Create YOUR iPhone Apps in Minutes!

There you sit, sorting through all those old pictures. Here is the photo of you and your best friend in school, and the picture of you when you got your drivers license. Pictures everywhere, you had meant to put them into a photo album but some how they stayed in this box; at least you reason it is a nice pretty (big box) that you made to hold pictures and mementos.
Then things got easy for you; digital photography came along and you didn't have to worry about photo albums, you could just keep them on those disc which-a-ma-call-its; right whatever they are. So now you have thousands of photos, heck you even just found a half dozen undeveloped 35mm film canisters, and you gotta have them developed; you gotta know what they are of. Hopefully time has been good to them and they will turn out.
Now to bring all this into focus today, your cousin, or sister, or the guy down the street is talking about photo sharing and go online and have them keep, or organize your photos on some photo sharing site some where online (I THINK)????? Help, what do I do to keep my memories safe and in a fashion that I can get to them.
Here is your answer; this is the answer to the looming question that you didn't even know you had. My god what do I do with these thousands of pictures and photos???
SmugMug!!! The best little, big photo company on the planet; and this is why they should be your photo sharing company of choice.

45 employees. More than 300,000 paying customers. 585,204,487 photos and counting.
We'll always be smaller than the photo-sharing divisions of giant companies.
Which is a very good thing. "
This is our story, straight from their website and we Quote all this with pride...
"Jaws of death
To our friends it seemed we were following our hearts into the jaws of death.
It was 2002, when Internet companies were collapsing. Our competitors would be Microsoft, Sony, Canon, and Kodak.
Passion
We were hopelessly in love with the Internet and digital photography.
What's better than priceless photos of life's best moments, summoned with a click? Everyone has a shoebox in the closet where irreplaceable photos decay, alone and unseen. We believe in our souls that a photo online is worth ten in the closet.
It was a moment of truth for our belief that passion is the most important thing in business. We all know passion explains why Apple, Harley-Davidson and Starbucks thrive but we swallowed hard when we considered the odds against us.
The difference
If you really care about your photos, do you want ads alongside them? You don't put ads in your photo albums at home. The big brands can't resist inserting ads in your albums, and requiring your visitors to register so they can market to them. Our hearts led us to design ad- and spam-free albums. One point for passion.
They won't let you hide their logos and decorate your albums like you can at home. We love to see it. Two points for passion.
They won't let your mom in Atlanta download high-resolution versions of your photos to print at home. Three points. No full-screen slide shows. Four. There are many more.
Security
Three years after starting, we became the trustees for the priceless photos of 50,000 families, the equivalent of a medium-sized city. Gone are the sharing sites of many trusted brands.
We did it without taking debt because we felt a great sense of responsibility for the photos we store. Our pay in the beginning was huge: the joy of working with each other doing what we love, and the bonds that form when you struggle for a great cause. Delayed gratification was worth the reward.
Family
SmugMug was started by CEO Don MacAskill and then he hired his father, along the way the contagion spread to the rest of the family. They left their promising careers and two SmugMug MacAskills became seven, solving the Silicon Valley problem of not enough time for family. Our favorite activity is to work long hours together on exciting new features. And the rest of the SmugMug team has become family too.
Even our customers consider themselves part of the family. We revel in seeing their photos of weddings, newborns, Peace Corps assignments, athletic triumphs...
Dreams
My jaw dropped when I heard that my former employer, Steve Jobs, would give the commencement speech at my alma mater, Stanford University. Had he ever been to a college graduation?
But he said something powerful there I knew he believed: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
It's how our family's dreams came true."
