    Like many people mentioned my biggest problem is that I have so many pictures... how to use them all or store them in a meaningful way is something I always struggle with. I can't even imagine doing a one photo layout because I have so many that when I scrapbook I challenge myself as to how many pictures to put on a page - not how few.

    my biggest struggle is getting a picture with me in it! I hate how I look right now, but I need to document it if only for my daughter to have pictures of her mom in her scrapbooks!

    I worry sometimes too much about what's in the background, and I miss the moment. You know, like getting everyone to turn around so the bridge isn't in the picture or something.

    My biggest photography struggle is that my son is faster than my camera...I always end up with pictures of the back of his head. Especially when I am taking candid photos. Also, I am not in any of them!

    Being able to get good shots when indoors with bad lighting. I have a point and shoot, so my options are limited.

    wow, it seems that we could all use a little help:) my struggle actually with photo retrieval: i would really like to scrap pics from various time periods on one papge(like my childhood and my kids), but i can't easily go through all my pics(some are in my under-eave storage).
    maybe some of your own personal tips would be great(for all these questions, it's obviously something bothering a lot of people, and not just the yearning for a free book). thanks

    Biggest struggle - having an organized system on the computer for all the digital photos, and then from there edit, and then upload to send them out for print. Linda J:)

    My biggest struggle is taking photos from different angles. I love pages that combine small photos of details with large close ups.
    My second biggest issue with photography is lighting.
    Finally I have a hard time keeping background distractions out of my shots.
    Enough for now? ;-)

    Wow, where do I start...
    I take so many photos that I'm overwhelmed with the sheer number of photos on my computer (over 12,000) and that's just digital. Which do I scrap? And then I'm overwhelmed just by the quantity that I want to scrap. Where do I find the time?
    Trouble deleting the unfocused, bleary photos.
    I live in Belgium where the weather is very gloomy and the sun doesn't come out for days on end. So taking photos with such poor light is challenging & frustrating especially when I haven't mastered the manual settings on my Canon Rebel.
    Girl, I need some serious help! lol! ;)

    My biggest proble right now is digital photo storage. How can a hard drive that seemed so huge two years ago, seem so small now.
    Thanks for doing this.

    My biggest struggle right now is actually focusing... and no, not on the "big picture of life" or anything like that, but actually focusing in my photos! I have a new IS lens that may be giving me some trouble, but more likely the user is the problems.
    Oh, and photo overload. I gots it bad. Definitely the downfall of digital!
    As always, thanks for all the giveaways. I sure would like to win this one! Love Stacy J!

    Photo stuggle? I have photo catastrophies!
    I take so many photos day-to-day, and at special family events.
    I organize them on my PC, but where do I go from there? I want to scrapbook EVERYTHING! How do I narrow down the memories that I should put in a scrapbook? Do I organize them by year or by time of year over years?
    I have a box of my family photos starting at middle school, that I don't know what to do with. My dad thought that I could give them a better storage place...if he only knew.
    This book sounds like it would help tremendously!

    I actually have all of my photos and photo cd's organized, but I definitely need more help in getting them organized in a timely manner, as well as getting them onto a scrapbook page! I guess I'm halfway there, and need a boost to cross the finish line!

    Sooooo many pictures still to cope with!! If I see them when I open my cupboard it is almost as if they look at me and say: "He, you, nice lady, keep on going, we all want to be scrapped!!!!"
    But however much I scrap, they never seem to become a smaller amount. That is my struggle with them. Me and my pictures: it is not a real relationship but there is definitely some kind of love/hate thing going on.
    PS sorry for my English, I am Dutch

    My biggest struggle is finding time to organize them on the computer and get them backed up safely. I have hundreds on my hard drive and thousands on my external hard drive. They're hard to find and I need a time-efficient system for getting it all under control.
