One hobby that I have had for as long as I can remember is taking pictures. Even back when I was young I had a passion for taking pictures and had my mom sign me up for this photography class with our local 4-H community. As a teen, I kept taking those pictures and my friends used to call me the camera lady. Know that now that I have a family of my own, my camera never really gets a break. When I am not taking dozens of pictures of my family and foods, I can usually be found taking pictures of products and such for my blog. I seriously have way too many photos and I hate to delete any photo that isn’t blurry.
For those of you that have lots of pictures on your hard drive like me, you might want to have a Picture Keeper on hand.
The Picture Keeper is a flash drive that automatically finds and saves your digital photos for you and stores them on the drive. No software to install and is compatible with both Mac OSX and Windows. All you do is pop the drive into your computer and it will find your photos for you. The Picture Keeper can hold up to 8,000* of your photos on one handy little backup-drive.
You can use this drive on multiple computers that are PC and Mac compatible. Once one of your Picture Keeper fills up, just use another one and the second will continue where the first left off. How handy is that? You can also use the drive to backup your videos too!
I have a few computers that I have saved here at my house that have photos from years ago. I am going to use my Picture Keeper to find the photos on those drives so I save them to my external drive I now keep with all my 61,309+ photos.
Be sure to score a FREE Picture Keeper by making a purchase at MailPix.

I would die if I lost my photos, this looks like a great back up idea!
Stefani says
I would die too! I have so many pictures that I am almost ready for another external drive.

I love this idea a Picture keeper. I have 4 kids and I take hundreds of photos a year and I have tons saved on my puter I dont know what I’d do if I lost them all. Thanks for the idea

Hundreds a year? I could take that in just a month. I want the pictures that I have on my old computers now.

What a great idea! I have hundreds (actually thousands) of photos and this is a great way to ensure my favorites are kept safe.

I’ve never heard of the picture keeper before, this would have been helpful for my wife. She had a Hard Drive failure and lost a lot of photos. My wife would love this for Mother’s Day.

I don’t think it’s practical for me because I take too many photos, but for a child or college student, this could be wonderful.
