They are visual records of our children, from birth to adulthood. How many times have you gathered around the kitchen table, reminiscing about important family events while poring over photo album after photo album? The advent of digital photography has kindled an upsurge in personal photography, from casual, candid photos taken with a camera on your phone to keepsakes to be passed on to future generations, shot with high end digital cameras. Digital photography allows us to store hundreds, even thousands, of these memories on our personal computers. But this also brings with it the possibility of lost digital photos.
