Creative Photo Sharing
Elevate your images above e-mail status with a more inspired approach to showcasing your best shots
By Joshua Young   

Creative Photo SharingE-mail is ideal for quick notes, but it’s not a great way to share photos. There are better options. Software and Web-based services make it easy to create multimedia slideshows and professionally printed books, cards and photo gifts. You can even create your own online broadcast of photos to which friends and family can subscribe. All of these options are an improvement over the chore of saving and opening attachments, especially when you want to share lots of photos.

Trade Tricks: Family Snapshot
Create a custom book to capture a slice of your child's early years
By Wes Pitts   

TT: Family SnapshotUnpacking some old boxes in storage, I stumbled on a relic from my childhood: a book by Dr. Seuss entitled My Book About Me. It’s intended for young children and attempts to capture all of the little details of the child’s daily life. The book lets the child be co-author, filling in details from his or her height and weight to the number of steps to the nearest mailbox and all kinds of other facts and trivia. I was happy that my parents had helped me make this record, and it was a blast learning that when I was five, I wanted to grow up to be either a fireman or a magician. I guess editor falls somewhere in between.

Trade Tricks: A Personal Photo Book
Display and store large prints in a way that’s both archival and convenient
By Vic Ramos   

TT: A Personal Photo BookNow that archival-quality, large-format prints cost only a few dollars and can be produced quickly, I find myself creating many more prints than I’m able to frame and display.
