  Your new photos are with you all the time, on your iPhone; your pre-digital ones sit in a shoe box until you get around to scanning them, which never happens. The New Jersey company FotoBridge turns that collection of analog love into ones and zeros, and you get everything back on one neat DVD. Their high-end scanners enhance color, contrast, and sharpness, and for additional fees you can have FotoBridge scan notes on the backs of the photos or compile a bound album. After as little as a few days—though a stash of 4,000 photos might take three weeks—you’ll receive scans and originals back (from $44.95 for up to 250 photos, shipping included).
