Photo albums have become a tradition since the dawn of the camera. People would keep souvenirs from their travels, their milestones, and their friends. They would document the early lives of their children and the progress of their personal projects. They would make albums for their groups and communities. This tradition can be slipping away because of digital photography wherein pictures are digital instead of physical. However, some are realizing the advantages of the old tradition and keeping it alive. Here’s why you should do the same:
Physical Copies Never Get Deleted
Digital photos are easy to store and reproduce. You can make hundreds of copies without paying anything. You can send these out to all the people that you want to see them. You can post them online on your social media accounts. You can store some copies on your laptop as well. However, digital files can be accidentally deleted, and then your treasured image could be gone forever. The card that contains the file could get corrupted making it impossible for you to recover the contents. The camera or phone itself may get lost or stolen. Having a physical copy just adds a bit more security since this can never be deleted by mistake.
Organize Photo Collections per Album
Sometimes it’s just fun to organize your photos into collections within different albums. Select your favorite pictures of the past years and have these printed out. Then group them logically based on various themes and put them in an album that celebrates that theme. You can have one for your childhood, your teenage years, your college years, and so on. You can also have special albums for your overseas travels, your favorite hobbies, your children, and other things which are important to you. There is something nice about having these in your hand and placing them side by side with your choice of décor on each page. You can even add titles and commentary.
Enjoy Reminiscing on Lazy Mornings
These Photo albums can be a great antidote for loneliness if you ever feel down and out. Check out photos that remind you of how amazing you are and inspire you to do more. You can also reminisce about shared memories with your partner and the rest of the family. It could be a nice spontaneous activity during lazy mornings. Sip your coffee as you turn the pages. You will be filled with emotions as you remember the pivotal moments of your life.
