“EverPresent is very professional and does high quality work. They nailed it from start to finish. Phone interaction, turnaround time, and most importantly, the work they did was top notch. I had 2 hi8 videos put on CD and am now going back to them for help fixing a couple of old cassette tapes and putting them on CD. I highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fantastic job bringing the past into the present and future. Memories on VHS To digital were carefully transferred to modern modem and the people who received them still revel with having great videos of individual milestones. Great company and even better service.”
“I had a great experience with EverPresent. I have to admit, I was very nervous about sending my very precious VHS tapes away, but EverPresent was very efficient and the process went along exactly as explained. The drop off/pick up location was at a nearby mall which was very convenient. I am thrilled to have my wonderful memories on a USB drive so that I can easily watch them.”
Testimonials are a social proof, a powerful way to inspire trust.
EverPresent Home & Office Pickup Service
EverPresent projects often have multiple moving parts, with media ranging across several formats and various stories to tell. Our team understands that trust is paramount. This is why many Connecticut families choose our personalized doorstep pickups. Doorstep pickups are easily booked by clicking the button below. You will get a call before your appointment where you can let us know exactly where you left your project (doorstep, porch, etc) and we will safely pick it up.
Your VHS to digital, photo albums, etc. are packed in weatherproof bins and barcoded before being taken to our state-of-the-art lab for processing.
You can now opt for a virtual prep session. This is completely optional. One of our senior consultants will schedule a Zoom call with you to offer their expertise and to simplify the process of organizing and preparing for digitizing. Afterward, we will schedule a doorstep pickup to safely take the material to our lab and bring it back when the project is wrapped up.
Connecticut’s Connections to Photography and Film
One well known portrait artist of this field, Augustus Washington, established one of the longest running daguerreotype studios right in Hartford, Connecticut.
How long can you keep your kids still for? While you are enjoying your children’s newly digitized school photos, take a moment to be grateful they didn’t have to stay unmoving for minutes just to get the shot. The early photography method called daguerreotypy required subjects to sit or stand completely still for several minutes at a time.
Edward Land, the inventor of the first Polaroid camera was born in Connecticut. Polaroids were the first type of “instant” photography- where you could see the results of your photo develop right before your eyes- no processing or darkroom required. Digital photography changed the face of instant photography, so these unique photos are one of the fews you can’t share copies of. If your friends want copies of your Instax, we can scan polaroids and instant film images of all shapes and sizes, for unlimited sharing with your pals.
Lee de Forest, a Yale alumni, invented a vacuum tube that made radio possible. This profound inventor also patented “Phonofilm” which was the advent of the “talkies.”
While George N Barnard, from Coventry, CT, took some of the first “news” photographs after he took pictures of a grainery fire. Barnard also photographed Lincoln’s inauguration, but is actually best known for his American Civil War photographs. Some of the most interesting photos we get to scan are vintage images which depict significant events of the past.
One of the best known modern photographers, known for her celebrity portraits, was born in Waterbury, Connecticut. If you have an extensive vinyl collection to digitize chances are one of the album covers was shot by Annie Leibovitz. She was the last person to photograph John Lennon, and created the image for Bruce Springsteen’s iconic Born in the USA album.
A photographer who retired in Connecticut has multiple of her photographs featured in Time’s “Most Influential Images of All Time.” Margaret Bourke-White is credited with immensely influencing the style of photojournalistic photography. She shot for Fortune Magazine (being their first female photographer), and a cover story LIFE magazine, and captured one of the most iconic images of Gandhi. In her retirement, she spent her later years of life at her home in Darien.
The first statewide aerial survey occurred in Connecticut. Do your vacation photos include pictures out of an airplane window? Sponsored by the government for surveillance, pilots and photographers flew over the entire state at exactly the same height and ultimately compiled over 10,000 images to create a mosaic map. Now that’s a lot of image stitching for one blueprint!
There are no photographs of the famous “Charter Oak” tree while it was still standing. The Charter Oak collapsed in a storm in 1856, ending the reign of the centuries old tree. While there are many paintings and depictions of the tree while it still survived, the only known photos were taken the day it fell, by a photographer named Nelson Augustus Moore. Do your family photos contain any significant landmarks of CT? Getting photos scanned can help you simply and share genealogy research on your family and hometown photos.
Charles Ives, the official composer of Connecticut, was one of the first American composers to gain international rapport. Recognized as a key figure of 20th century music this pioneer was born in Danbury, and studied music at Yale. Having worked in the 1930’s, his original orchestra recordings would be found on reel-to-reel sound tapes.
EverPresent brings your photographs “Back to the Future.” Did you know that Christopher Llyod, who plays Doc Brown in the Back to the Future series, was born in Stamford, and raised in Westport?
