PERSONAL PIX

[Duchess]

Do you have a good, old fashioned photo album or do you keep your pix on a CD?

I have both, although my collection until recently was heavily skewed to pre-smartphone photos. Once internet took over everything shifted to digital, but when I created a memory album for my boy I got double prints of everything so I can make one of my own. I don't know if this is a problem for anybody else but the digital age has overwhelmed me in the sense of photos, I take way too many, never get around to deleting the shorty ones and as a result the entire collection loses any sentimental value and becomes clutter. Back in the days of actual film I might have a handful of pictures representing a memory or event, and one or two survived the years. With digital there are dozens of shots all amounting to the same basic premise and meaningless.

That seems to be a common theme among those who I've asked. There's something to be said for a photograph you can actually hold in your hands or turning the pages of an album. The last time I was with a couple of my brothers we looked through my mom's albums and laughed our asses off. It was fun and I smile when I think about it.

Photomyne is a new and nifty iPhone app that allows you to save old photos to your cloud/phone is a seamless and easy format. Looks promising.
