The Best Investment

Posted in uncategorized at 8:00 am by Administrator

Over the years I have made many purchases of cameras, equipment, computers, accessories etc… I consider the best investment I ever made was when I purchased a Ceiva as a gift to my Father in Florida. The Ceiva is a digital photo receiver with a 5 x 7 viewable screen. It simply plugs into a power outlet and a phone line. Push the button on the back and Waalah!!! Pictures appear every day.
 
My Father never took the leap into the age of computers, internet and email, so he wouldn’t get a chance to see much of my photos if it weren’t for the Ceiva. Each day he receives 20 images that I have uploaded to the Ceiva web site. I can store up to 1000 images on the site and set the preferences to select random images or if I have a group of new pictures, I can choose to send those. The Ceiva dials up to the server every night and downloads the new set of pictures.
 
My Dad keeps the Ceiva on the kitchen counter where he sits and has his coffee and reads the paper every morning. Dad says its one of those little things that he looks forward to waking up to in the morning. On his birthday or holiday (or just for the heck of it), I create a special greeting card in Photoshop and send that for the next day. When neighbors, friends or company visits, he always takes them over to the Ceiva to view the current selection of pictures.
 
I won’t begin to describe how much the Ceiva means to us, but there’s no doubt it holds a special value. Here’s a link to the web site for more information.  http://www.ceiva.com/
