For the past couple of months YesVideo has been hosting a PhotoADay Challenge on Instagram. I participated really well in October but not so good in November but I am back and strong for December. I hope that the other YesVideo ambassadors and I hope that a lot of you guys will participate.
To participate get an Instagram account and take photos. Then tag the photos with #PhotoADay, #YesMemory plus the day’s theme and also tag @YesVideo’s Instagram account as well. It is a great way to have fun with other Instagram photographers and do something a little silly each day. And then there is trying to come up with something for each day’s theme.
Also Don’t forget that if you want to get your memories preserved by YesVideo in time for Christmas then the deadline to drop off materials at CVS is Monday December 3.
Disclosure: This post was created in connection with my appointment as an Ambassador for YesVideo. Visit www.facebook.com/yesvideo to join the conversation.
I posted to Facebook this statement “Preserving Christmas Past for Christmas Future with YesVideo and CVS but you gotta act by December 3 if you want these for Christmas Present(s) (See what I did there) Go to http://www.cvsyesdvd.com/ for more info” It was a timely Christmas Carol themed play on words but one that is pretty important if you are thinking about turning some of your old memories into high quality digital keepsakes. I was a YesVideo Ambassador this past March to June and I learned a lot about the company and what they do. I visited the company and I saw the YesVideo operation firsthand. they helped me preserve a photo of my Mom from her childhood and also my Parent’s wedding photos that my Great-Uncle had taken and were trapped on slides. I know that people have old videotapes, film reels, photographs and slides that they’d love to see preserved. I also know that something always gets in the way of getting that done. Thinking that you are going to sit down and do it yourself is the biggest and worst offender. I’ve got a scanner, a high quality camera and all the equipment for preserving my own movies and photos but have I done any other than those that I did back in college when I got my first scanner? No. Continue reading Preserve Christmas Past for Christmas Future→
