I'm in the process of digitizing years of family print photos, taken years ago with a camera on film. I am scanning some of them myself (using my printer scanner and computer) and am having a company scan the majority of them. The end result will be a memory stick containing all the family photos, organized into folders, that I will give to each member of my immediate family.

This has been a multi-year project to collect all the photos, organize them, physically, into logical groups, and then start the digitizing process. A rough estimate is that I have around 3000 photos to process.

Has anyone digitized their family photos?

The island is currently under de facto occupation by the UAE, who have also been conducting illegal tours which bypass Yemeni customs and entry laws. The tours have been getting good reviews.

The UAE said if they were to acquire the island, they would develop tourism and infrastructure, improve security and make the locals more civilized. They would built resorts and restaurants so tourists would no longer have to rough it in tents. They would also institute more flights and tour operators, and UAE customs and entry regulations would apply, so many nationalities would be able to visit visaless.

The island is often reffered to as "the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean", and is an UNESCO heritage site, home to a large number of indemic species. A biologists and geographers Mecca. However, it being part of Yemen puts most people off from visiting. Being part of the UAE, would certainly make people less apprehensive. However, locals argue that this would ruin the island's pristineness, and most locals don't want to be part of a more civilized country.

Me personally, I'd like this. I would visit if the UAE took it. It would also benefit the UAE, as it would become more interesting.
