A: Yes. There are several options if you take pictures with a non-digital camera. You can scan your pictures onto the computer and upload them into the book. If you don't have a scanner, you can ask to get your pictures placed on a CD when you get your pictures developed, and then you can upload them onto the website. You can also have your pictures or negatives scanned and placed on a CD through most office supply stores, if your film is already developed. Another way to create a book is simply by using photos that have already been uploaded into the shared library by other members.
