap..where do I look. I will often end up printing up another print to use instead of searching for the one that I "just knew I had printed".

My greatest struggle is knowing where to begin. I have a life time of pictures, I began taking pictures at 9 and I'm past 50! Many of them are in albums but they aren't archival safe. I want to make albums filled with the story of my family, going back as far as I can and making room for the future. Where to start?
My biggest photo struggle: I am taking care of my mom, which among other things, entails cleaning through almost 30 years of hoarding (an actual disorder in the OCD category)...what this means is that my whole life story and that of my family is in the thousands of pictures my mom took (she was a photographer) and that I so desperately want to save from damage and organize. I want to do this while she is still alive and able to tell me the stories behind the pictures. This is my life story, and the history of my family. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I have hundreds of thousands of words to find, save, organize and scrapbook... the story can't end here!
My biggest photo struggle is actually printing my digital photos. I just don't seem to print as many photos since I've gone digital. I think it has something to do with the instant gratification of being able to see the image immediately, unlike the old days of film where you had to have the film developed and photos printed to actually see your photos.
My biggest challenge is getting my photos organized. I currently have two huge boxes of complete disorganization. This has been on my to do list for several years now.
my biggest photo struggle...
FLASH OR NO FLASH???
is automatic really automatic?
what about...
sunrises? sunsets? night shots? facing the sun? away from the sun? no sun? dusk? dawn? indoors? outdoor? faces? shadows? silhouettes? natural light? filters? red-eye? double flash?????
help!!!
My biggest struggle is to get them allorganised. I hardly ever print them they just sit around in folders on my harddrive and my computer, all mixed up. I wish I had time ot sort it al out but I have no idea where to begin :)

My struggle remains with learning the ins and outs of my new camera and taking it out of auto mode. I know I will get there in time, but lately I have been struggling with lighting and the focus and it is erking me!! I've been taking alot of breathers and just trying again!
biggest struggle? probably remembering to actually take pictures (I'm doing the 365 challenge which is helping...)
It doesn't help that i'm drowing in the pictures i do have. and they are all organized as "misc"
I think my biggest photo struggle is catching a natural smile or situation. We are all "programmed" to smile when we see the camera so catching something spontaneous is difficult .
My biggest struggle is that I try to have the perfect photo EVERY time! I am not good at getting those candid shots and I know I am missing so much of what's real. I guess I am creating "little posers!" and I hate that.~ In fact CHEESE was in both of my kids vocabularies before the age of 2! I don't think that's too good!

my biggest struggle is knowing which photos not to keep. I take thousands of photos (over 50,000 last year) and I can never throw any away. even the bad ones. they have to sit on my computer forever.
I litterally take thousandsw of photos a month, and even though my daughter is 3 and a half, Im still catching up fom her first year. AND I barely have any photos hanging in my house. I need HELP lol
Oh. And I need more photos of myself. It looks like my girl doesnt have a mom in her books!
Definitely keeping pictures stuck on the computer because I don't have time to weed through them and edit them. And then the files are a mess on my computer as well.
My biggest photo struggle is to organize my photos. There is my family (I have 8 sisters and 5 brothers). I am the chronologer?? I also have a husband and 2 children of my own and three grandgirls.
There just are not enough hours in the day.
My greatest struggle lies in organizing the files on my computer in such a way to facilitate and make my scrapping easier, while keeping them organised by date, by idea, theme...it all gets to be confusing...
Mine is getting over the fact that I am self conscious when I have my camera and taking pictures. And I need to stop waiting for the perfect shot and just take pictures.
I never seem to hear about other long-term scrappers who have actually got most of their backlog of photos scrapped and in albums but can't face those last few boxes, because taking and scrapping digital photos from now is so much more fun!
So my problem is getting the motivation to finish what I began ten years ago, when I whipped every photo out of those nasty magnetic albums and carefully filed them in boxes to await scrapping! Do I just do it or do I just give myself permission not to, buy lots of photo safe slip albums and move forward?

Biggest photo struggle? Just one? OK. I'll choose...organizing photos on the computer so I can easily find what I'm looking for. So frustrating! :)

Probably myself being stuck with the idea of “must scrapbook photos chronologically”…

Sometimes it's really hard for me to stay organized. When to find time to make LO for all the fun pics I just took???!?!?

My biggest struggle is to remember to take my camera, I am now looking to buy a small purse sized one so I can catch those unexpected moments.

My biggest problem would definitely be keeping the hard copy of my photos organized.
