We all have boxes of photos stored away or photo albums that we’re “going to put in albums one day.” It’s just something that goes on the to-do list with things like “clean closets,” or “clean out attic and have a yard sale.”
Storing photos in boxes and failing to convert photos to digital files isn’t something you want to put off though. An old pair of shoes may just require some shining before their condition is restored, but if you leave photos in boxes and storage, it’s likely that they may suffer some damage, and unfortunately, a bottle of shoe polish won’t fix them.
