- Google Photos lets you order physical copies of your pictures as prints or bound books.

Last month, Los Angelenos found themselves confronting tragedy, as uncontrolled wildfires wreaked havoc upon people and property alike. Good Samairtans everywhere quickly offered their support, and that included lots of help from the tech industry, whether in the form of fire-tracking apps or carriers working to keep people connected in this time of need. While those blazes have since been extinguished, the damage they imparted isn’t going away easily, and recovery is going to be a long and expensive process for everyone affected. Today, we’re learning about one small way Google wants to help.
