Grandparents’ Photo Memories Must Be Saved, Says ScanMyPhotos.com

ScanMyPhotos Journal

Ten years ago, when the nation’s top tech expert, David Pogue wrote “Your Photos, Off the Shelf at Last” in The New York Times, he put photo scanning on the map. Since then, much has happened, including these news profiles, as ScanMyPhotos rushed to preserve one billion pictures.

The news profiles over all these years helped launch a crusade – advocating that everyone must start thinking about genealogy, preservation of memories, and sharing photos for today’s all-digital world so this never happens again.

“But, the challenge has always been how to embrace technology to affordably archive and preserve shoeboxes of family photos?” explained Mitch Goldstone, a pioneer in digital imaging and CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com. By commercializing a unique way to provide professional photo scanning at lightning-fast speed, a major breakthrough occurred.

Having solved the biggest problem in photography, ScanMyPhotos.com is helping to unlock millions of analog photo snapshots.

According to Goldstone, “each time a feature article or customer shares their experience about scanning pictures, it dramatizes the relevancy for converting analog to digital. A special benefit is the exposure also helps grandparents connect by sharing stories from their lifetime of photos with their computer-savvy grandkids. It forges another idea for simplifying photo scanning and sharing.”

Another recent profile was written by Fupping on the top gifts to celebrate a grandmother’s 80th birthday.

Old friends have had many laughs and the grandparents are thrilled.”
