Where Should I Look for Photos?
We often hear about people who must search high and low in their homes to find special photos for an event. Whether you have a graduation or some other event, it’s nice when you can quickly put your hands on a photo you need. We’ve seen photos in many, many places.
Your best bet to finding photos in the long run (like throughout your life!) is to gather ALL of them in one place and then begin organizing them, once and for all.
We have listed all the places where you can look for photos:
