    OH, add my name to the mix of people who'd love a copy of the new book. For me it is deciding which photos are "print worthy". I get stalled in the decisions...
    Thanks!

    Wow! Look at all the comments. I think my biggest photo challenge is stepping out the box with my camera. Like trying new settings, ie getting out of auto mode, turning the flash off and just playing with my camera.
    Thanks Ali for the contest! I certainly would love to get my hands on a copy of that book!

    Keeping up with sorting out the pictures I love from those I can live without and deleting those.

    My biggest struggle is having the sizes I need available when I need them (I don't print at home). Thanks, Ali. LOVE your blog!

    Wow... lots of great comments. I struggle with too many photos and organizing them... that is my goal for 2008 to get them organized in some way on my computer. Am joining in on Stacy's Library of Memories Class as an alumni for more inspiration and guidance!

    My biggest photo challenge is definitely storage/backup. I have way too many pictures on an external hard disk, and if it ever goes bad, I will never get over it! I need a better backup plan NOW :)

    I also struggle with keeping track of which photos I want to print for certain layouts, whether to print black or white and what size.

    Oooh, how fun! I really want to get my hands on that book and I've never won anything on a blog before :-) so here it goes...
    My biggest photo struggle is deciding which are the best images so that I don't print too many of them and creatively cropping them down to include lots of images on a page. Also, storage and organization is a struggle. My photo CD stash grows and grows and I don't know how I am going to store them over time...

    My biggest problem is being overwhelmed by the sheer number of photos I have. I don't want to throw any out, but I get overwhelmed when I try to comprehensively go through them.

    My biggest struggle is actually doing something with all of the photos. I get overwhelmed easily and though I do nothing chronoligically, I still have trouble tackling the projects I want to do.

    My biggest photo struggle is during the capturing of the photo. Someone's eyes are closed, facial coloring is off, or I have a double chin! I'm constantly editing my pictures before I print them.

    My biggest photo hang up is fear of editing. That is fear of not using every photo and fear of actually (gasp!) deleting a bad photo.

    My biggest photo struggle is printing!! I purchased a Nikon D40 this summer and have taken 1000s of pics. I struggle the most with: do I upload to an online printing source, do I buy a printer or do I take them to my local Target? Also, what should I print 5x7 or create a mosiac or even a short 3-4 picture film strip. So many decisions to make with all my creative life artist juices. I'm raising my hand for you to pick me! Please, pretty please! :)

    My biggest photo struggle is learning how to use the various manual settings on my camera. I really want to learn how to shoot in low light, etc. I'd also like to learn more about how to manipulate pictures on my camera.

    My biggest struggle is throwing away a bad photo instead of holding onto it just so it can sit in a drawer :P

    My biggest photo struggle is which pictures to use. Sometimes I take so many pictures and want to cram them all on a page instead of just picking a couple...
    That new book looks awesome!

    Gosh, biggest photo struggle? Hmmmmmmmm...
    Every struggle means an opportunity to learn and grow right? So, right now I am taking the opportunity to learn how to use my new Nikon DX40.
    I must say, I am loving every struggle and learning a lot!

    oh my...I probably don't have a chance at all. Anyway, love your work, Ali and your blog is the first I visit everyday. My biggest photo struggle...so many but I suppose just learning to use my camera to it's fullest potential. So most of the time it's just point and shoot without giving a thought to changing any of the settings. 2nd would be taking so many pics, struggling with which ones to keep and what to discard. sigh

    biggest challenge....overwhelming number of photos on my computer and ridiculous sentimental attachment to ALL of them ("can't delete THAT one, I might want a PIECE of it someday!")...this book will help, yeah?!?!?!
    THANKS! Lindsay

    Finding a way to organize the random photos that I don't want to put in an album but I don't want to get disregard either. The photos that are our small slices of life like two photos of girl's night out or three photos of my husband's latest sports craze. All meaningful, all photos that I want to keep but can't really justify putting on a page. After all, girls night out doesn't fit well into my daughter's preschool album, my son's soccer book, my family's vaction journal....etc. ;-)
