Most recently, in Louisville, Colorado, Jennifer lost nearly everything to a wildfire. The pictures we digitized for her had smoke damage, and several even had burn marks on the snapshots. There are too many instances where people do not digitize their photographs, slides, film negatives, and pre-digital home movies. Then, natural disasters happen, and they lose everything. | Beyond the ravages of time which cause pictures to fade away, the weather is the top reason billions of photographs are destroyed each year. Yet it is 100% preventable if people plan ahead, digitize their photos, and back them up.
