Do you still maintain Old fashioned Photo Album..?..?  

in a simple answer yes I do,

I usually use my mobile take pics especially of my 3 kids and their milestones really as a sort of picture timeline of their lives.

I even have photo's of when my little one was ill in hospital and he always says thats when I was poorly.

So in answer to your question yes I do I also have a seperate hard drive with all the photos on and have them on dvd incase my pc dies on me just to be safe.

I haven't got a digital camera and my cell does not take pics so yes I still use an old-fashioned album (old fashioned? . Maybe this year Santa will bring me a digital camaera but I shall not dispose of my albums - my whole life is there and I'm not throwing that away!

yes I do. I love taking pictures especially of my son and I've been updating his album every since he was a baby. Having an online photo album is nice as it keeps your photos stored well but whenever I have visitors that wanna view pictures I like it better when I show them real albums.

yeaaaaaaaaaah we do...
for some special moments...
we just cant switch on pc evertime to see those pics clicked by digital camera
they need to get printed for a comfort watch
because images are not always about level of zoom and unzoom
but the memories we keep near us

G'Day cool, I think that is great. Photo albums were a great part of our lives for decades, before the digital era. and you will appreciate having them to look at in future years. Also we're not really sure how long the digital images will remain in mint condition, so it's like having a printed back up.

I still print all my photos. I put them all in fancy album. I still store them digitally but I just don't trust all this savvy tech because they can get infected by virus and so on.

Hi cool_bollywood and everyone else on myLot - I am a new user and this is my first response to a discussion so I hope I'm doing this properly!

I think it's a very good idea to keep an actual photo album as well as keeping photos on your PC. I have loads of photos in albums from when I didn't have a digital camera, but since I got a digital, I tend to just store them on the PC - partly because of the cost of printing ink, and party because I haven't the time or am lazy!

It's easier to look at photos in an album than on the PC too...Digital photoframes are a good idea though. I like to riffle through a heap of photos, and old photos from pre-PC days seem to look better in an album than onscreen.

Also, you have to rely on your electronics - if your hard-drive packs up and you have no back-up, you've lost your photos - this happened to my son who lost 3 years' worth of photos... On the other hand, your printed photos could get damaged by fire or water, or get chewed by mice! Best to have both...

i try to have the usual photos in an album since i found out, when we didn't have an internet connection then, that they get lost in the hard drive once reformatted. besides my husband isn't that good in keeping that thing of the computer that stores everything and you can replace.

anyway, no offense to anybody but uploading pictures on the net like facebook, for me is quite showy in a way. it's like a publicized journal.

I have five old fashion photo albums with photos from the time I was a high school student. I very much value the memories, the happy times I had with my classmates. I would not go on to digitals with those pictures. The originality is the true value of the pictures.

Yes, while digital cameras make keeping pictures easier and more high tech, I still prefer the old-fashioned way which having real photo albums with printed pictures. I have separate photo album for each member of my family, and also a family photo album where I put all family pics. But I also keep in a USB flash drive all the pics taken from a digital camera which I download to a computer when I need to view or print or share.
