Weekly tech lesson: Don't waste time deleting photos.

Published: Thu, 02/14/19

Take a lot of pictures and you're bound to get some good ones!

So many times I hear people saying, "I took so many photos on our vacation, I'm never going to get the time to organize them. I have to sit down and do some serious deleting."

If you use Google Photos, you don't need to delete them. Just spend a little bit of time picking your best ones and add to an album. On our New Zealand trip, we took nearly one hundred photos on one day alone - the day we visited Hobbiton movie set. See the article:
