Whenever I go somewhere I take a camera. Whether I am with my family or I am alone. Why do I do this? Well… for me I am a bit of a photographer, amateur at best, but still a photographer none-the-less. I feel that it is important to be able to capture memories to be able to share with others and I do this through the images that I capture and then I go from there and tell stories about the images that I have.
The challenge I run into though is storing the images in a safe place so that they are easy to access, but also so that they are safe from corruption. I have purchased two external hard drives and so far one has stopped working because it is not compatible with upgraded software and the other is getting full already too.
That is why I was impressed that YesVideo offers the opportunity to burn your images onto DVD’s. I know that when I burn them myself I am always running up against the challenge of time as it does take quite a bit of my time to be able to make any DVDs that I want. With YesVideo, all I have to do is send off my images to them and they do all the heavy lifting. Also, I have security of mind to know that the images and other materials that I send in are secure as YesVideo keeps all material that they receive locked up and tagged until they are being used and then they send it back to me in just as secure of a manner.
Why do I like keeping my images on DVD? Well, for me I tend to look at them more and I can easily bring them out and share them with others too. No longer do they sit on a hard drive and only get looked at every so often.
I completely recommend the services of YesVideo to help you preserve your own family memories, as in my opinion, safe guarding them is as important as the memories themselves.

As a father who was an only child growing up I have to say that I was a bit out of my elements in regards to knowing much about what it meant to be a father of a girl (I still feel this way much of the time). When my first daughter was born I had to learn much about anatomy and what to do with this different anatomy so that they remained clean and healthy.
When I was younger, in high school mostly, I was very involved in the fine arts. I was in band, jazz band and marching band, playing the trumpet, sang in two choirs and was active in all of the plays and musicals that the drama department put on in the three years that I was in high school (9th grade was in the middle school at that time). As I have gotten older, I have continued to sing, but my acting as well as my playing of the trumpet has lessened to a point where I am really not doing this anymore.
I still love going and watching musicals and plays and love sharing these theatrical experiences with my daughters so that they can explore the artistry of the art of acting and singing. I also love to have my girls listen to a variety of different musical styles. My youngest is currently loving to listen to blues and tango/latin music.
With all of this in mind, I am so happy to have some VHS tapes showing me in the groups in which I performed. I have given these to my daughters to watch in the past and I think they like seeing daddy dressed up on stage and find it funny to watch him act or to play his trumpet. The challenge though that I am having most recently though is the fact that these tapes are on VHS and I am worried as I have had more and more of our VHS Recorders stop working.
So recently I was looking for a way to transfer some of these performances from VHS to DVD and I was happy to find 
I mean what else can you say to this question, but yes! I think the first time any father gets this type of question they are probably as shocked as I was, as any parent thinks that their children are the most beautiful thing they have ever seen, right? If a father does not believe this then they need to truly think to consider for themselves what kind of father they are or that they want to be.
As I work full time I find that it is not always easy to stay on top of the issues of balancing parenthood and employment. There are definite times when I am pulled away from my family be be gone early in the morning and working until late in the evening and even other times when I have to fly to attend conferences or visit other places. This is hard on me and hard on them!
I usually use a mixture of film and video to explore Bear’s adventures. I am currently on our second Bear as the first decided about a year ago to stay in Philadelphia because he loves Cheese steak sandwiches. My daughter was not happy about this (nor was I), but she seems to be holding up so far even though the sadness does make a difference.
Think March Madness, only with TV Dads, and what do you get, yes, that’s right, 
For mother’s day today we had a blast today and were able to go out and celebrate the day at 
for a step back in time. This HUGE venue is filled with amazing treasures for you and your family to share. I will be focusing my comments on Greenfield Village today, but the Henry Ford Museum also is amazing and you could easily spend two days wandering around this museum, learning and experiencing everything.
One example of this was the working farm. The Firestone (Yes, like the tires) home is a beautiful home from the 1800′s and at Greenfield Village it is still in working condition and the people working daily at it come straight out of the 1800′s as well. That means from working the land to cooking in the home, men and women are in traditional garb and they work hard to make the farm a working one. I can tell that the people working at this farm and at a number of the other period houses and locations work very hard at their job!
On top of all of this was the actual event that I was hear to report on, which was a Day out with Thomas! Not only was it fun to be able to see the actual Thomas the Train, but also the park was alive with fun Thomas related games, movies, and even Sir Topham Hat! You are surrounded by the world of Thomas the Train and you can even leave the park with a bag filled with Thomas the Train items as there is a gift shop specifically geared toward the fan.
