How 'Fireflies' Came To Be...

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had incredible friends and family. I mean, seriously, these people were beautiful, brilliant *and* funny. The girl had many great times with these people and so she took tons of pictures. All the time.

Pictures, pictures, pictures!

...And then maybe a couple more pictures... when no one was looking. Her friends and family got to the point where they would ask her to take pictures for them for special occasions and portraits. To which she loved and happily agreed to do, of course!

After awhile, the girl became quite perplexed about what to do with all these great pictures? She loved flipping through them, but they were slowly piling up in the closet in shoe boxes, rarely to ever see the light of day.

Once she begrudgingly made the switch to digital photography (which she came to love), she realized that the pictures were no longer piling up in a closet never to be seen again... instead, they were piling up on a hard drive, rarely to be seen again.

"Such a shame!" she thought, of her sad and rarely reminisced pictures and memories. Then horror stuck deep in her heart... *gasp* what if her hard drive crashed?! Then what?

Something must be done! And could be done. But what exactly? ...it would take awhile to get that part locked down.
