Author oklahomadawn says: This question came up in a recent challenge as to whether an RAK photo is a personal photo or not. I thought about this and for my challenges, when I say personal photo only that excludes RAK photos. The reason most of my challenges require personal photos only is because scrapbooking originated for people to scrap their photos…I know, I know that may be an "old-fashioned" notion, but I am trying to get everyone taking photos. Digital cameras are fairly inexpensive and all come with cables to download directly to our computers, so the cost of film, photo developing and scanners is no longer necessary. So, from this point forward if I state personal photos only, it needs to be personal photos only, which means no photos from friends or family either. I certainly hope this doesn't upset anyone and I equally hope this doesn't exclude anyone. If it starts to exclude SBF members, please let me know and I may reconsider. Dawn May 11, 2014
