With almost everything turning digital, photos too have become digital. They are a collection of alphabets and numbers which when put together form a picture on the screen. Gone are the days when seeing old photographs meant taking the album out of the cupboard, cleaning off the dust and then noticing that some of the photographs have got faded and some are stuck to the sheet due t moisture. No fading, no deforming no tearing. Now it is all digital. With most cameras digital, we have ease of taking and viewing out pictures instantly instead of waiting till they are developed and printed by the photographer.

Do you store yor photographs on your computer and CDs/DVDs or still rely on the good old album?

For some older people,they may like to keep photos on the traditional album.But I like taking photos in digital and keep them on my computer or CDs/DVDs because it seems so convenient,isn't it?Digital things make the world more and more colourful.I believe it will be better and better in the future.

You are right that most of the thing are become digital now a days, but stlll there some thing for me.. like these photogrphs are not digital, i Stores all my photos in my album, I just love to see these photographs in the album only, in my home except me no body know hoe to start a computer so for its always better to store in the old fashined album so that everycan see anytime. You will enjoy more in ssing in the album comare to seeing in the computer.

I do a bit of both these days. So pictures i print off and put into a photo album but some i don't. I also get print photos when I get a disposable camera for the times I forget my digital.

A bit of both. I have so many old albums, but they are cumbersome and take up a lot of closet space. I've taken to storing them on thumb drives or on digital storage sites like snapfish. It does clear out a lot of extra space in the house, but I do miss pulling out old albums and looking at old pics.

I keep some in albums and some just on discs. Most of the older pictures are in albums, and a lot of the newer ones are just kept on disc, or in my photo storage program. I still make up new albums for some things though. Like the wedding albums for my daughters, 'my first year' for the grandkids, and 'family adventures' (which is stuff like our trips to the zoo and other outings that the kids found a lot of fun.) Sometimes I think it's nice to look at pictures in an album rather than on a disc. The albums that I make up now are more in scrapbooking type form so that they can be passed along over the years.

Hello mercuryman3a...lucky I could see to read your post. I am getting so tired, my eyeballs are sitting on the keyboard here!..
I have a digital camera and I store pictures on both CDs and photo albums. I always have a few pictures that fit into themes of different albums and I will develop them as actual pictures in an album. I find lots of people still like to look at pics. Its quick and easy and makes good coffee table reading.
I also keep duplicates of everything on CDs...Hope that made sense and I am off to bed!!. yawn

i keep my photos on an album, i think because its easy to carry and it inexpinsive to put your photos in it. unlike digital album they cost a lot of money but they are cool as you can do sliding and has controller in it but still it cost a lot of money i cant afford it for now maybe in the future i can.
happy mylotting!!!

I do a combination of both. Generally now days all of my pictures are stored on my pc, discs and some in picasa and shutterfly. I have my old pictures in albums and have recently been scanning them and keeping on my computer. The old pictures were losing color and not looking so good. I need to get all of my digital organized, in online albums and then saved to cd's. Just not enough time in the day, especially since I discovered Mylot!

Nowaday, most of us take photo by digital cameras, and just keep them in computer, as you say, no fading, no deforming, no tearing. album is only for some special photo, maybe.
and as we all use the digital camera, many people have throw the traditional camera, or just keep it in cupboard. it is a waste!
