With digital cameras so widely used, do you have many newer paper pics?  email this discussion to a friend?

I've thought about it and while we have a ton of pics we seem to have gotten away from actual paper pictures that we take. All of our pics are now on the computer or stored on websites with storage for pics, etc. It just seems to be the way of the world.

I will take one once in a while and get it developed at a local place or chain but more often then not I simply take the pics and place them on the computer or on a disc.

Makes one wonder how long before paper pictures are obsolete.

That is so true, but we buy photo paper at our house and print them out, just now we have the ability to change out the pictures more than we used to. I think the day of keeping the photos in boxes or albums will be gone and we will store them on the computer, which to me is the best thing, just a photo quality printer and you are set.

An indication that you may be on to something I do not know about that little country to the south eh!(picked that just for you ) but to show what I mean the Banks use to have pass books..papers to fill in for a deposit etc now they are going paperless ....My investment company sends letters asking if i really want all the mail they send...I hope the VCR doesnot go dodo like ..what about my 10,000 VHS tapes My point here is that things they are a changing and we can do little to stop technology and things moving forward..Its is expensive but with the right paper you can print from the pictures buried in hard drive folders..My most precious photos are from the 40's and 50's black and white photos and priceless today Good Luck I am smiling ,just combed my hair and am ready for you to snap an old looking Brad Pitt..Say Cheese

I think it's a matter of you still have the pics but they're not taking up physical space anymore plus you can get rid of the bad shots, etc. before you even begin to print out what you want. I've seen more video shows of pictures then albums anymore for sure.

I do a lot of storing, but I also still to do scrapbooking & putting photos on frames on the walls. So I'll print out as I want/need them. I print them myself, I never take them anywhere to print like film photos.

I think there will also be paper pictures...I don't see it going away at all.

I really don't think paper pictures will become obsolete. They may not have the popularity that they used to but there are still a lot of folks who don't have computers. Nothing beats a nice family portrait on a wall or a graduation photo of your child. I know there are camcorders that can capture the memorable moments but having a tangible photo to share is priceless.

I have both. I store them on my computer but I print them myself. I still like to carry some in my wallet and put others up around the house. I have really made some nice portraits. Friends have asked for copies so I get a kick out of printing them.

I understand completely. I haven't really made a paper copy of photos in awhile now. Except for family members that don't have internet I email them, etc. I have so many that are still on my digital as well as on computer. I do believe I'll have to eventually make copies for myself if nothing else, just in case my computer takes a you-know-what and I lose them all. I should have a large photo album to put them in.

Exactly, it's just so much simpler and less expensive now plus you can pick and choose what ones you actually print off to put in a frame or send in the mail to others while still emailing most of them to friends and family.

I often think I am giving away more paper pictures than when I was using film. We can print the photos and don't have to take them some where to have them develpoed. If you want one I cna print it for in in a couple of minutes.

I take pictures in digital and analog cams and if I consider the occasion important I still prefer to use the film camera. Digital pictures are great but there has been some concern on their storage. So if its for no particular occasion I take pics on the digicam and for the more important ones on film or on both.

I mostly store our pics online too and I have ordered a few now and then to send to my sons grandparents, since we live so far away. Might actually look into buying a photo printer and doing them myself.!
