Photography question
I know you usually come to a blog to get answers. When you come to this one you get questions! Ha ha ha ! Pretend friends rule.
Today I have this question: I have too many images on my mac computer. I should save them. What should I save them to?
A memory stick would need a lot of memory? Should I buy a bunch of little memory sticks? Should I save them to a disc?
All of you who are contest entrants won't have to wait long for the winner announcement. I'll pick soon.
The image is of the lap prayer shawl for my dad. Fireman built us a lovely fire pit this week. I wanted to used it as backround before the first fire!
Fireman predicts that my dad won't use the lap shawl. He says no self respecting man would use a lap shawl. We'll see who is right! My father is a outdoors, sporting, golfing, man. My Fireman used to think it was odd that I grew up in a house with a rifle cabinet. My mother keeps the house so cold you could hang meat in it on any given day. I think he'll use it!
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I've owned four Macs a good many years and only one simply died.
I'm beginning to think we live parallel lives. My Mac has over 10,000 photos on it. I mentioned to my computer-geek son that I was very nervous about it crashing one day and he bought me an external hard drive for Mother's Day. He backed up everything from my computer onto it and showed me how to update the backup every week. It's easy to do. I also plan to move some of my older photos to the hard drive in a separate place and delete them from my computer.
I plan on knitting my Dad a lap shawl and I know he'll use it. My mom knitted one for herself and he has confiscated it. We grew up with a gun cabinet in the house, too.

Lets see what else we have going in common. I love it. Does you left arm hurt in anywaY?
Did you just get a hairtrim this week?
Did you have a campfire or two this week?
I do believe your father will use the lap robe especially if the house is usually cold. He will love it when he gets used to ti!!
He says he's thinking of getting me something I'd never expect. Really? THis could be fun!
As for the EHD, I'm already saving for one. I have 2 dollars in the kitty! I love to save for something.
My daughter knocked my external hard drive off the counter while it was on and it died with all the photos. If I did not have the CD back ups I would have lost all the photos.
Everyone has suggested an EHD and that is what I use too, but you know about wearing both a belt AND suspenders, well I also burn them onto DVDs - they hold MUCH more than a CD. Much more. And, if you have a MAC of even relatively recent vintage then you'll have a DVD burner built in. Lucky you. You can do it right now and not have to save up.
Now off to answer another question for the contest
But then, I'm ocd like that! I learned the hard way; not only did we lost all of my granddaughter's newborn photos, we then proceeded to lose all of her baby brother's as well!!!
