Whether you are running a Featherlite or a Fleetwood, if you're spending serious time on the road then you probably want to take as many of the comforts of home with you as you can. No matter how big your rig is you'll never find room for those photo albums or boxes of photos you have stored in the closet. And even if you had room you probably shouldn't expose your photos to the additional risks that traveling presents.
By having your photos scanned you can take a complete set of your photographs with you anywhere you go. A life time of photos can easily be stored on a DVD or two. You can accomplish this by purchasing a scanner and doing it yourself or by sending your photos to a photo scanning service. Don't pay too much. Great photo scanning can cost as little as 5 cents per photo.
Aside from making your photos portable, photo scanning stops them from everyday deterioration and aging. Making several complete copies of your images and storing them in different places insures that they are never lost or destroyed by natural causes. And scanning makes it easy to share complete copies with each family member.
Looking for something to do on those evenings "on the road"? Scanning our photos makes it possible to build a slideshow that you can watch on TV. Software like Pro Show Gold by Photodex makes it easy to add text to your images, and add your favorite music. If you don't feel that talented, there are many services that will create a slideshow for you to meet your needs. Digital picture frames are a great way to view your newly scanned photos. And the good news is that they are getting to be relatively affordable. Some of the more expensive frames allow you to play a slideshow, add captions to your images, and add music. The low cost of high capacity memory cards now makes it possible to store all of your digital images right in the frame. Having your photos organized in a digital picture frame when you are visiting family or making new friends on the road is definitely worth the effort.
