I've had a passion for photography since my high school days as yearbook editor, but the passion was mostly untapped aside from a short run of film photography courses that I took as an undergrad... that is until motherhood hit. Today, I take hundreds of pictures (mostly thanks to the ease of digital) without even thinking about, and when asked about my favorite web site my answer is usually Shutterfly. I love the site because there seems to be no limit to the number of photos that I can share (great for the oober-photo fanatic), and there are so many creative options on how to compile and present photos. Oh, and if you buy enough they give you lots of offers for freebies along the way.
A couple of weeks ago, Shutterfly introduced a new component to their site. Taking lessons from the general web 2.0 movement, they now have a Community Gallery for sharing photobooks. There are many examples of traditional scrapbook-type books, but there are a handful of books posted already in storybook formats, including parents that have used photos and the photobook format to create original stories for their kids. These little original books are sure to be treasured for generations to come.
