Scan My Photos

The Photo Detective

Scanning photos can be tedious work especially when you're digitizing slides. Imagine that there was a service that could do it for you. I'm not advocating sending out your original 19th century photos for scanning but there no reason why you couldn't use a service for late 20th snapshots and for all those slides. That's where ScanMyPhotos.com comes in.

My guest today is Mitch Goldstone. He is co-founder and CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com which has professionally preserved 600 million happy memories, family milestones, and special events for its customers since 1990. Mitch is a well-known leader in the photo imaging and tech industry who is regularly profiled by the national news media for his innovations and advocacy issues.

We chatted about scanning. Everything from how it works to their super fast turnaround. Mitch and I had some photo related ideas for your family reunion. It's the perfect event for photo identification gathering.
