Web-Based Photo Company Puts a Positive Spin on the Internet and Child Safety
Atlanta, GA (ContentDesk) May 26, 2006 -- Atlanta-based SimplePhoto.com" has combined the efforts of school photographers with internet technology to produce the unique child safety program, Click-and-Safe". This web-based program provides parents and law enforcement officials with instant access to an online, password-protected school photo in the case of an abducted, lost, or runaway child. SimplePhoto.com, founded in 1999 by Atlanta photographer/web developer Eric J. Ellis, provides professional photographers with a forum for storing large quantities of images online. The online system allows customers to view, select, and purchase prints easily.
Ellis was inspired to create Click-and-Safe when he realized there was an opportunity to use his companys internet savvy in a new way. After seeing so many stories of child disappearances in the news, and knowing that SimplePhoto already stores thousands of current school photos online for purchasing, it made sense to make the photos readily available, free of charge, to parents in cases of child endangerment, said Ellis.In an emergency, when time is critical, Click-and-Safe allows parents to instantly access their childs photo with a complex, random password only the parent has been given. The low-resolution web image can then be quickly downloaded and widely broadcast to local and national media and law enforcement. No personal information about the child is available online, just the photo. Click-and-Safe is free to parents who choose to participate, and is a free option for photographers who use the SimplePhoto.com service.A recent example of a Click-and-Safe success story took place March 2006 outside of Phoenix Arizona.
A missing 13-year old girl was safely located within 48 hours by local police who recognized her after seeing the Click-and-Safe photo posted on the state Amber Alert System. When the unthinkable happens and a child is either missing or abducted, the first thing police departments need is a current photo to distribute to their officers and to the various media outlets to assist in finding the child, according to Officer Brandon Banks of the Tempe, Arizona Police Department. As a police officer with the City of Tempe Police Department for nearly six years, I would like to express how important it is for parents to have current pictures of each of their children.
It is also important for these pictures to be available to give to various law enforcement and media groups. Said CEO Ellis, We are elated to know our technology works to help parents and law enforcement assist in child safety efforts in this most unique manner. Click-and-Safe and SimplePhoto.com services are available to photographers and parents across the United States and Canada.

What Everybody Should Know about an Inkjet Printer: The One-Year Cost of Printing
You can purchase an inkjet printer for as little as $39. With a rebate, it may even be less. Not many people would argue about the good deal they got when they purchased their printer. However, the purchase price of an inkjet printer really doesn't tell you much about your cost of printing. After all, you do need paper and inkjet cartridges to keep your printer printing.
If you go to a local car lot and look at the sticker price of a car, you'd see some of the following items: the base price of the car, the cost for each additional feature or package, the number of miles per gallon for both city and road, and the cost of gasoline for one year under normal driving conditions.What if you got this same type of information for your printer? Would you still buy the same inkjet printer? How would you feel if you knew you would pay more for gas and oil, in the first year you owned your car, than you paid for the car?Well the fact is, unless you do very little printing, you will pay more...
