CommuterMom: Worth a Thousand Words

We must take hundreds of pictures of CommuterGirl and our dog every month. For every good picture, we probably get five blurry ones. But, that’s what I love about the digital camera — you can take as many shots as you need to get it just right.

I dutifully download everything to the computer…and do nothing else. CommuterDad and I have family spread out all of the country, in fact the world, who are always eager to see new pictures. Sending them as attachments is very cumbersome; I’ve tried a couple of the photo sites, but none of them have thrilled me. And I haven’t found one that would allow us to share the video clips either.

How do you share your digital pictures and videos? Any advice on great photo sharing sites?

It makes it very easy to e-mail a bunch of photos at once to as many or as few people as you want. It also allows you to create slideshows with captions, etc. and then e-mail those or burn them to CD or DVD. I highly recommend it, even if you also choose to use a web-based site as well.; September 21, 2007 9:50 AM

They also have software called Ofoto that you can use to upload your photos as well. It's great because family members can then order prints from the site.; September 28, 2007 10:03 AM

We are a group of colleagues, friends and working mothers who wanted to find a way to share our experiences as parents with others and to seek the advice of those who have encountered and successfully overcome some of the ordinary and not-so-ordinary challenges of working motherhood. Among ourselves we have 10 children: boys and girls, babies through school-agers, children who are adopted and not-adopted, have special needs and those who don’t, and each of whom is precious in their own right. As professionals, our experiences range from child care to politics, writing to retail. In the interest of full disclosure, we all work for Bright Horizons, and some of us are beneficiaries of the company’s child care services. But this blog is meant to provide a community of support and discussion for all working mothers (fathers welcome too!), and you need no affiliation with Bright Horizons to be a part of the conversation.

We hope you enjoy and join the dialogue too.
