Showcase Your Digital Photos

With the advent of new digital cameras, I find I'm taking more pictures -- a lot more. And I'll bet you are, too.

Five years ago I used to budget my shots to save film. Now I can shoot pictures faster than Rambo shoots bad guys.

OK, so what's the problem? Well, having all these pictures is nice, but how the heck do I view them all or show them to my friends? They look pretty good on a PC, but who wants to crowd around a computer to view pictures? I sure don't, especially after spending every working day looking at a PC. And I'd go broke printing them all on my photo printer.

And if there's one thing we're about in The Millionaire Zone, it's not going broke. So what to do, then, with all these memories?

Wouldn't it be pleasant to watch them on your nice, new high-definition living room TV, in the comfort of that plush leather sectional, with some cool sound added for effect? Like the good old days, when you curled up on a Saturday night with your family to look at those vacation slides? Sure it would. But how can you do this?

As it turns out, bringing photos into your living room isn't really all that difficult. The choices depend on what you have, what you want to buy and how your pictures are currently stored.

In the worst-case scenario, you've got shoe boxes or albums full of paper photos. You've wanted to archive them anyway. If so, you've got a choice -- spend hours scanning them yourself or send them off to a scanning service. Unless you have a large number of art-quality photos, you're probably better off just scanning the ones you'll want to share and saving the rest in an archival box.
