IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Expanding on the theme of National Preparedness Month (NPM), ScanMyPhotos.com is not waiting until the annual September event to issue an urgent recommendation encouraging people to take action and prepare for emergencies year-round. NPM is a nationwide effort sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security’s Ready Campaign to increase awareness for preparing and to effectively deal with emergencies and natural disasters.
ScanMyPhotos.com, an associate member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), is urging people to have their analog photo snapshots scanned and backed up.
In advance of National Preparedness Month, ScanMyPhotos.com president and CEO, Mitch Goldstone, said, “Beyond gathering survival items when preparing for natural disaster emergencies, such as fires, hurricanes or earthquakes, think about protecting irreplaceable items in the home.”
While insurance may cover replacement of possessions that have monetary value, how are you protecting items of emotional value? Those shoeboxes of family photos tucked away are often overlooked until it is too late.
What is your backup plan?
According to ScanMyPhotos.com, the top six reasons to backup your photo memories are:
1) Offsite storage in case of a natural disaster.
2) Family divorce or relationship separations (duplicate copies solve ownership issues)
3) Halt ongoing fading and discoloration of your older analog pictures.
4) Easy sharing of photo reprints with others.
5) Making treasured photo gifts for anniversaries, birthdays and more.
6) Sharing stories and journaling to give a real ‘face’ for family tree genealogy projects.
“Preparing for a natural disaster is a year-round imperative,” explains Goldstone who said, “In an instant, when disaster strikes, you risk losing precious photo memories. Family photographs document our lives in a way that material items cannot. Once those photos are destroyed, that part of the family history is lost forever. Family photos can also be ‘lost’ due to neglectful storage, sun exposure and actual time. There is an urgency to preserve your analog photos before facing a possible natural disaster emergency.”
The daunting task of individually scanning each picture has been replaced with ultra-fast and affordable bulk photo scanning using Kodak technology and performed by photo imaging industry professionals with same day return. Your photos are digitally scanned and saved onto DVDs allowing you multiple off-site backups.
ScanMyPhotos.com provides secured Extreme Backup to archive all your images. Its menu of hundreds of other photo imaging gift and sharing items are posted on its Web site.

(Irvine, CA) Expanding on the theme of National Preparedness Month (NPM), one company is not waiting until the annual September event to issue an urgent recommendation to encourage people to take action and prepare for emergencies year-round. NPM is a nationwide effort sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security’s Ready Campaign to increase awareness for preparing and to effectively deal with emergencies and natural disasters. 
As an associate member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), ScanMyPhotos.com is urging people to have their hard copy photos scanned and backed up now.
ScanMyPhotos.com president and CEO, Mitch Goldstone, said that “In advance of National Preparedness Month it is important to remember that beyond gathering survival items when preparing for natural disasters such as fires, hurricanes or earthquakes one should also focus on the irreplaceable items in the home.
What is your backup plan?
It is often forgotten that in the aftermath of a disaster, your insurance will cover replacement of possessions that have a monetary value, but items with emotional value can never be replaced. Those shoeboxes of family photos tucked away in your closet or attic are often overlooked until it is too late.”
“Preparing for a natural disaster is a year-round imperative,” explains Goldstone who said, “In an instant, when disaster strikes, you risk loosing precious photo memories. Family photographs document our lives in a way that material items cannot. Once those photos are destroyed, that part of the family history is lost forever. Family photos can also be ‘lost’ due to neglectful storage, sun exposure and actual time. Printed photos will never last forever, they have a very real shelf-life and they deteriorate a little more everyday. Making digital copies slows this process and also preserves them when faced with a natural disaster.”
Because of new photo imaging technology, no longer do you have to individually scan every photo. That daunting taste has been replaced with ultra-fast and affordable bulk photo scanning using Kodak technology and performed by photo imaging industry professionals with same day return. Your photos are digitally scanned and saved onto DVDs allowing you multiple off-site backups.
ScanMyPhotos.com also offers its secure Extreme Backup plan for independently archiving all your images assuring the client total photo preservation.
According to ScanMyPhotos.com, there are several reasons to back up your photo memories during National Preparedness Month:
1) Off site storage in case of a natural disaster.
2) Family divorce or relationship separations (duplicate copies solve ownership issues)
3) To halt the ongoing fading and discoloration.
4) Easy sharing photo copies with others.
5) Making treasured photo gifts for anniversaries, birthdays and more.
6) Giving a real ‘face’ to a family tree genealogy project.
Los Angeles based CBS -KCAL Channel 5 News wanted to know more about this process, and recently featured ScanMyPhotos.com showing every step in the speed-scan process from the company’s California headquarters.
Background: The history of ScanMyPhotos.com and affordable bulk photo scanning services: Founded in 1990 as a boutique retail photo center, the company is headquartered in Irvine, California.

These thoughts brought to you by
National Preparedness Month, which is a perfect reminder to us all to put that planning into action. While we might have a few extra canned goods stored, or a copy of our insurance policies in a safe, but what about your photos? One of the most over-looked areas of preventive preservation is backing up our hard-copy photos. When disaster strikes, it is the 
irreplaceable memories that affect the victims the most. Your wedding album, boxes of photos your children and photos of relatives no longer living are all examples of precious items that need to be cared for responsibly.

This is the next new, new, application once your thousands of photos are digitized at ScanMyPhotos.com. Share your memories with friends and relatives and create a new community to discuss and laugh as you reminisce.
Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year. Watch the demo video below, sign up for updates and learn more about how to develop with Google Wave. Google Wave can make you more productive even when you’re having fun.
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
Unlike online forums, Google Waves reflect changes in more or less real time: You can see responses appear from Wave participants as the typing occurs, network latency permitting. There is, however, an option to show a reply only after all typing has been completed.
Google Wave will be available this fall and check back often for regular updates. We are so excited and look forward to incorporating this brilliant new Google tool to compliment your photo scanning orders.

All Scanning is completed at our Southern California headquarters in Irvine, CA. Most orders completed the same day and full international delivery service is our speciality at ScanMyPhotos.com
35MM NEGATIVE SCANNING:
Trust ScanMyPhotos.com to preserve all your 35mm color or black & white negatives onto digital DVDs. Your negatives are scanned at 2000 dpi (5MP) with higher resolution files available at a higher cost.
Interna
tional Service – Most Orders Completed Same Day
Now just $0.39 per exposure, includes one complimentary DVD Data Disc. Most orders are completed the same day and returned internationally, along with your original negatives and the new digital files.
REQUIREMENTS: Your standard 35mm negative strips must be at least two negatives long and we must scan the entire strip. We cannot selectively scan negatives on a strip (ex. frame #3a, #6A); it’s the entire strip that must be scanned. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed from our online pro lab ordering service.
We color and density correct and enhance each image using Digital ICE. (Note: Digital ICE cannot be used with B&W film. These negatives will be scanned without Digital ICE).
NEW: For $0.74 per exposure, have your negatives scanned at 4000 dpi creating a 16MP equivalent file. Best for museum-quality archival purposes. For this service, check the appropriate box on the order form of additional services.
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.
Ready to order? Click here to download the 35mm negative and APS film scanning order form.
APS – Kod
ak Advantix, Advanced Photo System Negative Scanning
The same service and options as 35mm film scanning but APS film is $9.95 for per roll, regardless of exposure count (15, 25 or 40 exposure). Due to APS’ smaller film size, file sizes are smaller at the same resolution when scanned, compared to 35mm film.
When scanning APS film the entire negative is scanned regardless of what you shot the layout to be. The way APS film worked was it always shot a 4×7 proportionate negative and then would be cropped accordingly when printed. We scan the entire negative that was shot and ignore what the setting on the camera was at the time of the picture giving you the full image.
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: APS film is self-contained in the canister. Please do not remove or attempt to remove the film from the cartridge.
NOTE: While this occurs only occasionally, we have found that over the years, some places decided to process and print APS film but did want to make the investment into the required equipment to do so. These labs would remove the film from the cartridges, tape it to a card and process the film. Unfortunately, when you use this process, you have to cut the film and official APS film printers/scanners require a very specific minimum length of film. If it is even the slightest bit short, it then becomes unprintable/unscannable with the proper equipment, which we have. Sometimes labs would get lucky with their cutting, however most of the time, it was cut too short for official equipment. Since we don’t have any other way to scan APS film, we are unable to scan those rolls and will be returned with a note.
Click here to download the 35mm negative and APS film scanning order form.
Medium Format Negative Scanning
We can scan single cut or strip cut medium format. Pricing for single cut or cut rolls is noted below. As with standard 35mm
negatives and slides, all scans are processed with Digital ICE to color correct and remove dust and scratches that may be present. Standard scanning of medium format is done at 1000dpi. High-resolution scans are scanned at 2000dpi for double the cost. Due to medium format’s larger frame, we can scan them at a lower resolution resulting in high quality scans when compared to standard 35mm. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed. 6×4.5, 6×6, 6×7, 6×8, or 6×9 format only.
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.
Medium Format Scan Prices (cost per frame)
Quantity…….1000dpi……….2000dpi
1-125……………$2.48…………..$4.96
126-750…………$2.14…………..$4.28

Stepping back from our regular Tales from the World of Photo Scanning updates and profiles on the photo imaging industry, as well-known entrepreneurs and photo industry leaders, our success at ScanMyPhotos.com has been based on innovation and stirring up new ways to reinvent our business, ever since we were founded in 1990.
This is why the recent nationwide Starbucks Coffee Company ad campaign raises such interest. “It’s Not Just Coffee. It’s Starbucks” ad campaign indirectly and precipitously assaults another American institution, McDonald’s Corporation. The poorly conceived ad campaign by Starbucks warrants a response, especially from entrepreneurs.
The copy editors who wrote this ad have a short memory. While they explain that Sta
rbuck’s products are not “a hobby or a potential new ‘revenue stream,’” they conveniently forgot about its prior head-to-head battle against McDonald’s for quick, hot breakfast sandwiches to compete against McDonald’s McMuffins.
Mitch Goldstone, president and CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com, and a longtime consumer advocate said “the Starbucks campaign is stifling competition and thwarting innovation and entrepreneurial inventiveness. Today, more than ever, smart businesses are incessantly reinventing themselves. That is exactly what McDonald’s is doing with it’s investment with its McCafe brand. However, by assaulting competition, Starbucks, the global coffee purveyor, is instead cheapening its brand.”
ScanMyPhotos.com salutes McDonald’s and its drive to heighten its product categories. They are employing thousands of people and supporting many new businesses that are connected with this new product launch. That is a good thing. However, this campaign which is frightening consumers and warning them, without directly mentioning McDonald’s that “their coffee may appear less expensive. But, buyer beware. It’s the hidden costs that will get you in the end,” is anticompetitive and wrong. Besides, according to the ad, about 66% of all Starbucks beverages cost more than $2.00.
The result, from our prospective is that the new campaign undermines and compromises Starbucks integrity.
Good bye Starbucks, hello McCafe!

The Editor’s Pick and also the Most Popular article right now at Switch is the one mentioning ScanMyPhotos.com. We’re cheering too!
Excerpt:
“9) ScanMyPhotos OK, so maybe you’re a good nerdy child, you’re getting mom all electronic with a digital camera, digital picture frame, camcorder and heck maybe even a Facebook page. But mom has spent decades accumulating memories in analog form-such as the thousands of photos sitting in the basement of in yellowing, cracking picture frames. No matter how much you love mom, you’re probably not going to take a week off to scan all her photos by hand. So hire someone. ScanMyPhotos.com makes it easy-offering 1,000 scans to 300-dpi JPEG images on DVD for a scant $50. You’ll have to spend some time sorting the pictures by size and bundling them up for shipping. But once you do, your work is done. $49.95 for 1,000 scans; scanmyphotos.com“

Yes, Delta Air Lines’ primary business objective is to safely get passengers to their destinations, but the story behind how they do it is a masterful entrepreneurial case study.
From the tens-of-millions of pictures that ScanMyPhotos.com digitizes, every order has something in common with airlines; travel pictures are regularly included within each order and create much of the treasured memories that become lifelong photo keepsakes. [Separately, Dan Carp, Delta's board chairman is an old time friend and the inspiration behind our success and reason we too constantly innovate our business model. Based also 
on Mr. Carp’s prior leadership as the Eastman Kodak Company’s CEO, it is no surprise that the airline is also so resourceful and steadfast in its resolve to always be creating new ways to be more efficient.]
Earlier this week, I attended the Kioskcom Self Service Expo in Las Vegas and experienced one of those educational lessons where you do not want it to end and take voluminous notes and garner inspiring ideas from. The visionary keynote speaker with sprightly ideas was Josh Weiss, Managing Director of Delta.com.
Just as how my company advanced from its early days – back in 1990 when we just developed film and printed pictures – into today’s international photo imaging ecommerce business and retail presence, Delta Air Line
s, the world’s largest airline, also is an entirely new company today. As ScanMyPhotos.com is in the picture business, Delta Air Lines is all about airplanes, but it is what is behind how they do their magic that sparks real innovations.
From Mr. Weiss’ presentation, it is clear that the airline is much more about convenience than just flying passengers to destinations. Delta Air Lines has designed the world’s most appealing and friendly interactive kiosk service and Ecommerce online solutions to speed up passenger experiences. They are constantly innovating. Just thirteen years ago, there were no kiosks in use by the airline, today, nearly 80% of all passenger transactions are placed from the electronic terminals rather than at the ticket counter.
Just as how we use our banks of Kodak photo kiosks at our Irvine-based retail photo center to compliment every customer experience, Delta Air Lines also is simplifying and improving their passenger’s encounters.
Their objective is to keep customers happy.
An example is a new iPhone application that displays an electronic barcode boarding pass which is scanned at the gate – no more wasteful paper tickets. Today, customers at Delta gates experience literally no waiting due to the new Delta kiosks which interact with passengers and cause the airline’s employees to step out from behind the counter to personalize the ticketing experience and interact more as friends than robots.
Mr. Weiss explained that to further simplify the kiosk experience, even though there are multiple language selections, they made it super-easy. The proof is that rather than an “Order Now” prompt, the call to action has been minimized to just one word: “Start.” They made things really simple. At ScanMyPhotos.com we will follow that lesson by also simplifying our order prompts to just: “Start.”
These are shrewd lessons for all entrepreneurs to question how you too can constantly enhance your customer experience, while always be thinking and changing the way your company does business. At Delta Air Lines, nothing is stagnant and they are always inventing the next new service feature. Their commitment to passenger check-in kiosks is central to why Delta Air Lines is so entrepreneurial.
Each kiosk boasts plenty of personal space for luggage. They even position the kiosks to minimize any distractions for shadows caused by glare from outside sunlight. As for the airline’s self-service and Ecommerce business. I asked Mr. Weiss how he integrates social network marketing and Twitter into their business. He explained that when a corporate message is posted, there is not the same level of credibility as when it comes from a customer. There is more value when a message comes from peers, rather than just from his department. When Delta.com sends out a message they might get a handful of replies, when it comes from customers, dozens of responses are generated.

UPDATE: Thanks, David [Pogue] for your Tweet [Twitter.com/Pogue] after your “CBS News Sunday Morning” segment. [Article]. Great job and we’re loaded with inquiries. You really identified an important and urgent issue for having people solve their “data rot.”

Dear friends,
You may have known that over the past seven months, “CBS News Sunday Morning” was producing a segment profiling how to preserve your photo and other analog memories. The Cover Story by reporter David Pogue aired this morning, but, last evening we unfortunately were advised that due to editing the show, much of the ScanMyPhotos.com interview and presentation on how we do our magic ended up on the CBS News cutting room floor.
The challenge is, in anticipation, we significantly expanded our infrastructure, staffing and built a fresher, more advanced website to handle this nationwide exposure.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED: Because we are still linked on the CBS News site as the source, please share this update with your relatives and friends so they too can enjoy ScanMyPhotos.com and our newly enhanced photo imaging and archival services. As you may have seen on the program, there is an urgency to digitize your old photos and make new memories from all our other new services, including our Kodak photo kiosk products.
TELL A FRIEND: Your personal support is so appreciated by everyone at ScanMyPhotos.com. Our entire Internet operation is open today and ready to take orders.
Thank you!
Mitch Goldstone – president & CEO, ScanMYPhotos.com
[We added back the buy 2-get-3rd prepaid photo scanning box, a $124.95 savings, and use this promo code ("Twitter") at checkout to instantly save 10% (up to $25) on your next online placed photo scanning project].
The “CBS News Sunday Morning” TV cover story by reporter, author and NY Times tech columnist, David Pogue discussed “data rot–the tendency of new technologies to abandon recording and computer formats faster every year, leaving more and more audio, video and computer files behind.”
“Data Rot Sooner or later, it affects every audio recording, every video recording and computer file. Contributor David Pogue looks at what happens when technological progress leaves your most precious memories and recordings behind. Remember when you replaced that old film camera with that brand new videotape camera to record the treasured moments of your life? Well, where are they now? Does that camera still work? How about that old VCR? Have you graduated to DVDs yet? It’s funny how technology can promise us the world and then take it all away with the next generation of contraptions. Sunday Morning contributor and New York Times technology reporter David Pogue will explain how we can preserve our precious memories in our Sunday Morning Cover Story.”
