If you view our newsletters with Outlook 2007 they don't look as well laid out as they do when I create them. Click here for a better version.

Shopping Container !
 We were pleased to finally have a secure site right outside the Ag Art Wear Pavilion. We have been sponsoring the event for 10 years but have always being too far way to get in and watch parts of the show. NZL Cube modified a container for us and turned it into a lock-up shop with ranch-sliders. Sam & Dom set the shop up and worked four long days with the help of a few reps on the weekdays and Jill on Saturday.

Who needs an easy way to backup photos?
We've just received a shipment of the 250GB PICTURE KEEPER - a simple automatic picture back-up device. Picture Keeper does all the back-up work for you...
- Plug the Picture Keeper drive into any USB port on your PC or Mac
- Click "Start Backup" and watch the Picture Keeper automatically find and save all your pictures
- Unplug and store in a safe place.
That's it! ...What's more, subsequent backups are fast because Picture Keeper will only copy the newest images when you use it again to save your recently added or changed pictures.

Picture Keeper - How it works!
Please note - demo shows thumb-drives. We only stock the
250GB external hard-drive version |

Drowning in a sea of photos?
Lat month I introduced you to our new "PERSONAL PHOTO ORGANISING" services. Read more here....
I 'm working on presentations to help those kiwis who like to do things themselves. I'll share ideas and techniques you can use to organise photos, movies, digital images, and to back-up them up so that if a disaster did threaten your house you could walk out leaving your photos behind confident that every important photo has been copied and archived at another location.
I'm available to speak to groups on any, or all three, of these topics, daytime or evening.
- the ABC'S of Printed Photo Organisation (traditional photos/slides)
- the ABC'S of Digital Photo Organisation (image files on PCs, etc)
- the ABC'S of Organising Memorabilia (movies, tapes, certificates, awards, letters, cards, artwork, etc)
I will also be holding evening classes in-store but need at least six participants to run these. Phone Jill at (07) 838 0031 or email jill@snapshot.co.nz to discuss further.

Feel free to share this email with friends using the "forward email" link at the bottom of this email. We look forward to seeing you again soon and helping you with your camera and photo memories.
Regards
Jill & the team

Understanding Your Camera Workshop
This is definitely coming soon!
Inspired by a couple of Aussies doing workshops over the ditch and with the addition of Dom to our staff we are nearly ready to go. Thanks for your patience.
The initial workshop will be "Understanding Your Camera". Our Aussie mates found participants gained the best value with "learning by doing" workshops with tuition in the morning and practical in the afternoon.
When we have finalised the dates, prices and location we'll send out a special e-mail invitation.
So watch this space!
