In the final issue of the Thomas & Thomas newsletter, Preview, we began a series on organizing your family photos. Step One involved three easy activities which would help make the process a bit less overwhelming. To recap, we suggested that you 1) find a spot where you can spread out, work on this project, and not have to pack up all your materials each time. Gather the containers you will be using for sorting, such as, photo boxes, shoe boxes, clear plastic containers, or large manila envelopes. 2) Gather all of your photos and keep them in your work area. Search through drawers, old albums, closets and any other places you may have "stored" your photos in the past. 3) Discard any photos that are blurry, duplicates, or are images of people or places that you cannot identify. Now on to Step Two ----- 1) Group your photos by categories (i.e. immediate family, relatives, pets, special occasions, holidays, etc.) You may want to take this one step further and arrange the photos as best you can in chronological order. 2) Choose up to 25 (or more if you must) of your favorite images in each category. This may be the most difficult part. Choose the images that you have an emotional attachment to or that you feel have an artistic flair. Place the selected images in a manila envelope labeled with the category name. 3) Place all of the manila envelopes in one large container. Congratulations! You are now ready for Step Three. Check it out in an upcoming blog entry.
