On September 4, 2009 I wrote about how Amy and I have been taking many more pictures than we ever have before. Since Fiona was born on 9/10/09, there’s been an even bigger spike in the number of pictures we take. In fact, my picture taking might be out of control.
Once things settled down a bit at home, I signed us up for a new Flickr Pro account. Since then, I’ve uploaded over 300 pictures for our friends and family to view. Many of them look like duplicates because I have an itchy shutter finger and can’t help myself when taking pictures of little Fiona, or mom and Fiona. Here are a few of my favorites:
Those 300 pictures only represent a fraction of the ones I’ve taken so far. The camcorder’s also getting some use and soon we’ll be investing in a much larger external hard drive to store all of the Fiona media we’re creating.
My family lives a few hours away. Our cameras and Flickr accounts help us keep them up to speed with Fiona’s growth in between visits. Being able to take photos with our phones and instantly upload them to our Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter accounts allows us to do this on the go.
Where do you store and share all of your family photos? Do you upload photos on the go?

I like Walgreen’s for uploading and printing photos. I’m willing to try new methods of sharing photos though since I want to share my photos with family and friends who are located around the country.

I have a very nice camera, but I rarely bring it anywhere with me. Since I have upgraded by phone though I have been taking pics with that and e-mailing people.

I upload all of my photos to Facebook. When friends or family want copies, it cuts out the middle-man. I also have started using Walgreens to print my photos. I’ve found that printing photos through Walgreens not only produces nicer photos in common frame sizes, but is also more cost efficient than using a bunch of ink on my printer.

And I love that I get to see photos of little Fi as often as I do courtesy of the internet and your I-Phone

Hooray for external hard drives!

With such a beautiful grand daughter, we take plenty of pictures. We already have a good digital but are planning on soon upgrading to a professional model.

My wife takes most of the pictures in our household, but I can see I will start doing much more with the advent of our beautiful, new grand daughter.
