Camp

I have a wife and two children, and between the four of us, we own three digital cameras that generate literally thousands of pictures every year. These images are now piling up on my hard drive in exactly the same way that those old 4× 6 photo prints of holidays, sporting events, travels, and disasters piled up in my closet. What’s the point in this accumulation, if no one ever looks at any of it? Is there an easy way to transform it into a digital archive that will have enduring value? Can user-friendly software make the job tolerable? I decided to find out.
