Dust Off Your Digital Pictures with Snapfish

I probably have at least 400 pictures on my digital camera, and they will most likely stay there, lonely and collecting digital dust.  Why is that?  Pictures are meant to be tangible, or at the very least, be on display to be admired.  They shouldn’t be trapped in a little box where most of them will be forgotten.  While I was going through my old closet at my parents’ house recently, I found all of my pictures from high school. Loads of them! Actual pictures of all my friends on glossy photo paper.  I was thinking about how weird it must be for high school students these days. How the times have changed.

I started to feel bad for this year’s senior class and thought about how they probably just have their memories in a file on Facebook somewhere.  How sad.  I asked my cousin (who is a college freshmen this year) if she brought any mementos to remind her of her friends from home.  She started rattling off a list of objects: collages, magnets, a mug, a mouse pad, a calendar, and on and on.  She explained she was able to send her digital photos to an online retailer, and they could put her pictures on these objects.  What the heck? I no longer felt bad.  I think it would be a lot more fun to find a cool picture calendar in my closet then just some dusty old pictures.  I investigated further and found Snapfish, a website that does everything I mentioned above and then some.

Snapfish made me look at my digital pictures in a whole new light.  I could do so much with these pictures I was too lazy to print out before. Digital pictures can be used as a creative outlet to create cool projects.  You can make cute photo books, personalize notebooks and calendars, and indeed put your pictures on mugs and magnets.  You can even put your pictures on a blanket, or a necktie!  You’d think that such innovative services are pricey, but Snapfish is actually very reasonably priced.  Make a collage poster for just 9 cents, or a collage mouse pad for just $12.99.  Or if photo objects are all a bit too much, then you can get traditional prints.  If you sign up with Snapfish you can get 20 4x6 prints for free!  In any case, if you happen to be like me and have more then a few pictures stuck on a camera in your desk drawer, then do your pictures a favor and turn them into something you can look at everyday.
