Someday, someone will pick up an old photo and ask, “Who’s that?” That’s why saving the story matters just as much as digitizing your pictures.

Our photo archivists email photo-saving ideas, useful tips + occasional subscriber deals.

SMALL BUSINESSES, STOP GIVING AWAY PROFITS!

Holiday gift guide season! “Influencers” want FREE products. You pay for the products and shipping. They get free stuff. You get “exposure” on a blog nobody reads. Ask for audience numbers first!

Want to surprise your family this holiday?

Don’t tell them. Find the old photos. Get them scanned. Put them on the TV when everyone’s together. Then watch their faces.

The best gift may be the pictures they forgot existed.

Apparently #PrimeBigDealDays is a media holiday now.

A $2.8 TRILLION company has a sale and gets headlines everywhere.

Meanwhile, millions of small businesses have deals too.

Hey media, WE’RE ALL RIGHT HERE. 👋

61% CHANCE DEMS TAKE THE SENATE. 86% THE HOUSE. Maybe Trump’s rhetoric is finally catching up with him. People may simply be tired of the anger and noise. If these forecasts are right, that exhaustion could reshape Washington. What changed? #Midterms2026

ENOUGH BAD NEWS. SHARE SOMETHING GOOD.

Something made you happy today. Post it.

Someone scrolling by might be having a really rotten day. Your little bit of good news could be exactly what makes them stop, smile and stick around for a while.

I guess if Inc Magazine is gonna write about your company name, it’s better to be an example of what to do than what not to do.

ScanMyPhotos.com is apparently still a pretty good name.

Business owners: ever get a new customer who’s “celebrity adjacent” and somehow expects everything free? We treat everyone the same. Same price. Same service. Being related to someone famous doesn’t come with a coupon. Does this happen to you too?

92 DAYS UNTIL #CES2027

Trump wants AI renamed “SI.” Super Intelligence.

CES will have thousands of companies showing off tech built around AI.

So I have a very Vegas question:

What’s the over/under on how many show up calling it SI?

I’m taking the under. 😂

What’s your bet?

PARENTS, HERE’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Want to know what your teenager may be like when they grow up?

Look at their friends.

Really look at them.

Those kids may tell you more about where your child is headed than almost anything else.

POLITICS NEEDS MORE OF THIS

REMEMBER WHEN Bill de Blasio’s biracial son Dante popped up in a 30 sec. ad for his dad? You noticed. Then he nailed it: “I’d say that even if he weren’t my dad.” It helped change the race. THIS is what I miss. Tell us why YOU should win. Not why the other guy sucks.

Some singers made hits. Freddie Jackson made memories. First dances. First kisses. Broken hearts. “Rock Me Tonight” comes on now, and 1985 walks right back into the room. RIP. #FreddieJackson

What does #$AMD have to do with ScanMyPhotos.com? More than you might think.

We scan old photos. We turn them into digital files. AMD makes chips that help computers work with digital images.

Different businesses. Same digital world.

Every e-commerce company should ask one question after every order: “How did you hear about us?”

We do. Look what Michael from N Attleboro, MA just told us:

“Referred by a friend, then researched on web for competitors.”

He compared us. He came back. He ordered.

Thanks, Michael. This made my day

When COVID shut down America, millions of small businesses grabbed the SBA EIDL lifeline to survive. Few imagined those 4 letters could later devastate the biz’ they were created to save. That’s the cruel irony of EIDL.

If you’re visiting someone with dementia, bring a few old family photos. Don’t quiz them about names or dates. Just sit together and look. They may not remember who is in the picture. That’s okay. The photo can still bring comfort, a smile, a feeling. That matters.

October 7, 1998. Matthew Shepard was 21. Beaten, tied to a fence and left alone to die because he was gay.

28 years later, I still think about that fence. The cold. The silence. A young man who should have gone home that night.

NEVER FORGET.

May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

Every Old Photo Is Missing Something Important: www.scanmyphotos.com/blog/2026/10...

Look at an old printed photo long enough, and you eventually realize how much isn’t in the picture. A photograph captures what happened in front of the camera. The story explains everything the picture left out.

Apparently it’s Prime Day, that magical holiday when the entire internet becomes Amazon’s unpaid sales department. 😂

Here’s a better treasure hunt: find one small business having a ridiculously good deal nobody’s talking about.

In the 1950s, TV was going to ruin kids. In the 1970s, calculators meant they’d never learn math. In the 1990s, the internet meant they’d never learn to think for themselves. Today it’s AI. Every generation seems convinced the newest technology will ruin the next one.

“IT’S GONNA ASK YOU A QUESTION” IS NOW A THREAT.

You’re standing at a counter. They hand you what you bought. Then they spin that screen around and suddenly it’s suggesting a 25% tip.

For what? Handing it to me?

This has got to stop.

Just curious: Amazon is worth $2+ TRILLION. Why are we giving its sale so much free press? Small businesses like ours have Deals & Specials pages too. We’re just a little harder to find. 😉 #SmallBusiness

OH BOY. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

“Prime Big Deal Days starts tomorrow.”

Amazon is worth $2+ TRILLION. Does it really need reporters promoting its deals too?

Small businesses like ours have Deals & Specials pages nobody writes about. Maybe go find one.

CES 2027 IDEA:

The world record is 22,580 drones.

What company is crazy enough to put 45,160 drones over Las Vegas during CES and turn the entire night sky into its booth?

Now THAT would get noticed.
