I cannot believe you people think taking photos of paper is any sort of replacement for scanning.  I smack my head every time I read about having to "take a photo" of paperwork to attach to files.  I enter hundreds of invoices a day and some of these invoices include upwards of 60 pages of back up paperwork that are potentially helpful when looking up information.  There is NO TIME to line these pages up and snap picture of them..."best alternative" my rear end!
