Take photos of your family.
Distance is no object—that’s why we have Skype and screenshotting (Cmd-Shift-3 on the Macintosh).
I’m going to try to use ScanCafe to digitize my parents old photos quickly. I am receiving it as “a thank you gift” during KQED Public Radio’s last pledge drive. The idea is they send you a box, you fill it with photos and slides, and then they give you DVDs with them digitized.
We’ll see how that goes.
Update: Here they are (and some of the ones here).
