| 111 | What can I do with all my videos? | 12 Jul 2024 | 00:44:09 | |
Today we are going to talk about identifying, converting and managing videos and home movies. Videos are of course part of our collection, and we feel is very important for us to do an episode just on videos – so we brought in and expert to explore this topic with us: Adam Pratt from Chaos to Memories. Regular listeners might remember Adam from previous episodes, and you might also remember that we love his courses*, about which we talked in episode 67. He has added new ones in the meantime and we highly encourage you to check them out. Adam loves people, photography, and a good story. After working at Adobe for 22 years he founded Chaos to Memories which is a professional photo and video preservation studio in Chicago. He’s also the author of the best-selling book, Declutter Your Photo Life about which we talked in episode 92. Today, we will talk about videos and movies specifically because photos and movies are of course similar but different. We are not only discussing and listing what to gather when you want to tackle this project, we also talk about preserving - which is the conversion from old to new media (check out episode 42) - and decluttering. Finally, we chat about the fun part once everything is organised. And yes, we agree with Adam in saying that we recommend culling the unnecessary and unneeded videos, sorting them and adding some metadata before starting to create projects. It will be so much easier and so much fun!

| 102 | Is using only a folder structure outdated? | 01 Sep 2023 | 00:35:34 | |
The short answer is: No, it seems it is not outdated! Findings from a recent survey we conducted amongst our listeners showed that using a simple folder structure as opposed to a photo management program is not as out of fashion as we might have thought. Listen in to find out
We also respond to some comments and questions such as what to do when running out of storage space on your computer, or if you’d rather not use the cloud and many more. We were especially pleased to hear from multiple listeners that they have put the 3-2-1 backup system in place - bravo! If you haven’t got a system in place yet, check out our episode Episode 002 Golden Rule 1 - Backup.

| 005 | Golden Rule 4 Sort and Organise (Part 1 - Digital Photos) | 14 Dec 2018 | 00:35:40 | |
How can we easily sort and organise our digital photos so we can later easily find them? Join Fiona Staff and Chantal Imbach as they answer this and other important questions.
Once we have gathered all photos it is time to sort and organise them. Before starting to move any photos though, we'll run a backup and create a copy of the 'mess'. In this episode, you receive a little gift: we have created an empty folder structure which you can download and use however you want to. But before you start moving photos into your new structure, you'll de-duplicate (check out our links for software that help you do the job). This step is followed by a good declutter and by highlighting your favourite photos! Only then will you start moving your photos into the structure you chose.
Our gift to you: various empty folder structures to download from here.
De-duplication software (no affiliation):
•PhotoSweeper (from Apple Store): https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/photosweeper/id463362050?mt=12

| 101 | Design Photo Books like a Pro | 04 Aug 2023 | 01:03:58 | |
Meet Libby from Momento in Sydney and discover how this Australian photo book printing company came into existence - as the second one in the world at the time - and how they are serving their clients in Australia and New Zealand today. Momento is so much more than a printing company. The three founders, of which Libby is one, came from the world of digital media in the mid 1990s and met when working for a CD-ROM company. They loved photography, travel and also family memories. Because they couldn’t find a printing company that suited their needs and fulfilled their printing quality requirements, they started their own business, offering exactly this! One of the main focus for them is accuracy in colour reproduction and quality at every level has been their defining feature. They even developed their own book designing software, which is accessible for free. Interestingly, one of Libby’s first books was her dad’s memoirs, bringing together decades of photos. We can’t but agree when she shares how book creation is about story telling. We are also talking about different formats and sizes of books, and how to choose the right one. There are different paper options, too, and Libby explains which one is good depending on the purpose and kind of book. She also shares many more practical tips that start long before the book design … namely, when taking photographs! One of her favourite ways to pass on family history is through recipe books, for which Momento has developed various templates if you don’t want to create your own. She says: ‘Making a photo book is not just about you, it is also for those people in the future who won’t be sitting beside you when they’re looking through it, who get to learn about you and through learning about you, they learn about themselves.’ Momento offers something for every taste: whether you want to design minimalistic photo books with lots of white space or are a scrapbooker who likes frames, embellishments, background and other decorative features, they’ve got you covered. Libby encourages us to let the purpose of the book guide us and to turn a book from a record into a keepsake by adding stories. If you need more inspiration go to https://www.momento.com.au/inspiration and don’t forget that they offer a special to our listeners with 25 % off your next Momento photo book (offer valid until 31 October 2023).

| 097 | How a timeline helps with photo organising | 07 Apr 2023 | 00:15:31 | |
As we are organising photos, we usually like to know what happened when. There is a whole range of information we can gather during that process that can help us to date or place photos. This applies to printed and digital photos. A great tool to help us gather that information that sometimes randomly comes up during the sorting is a timeline. Some options to record a timeline are:
Links mentioned in this episode: Our freebie for you! Two simple timeline templates to choose from. Simply go to this link, download your favourite version and print it as often as you like. The bubble-chart timeline can be found here.

| 093 | Digital Photo Management on the Go | 21 Oct 2022 | 00:21:49 | |
We both have been fortunate enough to travel earlier this year. Like everybody else, we both took lots of photos during that time. There are many different ways you can manage and also back up digital photos while travelling. However, today we are simply sharing what we both did. Some steps were the same, such as a daily purge in which we deleted the duds and other unwanted photos we took. Others were a bit different because one used the phone only and the other also used a DSLR camera and had a notebook with her. Another important part of documenting such wonderful adventures is writing down the stories - or at least some - that go with the photos. Don’t forget to check out Katie’s offering when it comes to that part of the process.

| 090 | How to share your family photos using SmugMug | 12 Aug 2022 | 00:55:48 | |
One of the most asked questions when it comes to photo management is: how can I share my photos with others? As always, it depends on a lot of variables such as the photo management software and computer you are using. However, a great solution, which we have mentioned many times, is SmugMug - a cloud-based sharing software. Today, we talk with Kaydin Carlsen from SmugMug, who has been a passionate advocate for the photography industry for more than a decade and has been supporting and working with professional photo organisers on best practices and workflows for managing photo and video digital assets using SmugMug. If you have wondered how to share your photos easily after you have managed your collection on your computer, we encourage you to try SmugMug. There is even the added bonus that it is an off-site backup! Use this link here to get 25% off your first year of any SmugMug account level. Here are some of the features we like about SmugMug:
These are only a few advantages. We invite you to try it out yourself - the first couple of weeks are free!

| Becoming a Professional Photo Manager | 12 Apr 2022 | 00:49:31 | |

| 087 | Transferring Android phone photos to a computer | 08 Apr 2022 | 00:30:43 | |
We see the phone as a camera and we want to transfer new phone photos to a computer and our photo hub regularly. Not only to back them up, but to be able to curate them and our photo collection easily.
Today, we are looking at how to transfer those photos from Android phones to a computer. We are sharing a variety of options with you, some require just a USB cable, others an internet / wifi connection or the cloud.
One would think that transferring phone photos is easy. It usually is, but there are some things to be aware of. A typical stumbling block are phone settings. Also, many Samsung users are not aware that their phone has an SD card and an internal phone storage, hence photos might be stored in two different places. We cover all those details in this episode for Android users!
From all the options, choose the one that seems easiest and most straight forward to you and giving it a go. If it's not the right one for you, try another one. Once you've chosen, write down a step-by-step checklist for yourself.
Here are some of the options we are sharing:
•SD card (PC and Mac)
•USB connection to a PC or a Mac
•Using apps you already have on your computer
•USB sticks (also listen to our episode 46)
•Various apps
•Cloud services

| 086 | Expert advice to help people who hoard photos | 25 Mar 2022 | 00:38:29 | |
Decluttering and organising photos is hard. It can be a very overwhelming and time-consuming task and, naturally, photos belong to the very personal and sentimental belongings. Imagine how much harder it must be for a person who hoards.
Unfortunately, there is quite a high part of our population with hoarding disorders, around 5%! However, there is help and we have the pleasure to learn from today's podcast guests: Angela Esnouf and Wendy Hanes from Hoarding Home Solutions, who are internationally recognised experts in their field.
They generously share how friends and family members of people with a hoarding disorder or chronic disorganisation can help and what should be avoided.
Some of the tips are:
•Leading with compassion and being patient.
•Being aware that organising is not a linear process.
•There needs to be a readiness for change, which can come and go.
•Understanding that - especially for elderly loved ones - photos can be a catalyst to tell their story and that it can help them make sense of their life and their legacy.
•Knowing that searching for the perfect solution can be paralysing.
They also share some practical strategies on how we can help a loved one. We believe these strategies work for anybody, not just for people who hoard.

| 084 | What to do with the original gathered mess | 25 Feb 2022 | 00:14:07 | |
Following our call for your questions, a listener has asked "What am I supposed to do with the original hub in the end?"
To answer that question, we are looking back at our Golden Rule 3 - Creating a Hub - to clarify the steps that we suggest you follow to start off your photo organising project. We are explaining in detail how to copy the gathered mess before you start deduplication and sorting of your photos. We also talk about where and how long to keep that copy of the original mess, and when to delete it and all the original source files. Remember, the goal is to have one single place where you keep all your photos.
We hope this episode clarifies our Golden Rule 3, to which you can listen here.
Also, we would love to hear from you as we plan relevant and pressing topics for upcoming DIY Photo Organising Podcast episodes.

| 078 | New Book! Photo Organizing Made Easy | 19 Nov 2021 | 00:39:35 | |
Looking for a book to help you on your photo organising journey?...We have authors Cathi Nelson and Jordan Babeon as our guests on the podcast today, talking about their updated book, Photo Organizing Made Easy!
Cathi and Jordan join us for an engaging conversation about how they worked together on the newest edition of the book, and how they are from two different generations, but still share the same passion for photos.
This is a fun, engaging (and we believe insightful) episode and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. Also, if you stick around until the end of the podcast you will hear both Cathi and Jordan's top tips to help you with your own photo projects...gems not to be missed!
Here is a link to the book Photo Organizing Made Easy.
Here are some details about our wonderful guests Cathi and Jordan.
Cathi Nelson is a baby boomer whose passion for photos and stories developed from a career in teaching photo organizing and scrapbooking. Cathi is the leader of a global photo organizing movement. A cutting-edge entrepreneur and speaker, in 2009 she founded The Photo Managers, the leading organization and certification program in the photo management industry. She's been featured in the New York Times, The Atlantic, Real Simple Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal about how to organize and preserve the legacy of your family heritage through photos.

Jordan Babeon is a tech entrepreneur born in software consulting. She founded her company, SurroundUs Services, in 2018 after struggling to find help organizing her digital photos following the birth of her twins (now seven years old). She passionately believes that working Moms need more help, specifically when it comes to their growing digital lives. While all the new apps are great, knowing which to choose and getting set up correctly with all of the legacy data is hard. Jordan believes that working parents need support when it comes to managing, protecting and organizing their data.

| 077 | Why bother preserving your photos? | 05 Nov 2021 | 00:19:47 | |
Why bother preserving your photos? We understand it can be an involved, time intensive, often times emotional and potentially expensive project to take on organising and preserving a family photo collection.
So...why bother?
In this latest podcast episode we discuss a question raised by a listener. When considering the task of organising and preserving her photos she asked..."Why bother going to the effort to preserve these memories?"
Our listener does not have any siblings and her own children are not interested in old family photos.
So, again...why bother?
Today we chat about some things to you might like to consider when deciding what to do with those precious memories...especially in a situation like this one.
In this episode we make reference to some other episodes you might like to listen to that relates to this topic. Here they are:
Episode 3: Know your Why
Episode 31: What to do with inherited photos?
Episode 34: Story Telling with your photos
Episode 37: Exploring Genealogy
Episode 47: What should I do with my old photo albums?
Episode 57: Story Jotting with Katie
Episode 60: How many photos do we really need?
Episode 72: Which 100 photos would you chose to document your life?
Episode 76: What to do with slides?

| 076 | What to do with slides | 08 Oct 2021 | 00:13:28 | |
Do you have any slides in your photo collection? Chances are either you, or your parents, or your grandparents do. These are some of the formats you might have seen;
•120
•35mm
•35mm Super
•35mm half-frame
•126
•127
•110
•Subminiature
•Stereo Realist
•View-Master Reel
....there are so many! The first slides came on the market in 1901, and there are still some formats in use today!
A listener asked us what options are there when it comes to digitising slides. This wasn't the first time we were asked this question, so, we thought we'd record an episode on the topic to help others that may have some slides in their photo collection too!
Dust off those slide cartridges and bring some of these treasures back to life!
Also, we invite you to have a look through our DIY Photo Organising Courses so you can decide which of these courses might be what you need to help you move forward with your photo organising projects.

| 075 | A listener's photo journey (with guest Lisa Johnston) | 24 Sep 2021 | 00:59:40 | |
What a treat! We have had the privilege of interviewing one of our gorgeous podcast listeners...and now we get to share our chat with you!
We are thrilled to introduce you to Lisa Johnston.
Lisa is passionate about many things, including family history, documenting significant events, and the passing on of stories and memories to keep them alive. She is a wife to Aaran, and Mum to 18 month old Isobel. She loves to travel, and explore new places, languages and cultures. She is a midwife and Registered Nurse, loves creating things in the kitchen, and is trying to achieve that goal of organising her family photos.
We invite you to listen into our conversation as we chat about the journey Lisa has been on with taking on the challenge of organising the family photos.
What started out as a goal to find some baby photos of her husband Aaran (to see the resemblance of their daughter Isobel) has turned into a much larger photo organising project!
Thank you Lisa for sharing your photo journey with us, and for inspiring others to keep going, or to take the first step!

| 074 | Dealing with photos that are difficult to look at | 10 Sep 2021 | 00:26:20 | |
Today we address a sensitive topic when it comes to our photos. We are very aware that not all our photos, or memories, bring us joy and feelings of happiness. So what can you do if you know you have photos in among your collection that are difficult for you to look at, sort out, or deal with?
Our episode this week is focussed on this question. We openly discuss how we both feel about these types of photos, and talk about some options you might like to consider, when it comes to your own photos.

| 072 | Which 100 photos would you choose to document your life? | 13 Aug 2021 | 00:31:05 | |
Do you know which photos you would choose to document your life...if you were asked to select only 100 photos?
•Loved ones?
•Childhood friendships?
•Family pets?
•Mentors, teachers?
•Ancestry photos?
•Houses, special places?
•Hobbies?
In this podcast episode we encourage you to think of the meaningful photos you have that connect you to past experiences, relationships, feelings, hurdles you've overcome, or photos that remind you of things you can be grateful for in your life.
What would you include in your 100 photos? We would love to know. Listen in as we chat about which photos we would include, and why.
Also, we invite you to have a look through our DIY Photo Organising Courses so you can decide which of these courses might be what you need to help you move forward with your photo organising projects.
