From childhood birthdays and family vacations to snapshots of loved ones and everyday life, photos hold pieces of our histories that can’t be replaced. Yet, many of these memories remain tucked away in boxes, vulnerable to damage, time and unexpected disasters like floods and fires. This September, Epson is teaming up again with The Photo Managers to support Save Your Photos Month, a global awareness campaign dedicated to helping individuals and families protect treasured photo and video memories and the stories behind them. Now in its 12th year, this year’s “One Photo, One Story” campaign invites people everywhere to choose one meaningful photo and share the story behind it on social media using #OnePhotoOneStory, underscoring the importance of preserving both photos and the stories that give them meaning.
“Photos hold our family stories, milestones and the voices of the people we love, but too often, the story behind a photo is lost long before the photo itself,” said Cathi Nelson, Founder of The Photo Managers. “This year’s ‘One Photo, One Story’ campaign is about encouraging families to preserve both. With free educational resources and easy-to-use technology like the FastFoto®, protecting and sharing these meaningful memories and the stories behind them is more accessible than ever.” Save Your Photos Month began as a grassroots response to catastrophic disasters including the Joplin tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy and the Calgary floods, which destroyed countless irreplaceable family photo collections. It has since grown into a global movement offering free education, expert advice and events every September to teach people how to digitize, organize and preserve their photo and video collections.
