Since the development of the instant camera, the photography’s world has changed. You can take a not so great shot with a digital camera and using a wide range of software options, you can make it perfect. Moreover, for just a few cents per picture, you can print one on quality paper at a store kiosk or on your printer. Much like the flash drive storage medium, in order to save and file pictures for sharing on the web, technology has created memory cards. From the memory card, you can quickly and easily upload pictures to your website, blog, family or friends.
