slo’s WEDNESDAY 4/9 poll - Photo Albums

[Lumpy1106]

I have used Shutterfly to put together a book of photos from trips and I do recommend that. Photo albums though - I will caution you;
I just got done helping DM clear out her house to put on the market. She had not only her photo albums, but also the photo albums she inherited from DGM. What a massive burden those things are! You don't want to throw any of them out but she now has dozens, maybe even > 100 of these albums and nowhere to put them. The most rational solution seems to be to digitize the pics and throw out the albums - but then what? Pay to keep them stored in the cloud forever? Who is ever going to look at them?

I have many photo albums from the past but I don't think I've had new photos in physical form since I got my first digital camera in 2006. I haven't really had the need to print any out. Sad, but true.

I love photo albums!! I used to be a big scrapbooker when DS was little, but I don't keep up very well now.

I have done a couple of pages this year, though, and I have some other photos ready to put in.

I really enjoy looking at the books I have.

I am terrible about this, but my wife has been making a conscious effort to get our photos printed and putting them in an album a lot for the last couple years. We went to WDW with our moms January 2024 and we have a lovely album of the whole thing, including my DMIL asleep on the bus back from MK.

So I have to thank my DW for our lovely albums.

I upload mine to Facebook. I do t even have my wedding album on display. The last photo album I had printed was before my 4th child was born.

Dad and I God willing next month when I'm back to normal health will add photos of happy memories together to our joint scrapbook. I also have some greeting cards on scrapbook pages. I prefer a physical photo to looking at one saved on a phone or computer. What matters is the blessing of the time the photo shows not its format

I miss my personal photo albums and they will hopefully be getting them by summer. I lost some of my digital photos due to various reasons.
