Month-Long Campaign Encourages Families to Preserve the Photos and Stories Behind Their Most Meaningful Memories

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From childhood birthdays and family vacations to snapshots of loved ones and everyday life, photos hold pieces of our histories that can’t be replaced. Yet, many of these memories remain tucked away in boxes, vulnerable to damage, time and unexpected disasters like floods and fires. This September, Epson is teaming up again with The Photo Managers to support Save Your Photos Month, a global awareness campaign dedicated to helping individuals and families protect treasured photo and video memories and the stories behind them. Now in its 12th year, this year’s “One Photo, One Story” campaign invites people everywhere to choose one meaningful photo and share the story behind it on social media using #OnePhotoOneStory, underscoring the importance of preserving both photos and the stories that give them meaning.

Epson is teaming up with The Photo Managers to support Save Your Photos Month with “One Photo, One Story” campaign.

“Photos hold our family stories, milestones and the voices of the people we love, but too often, the story behind a photo is lost long before the photo itself,” said Cathi Nelson, founder of The Photo Managers. “This year’s ‘One Photo, One Story’ campaign is about encouraging families to preserve both. With free educational resources and easy-to-use technology like the FastFoto®, protecting and sharing these meaningful memories and the stories behind them is more accessible than ever.”

Save Your Photos Month began as a grassroots response to catastrophic disasters including the Joplin tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy and the Calgary floods, which destroyed countless irreplaceable family photo collections. It has since grown into a global movement offering free education, expert advice and events every September to teach people how to digitize, organize and preserve their photo and video collections.

New for 2026, The Photo Managers is inviting everyone to participate in the “One Photo, One Story” campaign. Participants will choose one meaningful photo, share the story behind it in writing or through a short video or voice recording, and post it on social media using #OnePhotoOneStory. Every share helps raise awareness that photos and their stories are worth protecting and that resources and professional help are available.

As families look to protect their printed photo collections, today’s at-home scanning technology can help make digitization easier. FastFoto FF-680W, the world’s fastest personal photo scanner,1 helps simplify the process of turning printed photos into digital files that can be organized, preserved and shared. FastFoto can scan up to 36 photos per batch at speeds as fast as one photo per second.2 It can also capture both the front and back of photos, helping preserve handwritten notes, dates and other details along with the image, and with intelligent file organization tools and Easy Auto-Upload, it allows users to upload images to cloud services such as Dropbox® and Google Drive.TM3

“Save Your Photos Month brings awareness to the need to protect the photos and stories that connect us to our families and our past,” said Stacey Tieu, senior product manager, retail scanners, Epson America, Inc. “As someone who lives in southern California, I’ve seen firsthand accounts of people who have lost their homes, photos and precious memories. The campaign shows how important it is to encourage families to digitize their photos so memories can be preserved.”

Throughout September, The Photo Managers will provide free education, expert advice and resources designed to help families protect their photos, take control of their collections and preserve their family stories. Highlights include:

YouTube Live Sessions: Held every Tuesday and Friday throughout September, sessions will cover protecting printed photos, digital backup strategies, organizing large photo collections, using AI to restore old photos, and preserving family stories.Memory Keepers Live Summit: A one-day virtual training event featuring expert-led sessions for people who want to go deeper on organizing, preserving and sharing their family memories.Free “One Photo, One Story” Starter Kit: Available at The Photo Managers’ Save Your Photos Month website, the kit includes story prompts, sample stories and a simple worksheet to help anyone get started documenting the stories behind their photos.

The educational programming will focus on four key areas throughout the month, including Week One – Protecting Your Printed Photos, Week Two – Protecting Your Digital Photos, Week Three – Taking Control of Your Collection and Week Four – Preserving Your Family Story.

ENROAD Aims to Redefine the Roof Box with Smart Technology and Automotive-Inspired Design at SEMA 2026

Published

on

By

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ENROAD, a premium automotive travel lifestyle brand, will showcase its award-winning Nomadix Pro Smart Roof Box at SEMA Show 2026, at Booth 59033 in the West Hall with Diamond Lot, from November 3rd to 6th.

Recognized with the German Red Dot Design Award, Nomadix Pro reimagines the traditional roof box with fingerprint unlocking, solar-powered operation, and ENROAD’s Trispark energy system. Combining intelligent convenience with sleek, automotive-inspired design, it transforms roof storage from a simple cargo solution into a smarter companion for every journey.

ENROAD’s debut at SEMA Show marks an important step in bringing its vision of Smart Automotive Travel to the global automotive aftermarket and outdoor recreation communities, where innovation, personalization, and adventure meet.

Automotive-Inspired Design, Refined for Every Journey

A roof box should do more than add cargo space—it should complement the vehicle it sits on. The Nomadix Pro combines a streamlined silhouette and a clean, contemporary profile with distinctive integrated rear lighting, creating a more recognizable look that brings automotive-inspired design to a traditionally utilitarian accessory.

The Nomadix Pro received the 2025 Red Dot Design Award, recognizing its design, and represents three years of product development supported by more than 10 proprietary patents.

Smart Access, Without the Extra Steps

One of the Nomadix Pro’s standout features is its fingerprint-based unlocking system, offering an alternative to carrying and using a traditional key. A mechanical backup key provides another access option when needed.

ENROAD has also rethought the details that affect everyday use. Its ClickHold™ mounting system replaces conventional bulky knobs with a rack-and-cam lever mechanism, designed to simplify installation while preserving usable interior space.

The RailTie™ fastening system, featuring adjustable aluminum rails and zinc-alloy buckles, helps secure belongings during travel. A front-mounted secondary lock provides an additional measure to help keep the lid closed at speed, while four-bar hinges allow the box to open from either side of the vehicle.

Together, these features are designed to make installation, loading and accessing gear more straightforward.

Lighting That Works Beyond the Drive

Inside the Nomadix Pro, motion-sensing is equipped, with dual sensing for light and human body, that means less fumbling around when looking for a bag, jacket or piece of camping equipment after dark. The exterior rear lighting adds a distinctive visual details and safety while driving.

Nomadix Pro also incorporates ENROAD’s Trispark solar-powered energy system, which combines solar charging, portable power and campsite illumination in one integrated solution.

Trispark features a 24,000mAh battery, fast-charging capability and adjustable lighting modes, bringing additional utility to time spent outdoors.

From its exterior lighting to its interior illumination and portable power options, ENROAD is exploring ways to make the roof box a more considered part of the automotive travel.

Built Around Real-World Use

The Nomadix Pro has undergone 24 reliability tests covering scenarios including emergency maneuvers, lane changes, rough roads, prolonged vibration, extreme cold and repeated opening and closing cycles.

Its interior features molded felt lining to help protect stored equipment, while its mounting, fastening and locking systems address the practical demands of carrying gear on the road.

These details reflect ENROAD’s focus on combining a modern look with features that serve a clear purpose.

A First Look at What’s Next

SEMA 2026 will also offer an early look at ENROAD’s upcoming smart roof box. The new version will expand the ENROAD lineup, bringing its focus on contemporary design, practical storage and user-friendly features to a broader range of customers.

Hisense Celebrates 100 Years of Television and Marks the Origin of RGB MiniLED

Published

By

LONDON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In 1926, John Logie Baird first demonstrated his pioneering television system at 22 Frith Street, London. A century later, Hisense, a leading global brand in consumer electronics and home appliances, returned to this historic site on 24–25 October to celebrate the centenary of television under the theme “Celebrating 100 Years of Television. Hisense, the Origin of RGB MiniLED.” At Outernet London’s The Now Building, near 22 Frith Street, an immersive big-screen experience brought a century of television history to life and showcased Hisense’s latest RGB technology.

A century of television innovation has transformed how people experience entertainment. Now, with RGB MiniLED, which represents the new origin of display innovation, Hisense aims to mark the next milestone in this ongoing journey. By connecting the origin of television with RGB MiniLED, Hisense launched a campaign at 22 Frith Street and Outernet London’s The Now Building. This celebration was not only a tribute to the past, but also a statement about the future of home entertainment, highlighting Hisense RGB MiniLED’s role in the next chapter of television. Martin Wilkie, Director at World Origin Sites, also praised what Hisense has contributed, ‘What Hisense has done is take television to the next stage — and the quality shows.’

Taking place on 24-25 October, Hisense’s “London Walk through TV History” connected five stops, inviting the public to follow the campaign map, enjoy a coffee, discover London’s rich television heritage and experience the latest in display technology along the way.

Here, visitors could enjoy a complimentary coffee while soaking up London’s television history and collecting limited-edition souvenirs and vouchers by participating in any one activity including a photo check-in, a Q&A quiz, or social media sharing.

Notably, on the afternoon of 25 October, Iain Logie Baird, grandson of television pioneer John Logie Baird, joined the celebrations at Bar Italia to mark this special milestone and honour the legacy of television. His presence lent historical weight to the event, which is a symbolic recognition of the continuity from his grandfather’s pioneering work to Hisense’s RGB MiniLED, the next step in television evolution. Hisense is doing something similar to my grandfather: taking something that had been exclusively in the laboratory and putting it into a product the public can buy and enjoy, said Iain Logie Baird.

As part of the trail, visitors were guided to The Now Building at Outernet London, Europe’s largest immersive digital experience space, featuring a 360-degree environment with ultra-high-definition LED screens. They could explore a museum-style exhibition celebrating 100 years of television history and experience Hisense’s latest RGB technology up close.

Visitors could also continue along the trail to the participating retail stores. These stores offer opportunities to explore Hisense RGB MiniLED products or enjoy exclusive vouchers, as detailed below:

ELEMENTL POWER, DS INVESTMENT PARTNERS AND SAMSUNG C&T TO ADVANCE NEW U.S. NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT

Published

on

By

Proposed partnership of up to $750 million would help fund development of multiple Elementl nuclear projects

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elementl Power, a nuclear project delivery and capital management platform, has signed a preliminary agreement to form and fund a development partnership of up to $750 million with a consortium led by South Korean investment firm DS Investment Partners (DSIP). Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group, which has delivered energy projects including nuclear worldwide, is participating in the consortium as a potential strategic investor. 

The consortium would fund a portion of the proposed partnership’s projected capital and hold a significant minority interest in the partnership. The agreement consists of a letter of intent and term sheet setting out the proposed terms of the partnership and allows for participation from additional strategic and financial investors.

The proposed nuclear development partnership is intended to provide a portion of the capital necessary for up to three of Elementl’s advanced nuclear projects to achieve final investment decision (FID), supporting pre-construction activities, including permitting, interconnection and long-lead item procurement. One of the three projects is Elementl’s 1.5 gigawatt project under development in Ohio, which will use GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 small modular reactors.  

The planned partnership would advance Elementl’s full-lifecycle development strategy and demonstrate the company’s model of matching top-tier development capital with high-quality, pre-FID advanced nuclear projects. Elementl has engaged Macquarie Capital as financial advisor to evaluate bringing additional strategic and financial investors into the partnership.

“Elementl’s partnership with DS Investment Partners and its consortium would advance our full-lifecycle development strategy and represents a first-of-its-kind capital formation model for U.S. nuclear focused purely on developing multiple utility-scale projects,” said Elementl Chairman and CEO Chris Colbert. “Once finalized, this partnership would expand our early-stage project capital, increase our access to South Korea’s nuclear supply chain and engineering expertise and enhance our position as the financial and development partner best equipped to deliver new nuclear.”

“This proposed partnership would bring together financial and industrial expertise with proven experience in the nuclear sector to support the next generation of American nuclear projects,” said DS Investment Partners CEO Seung Soo Kang. “We believe new nuclear is essential to meeting rising energy demand, and we are proud to partner with Elementl and Samsung C&T in building a strong foundation to advance these power projects.”

“This collaboration represents a unique opportunity to establish a private capital model that accelerates the path to delivery for commercial U.S. nuclear projects, and we are pleased to bring our nuclear construction experience and support to this effort with Elementl and DS Investment Partners,” said Samsung C&T Senior Vice President Jung Kim.

The proposed partnership does not constitute a final investment decision on any project. The agreement remains subject to definitive documentation, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Elementl is backed by leading energy and infrastructure investors, including Energy Impact Partners, accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., Prelude Ventures, Breakwater North and Alumni Ventures.
