Photo rescue mission
I don't know what went to my head today - I looked at my old photos - those during my college and uni days.
Stored all these years in cheap photo albums, I don't think they will survive for much longer if I don't do something about it. So, I'm going to scan my photos so that I can store them digitally, just like all my more current photos.
It's hard to imagine that just around 8 years ago, I was still clicking away on film cameras. In those days, an Olympus mju was probably the most sought after camera for the young crowd like me (yes, I was young once upon a time).
As I turn the pages, the memory of my younger days flashed before me. I recall friends long forgotten, and newly rediscovered (Facebook is the best thing since sliced bread, I think). I remember those days when I was wondering if I should pay 2.50 for a Snickers bar ... because I had only 5 in my pockets ! I recall those times when a holiday means I could walk a little longer in the mall.
I know realise these photos are really important to me. One day, when memory fails me, I'll need to look at them to remind me of myself.
So, busy work days or not, I'll work towards digitizing as many of my photos as I possibly can !
Maybe then, I can show some of you the days when I had green hair !

Hey there,
My name is Dane Ensley and I work for Life Preserver Digital Archiving. What is digital archiving? Good question. Digital Archiving is a fancy term for scanning and organizing. We are a scanning and archiving company specializing in the transfer of all things analog.
We take photographs, slides, negatives, 8mm, Super 8, VHS, and more and transfer it all to a DVD or external hard drive. Photos and movies take up a lot of closet space right now, but they don't have to. They are aging, losing their color, and feeling lonely in the dark. They are unorganized, jumbled, and chances are people don't truly even know what they have. Using our service breathes new life into old photos and media, often returning a better image than the original. Once digital, our clients have options they have not yet imagined. Most importantly, our service can transform media from what was once impossible to manage and colossal in size to what is now a breeze to organize and the size of a DVD.
We are located where the 5 and 110 freeways intersect in Los Angeles. We do all our transferring at our location and our client's most precious memories are never out of our careful hands. We'll even come to your house and pick your media up. We pride ourselves on working intimately with our clients and we guarantee the ability to meet face to face with a Life Preserver representative.
My grandparents digitized their entire library a couple years ago. We made every photo look perfect and then they ordered seven copies of their library to give to all of their kids. Its great to sit down together and relive our family history. I believe wholeheartedly that digitization is a necessary investment in your families most important asset, memories.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions at all, and please don't wait to call and schedule a pickup. Your memories aren't getting any younger. Check out our website at: lifepreserver.com
Hope all is well.
It's your life. Relive it.™
