There are so many great applications in which to share and present your vacation photos and this year there are more choices than ever to do it online. A great vacation offers many opportunities for Kodak a moment. You took the pictures, now share them and save them for years to come with my vacation photo guide.
I recently got back from a family vacation with my wife and kids. By far my most favorite week out of the entire year. I came home with close to 1000 digital images of the kids, the scenery, and any other great moment I was able to capture. (It may sound a bit over-kill, but I recently upgraded to a new Nikon DSLR, so I am a little trigger-happy) Read more →

SmugMug is my favorite photo sharing site on the net. I have tried them all and still have an account open with many of them (cause that’s what I do… review stuff like this).

Why pay for photo sharing when you can get it free elsewhere? I have a free account with several sharing sites such as flickr.com. I honestly have not found a free site that compares to the level of service and professional showcase that SmugMug.com provides. SmugMug is perfect for any professional or amature photographer. It’s worth the small annual fee to show off and protect your best photo’s.

There are so many photo prints services available online. You can find tons great deals on prints. And there are many options for uploading and sharing photo’s. Should you simply pick a printer and cross your fingers you get some nice pics? NOPE. I have been ordering photo prints online for years. There are many I like, few that I love. Snapfish.com just sent me my latest order with prints of my kids and a photo mug for my mother. Snapfish.com is on the love list. I write about printing, so I am ordering prints and checking quality quite often. Snapfish quickly became one of my favorite online services available years ago when online photo printing started to become popular. I have used Snapfish.com over the years, and have never…. yup, NEVER had a problem. Always got the best price. Always received what I ordered. Always delivered on time. Maybe I am just lucky?
In addition to ordering print, I read and follow the forums. More often than not, when I read reviews on Snapfish, the post includes the words “great”, “quality”, and/or, “love.”
Snapfish.com is among the best in the online photo business. Why not order a set of those photo’s you have meaning to give your mother and see if you can’t add Snapfish to your “Love” list.
Get 50 Free Digital Camera Prints and only 9 cents per print at Snapfish by HP!
