How Scantastic! Options For Scanning Movie Film and Video Tapes to Bring Them Into Your Digital LifeRHONDA VIGEANT

Assisting our clients in moving film and tape from its original analog state into our digital world can be daunting. There are many variables to consid-er.

We want to learn best practices for backing up moving images and what we need to consider when select-ing how much digital space we want. Scanning Technology is in a constant state of evolution. In this presentation we will look at new trends in scan-ning technology that will influence what we advise our clients so they can make an educated decision that best fits their personal archiving goals and objectives.

Cathi NelsonMAINSTAGE SPEAKER

Cathi fell in love with photography in high school as the photo editor of her school yearbook. She soon found herself working two jobs to save up to buy her first professional camera. From that day on, Cathi became the photo historian of her family and friends. When her adopted son was placed in her arms years later, Cathi developed a passion for creating life book photo albums that she used to tell his personal story and how he came to be part of their family. She soon found herself sharing this passion with others and built a profitable business teaching others to do the same. By 2007, Cathi noticed a change as consumers shifted to digital photography. Not only was she helping people with their printed photos, but their growing, digital collections as well. Recognizing that this problem was only going to accelerate, she founded the Association of Personal Photo Or-ganizers - a community dedicated to serving the needs of its members through training, support, and collaboration with industry partners. APPO has also played a key role in establishing a code of ethics that sets high standards for the rapidly growing photo-life industry. Today, Cathi remains firmly rooted in her vision to empower others to use visual storytelling as a means of preserving and sharing their personal life journeys.
