Save Those Photos!

What do you do with all of your travel photos when you’re on the road? Do you have a way to keep your memories safe in case disaster strikes (a stolen camera, laptop or accident involving your RV) or an easy method for sharing your photos & experiences with far-away family and friends?

These are questions we didn’t ask ourselves until we became full-time RVers and it wasn’t long after we hit the road that we realized we needed a better way of handling all the pictures we were accumulating.

We’ve been using SmugMug photo hosting for a few years now and are really pleased with the site and service. In fact, you can find all of our travel photos (and more!) at our photo site, Chippewa Marine Photography, on SmugMug.

There are other photo hosting sites on the web, many with no fee, but we didn’t find the others to be adequate for our particular needs. We especially appreciate SmugMug’s unlimited number of uploads and the large file sizes accepted! With the amount of photos you can accumulate traveling this beautiful country of ours – and with today’s constantly improving digital cameras and ever increasing picture sizes – these are must-have features for us. The hosting fees are reasonable and a small price to pay for the peace of mind and convenience we need as full-time RVers.

Regardless of who you choose to host your photos with, or how, we encourage you to store and share your photos somewhere other than your RV. You’ll be happy to have your years of memories intact if the unthinkable ever happens and on the bright side – it’s an easy way to share your adventures with others!
