I have the habit of developing photos in studio still, especially for my son's photo. I kept hundreds of photos, I like to watch them every now and then, and when there is friend comes, we would enjoy the photos took years ago, recalling the happiness and funny thing in the past. The oldest photo I kept is my family photo which is taken when I was 3. Do you keep the old photos? Which photo you like the most? Do you still develop your photos, or you just keep it in your computer/DVD?

I don't like taking photos until I get my own digicam. But still I don't use it often. I have a friend doing like you and she always buy photo albums because she always get picture printed.

Once we were abroad and we went out I had my digicam battery die if not for her old regular camera, I wouldn't have any souvenirs.

It's great to have pics, it reminds me of past you can't bring back.

I have photos of my dog who had died, our old house, and a later pic of my late father on this digicam.

Hi,JDy116! Thanks for your response. It's true that the photos refresh our memories. It's like a vivid diary which keeps our happiness, our youth. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I've recently realised that pictures saved in your PC or DVD don't posses the same thoughts and feelings as the ones that we preserve in albums.
Few days ago I wanted to gift something special for my girl friend for our anniversary. I thought of a lot of things but all of them were materialistic and i wanted to give her something special which she can remember.
I was shopping in a gift shop and that is when I cam across this book "Our Love Story" in which you can post pictures of you and your partner taken at every occassion and can jolt down your thoughts and experiences.
The very idea of doing it gave me a vibe. Imagine reading the book years after, something which you will always look into.

That is how much photographs can speak.

And i store all my old pictures. The picture I like the most is my own picture taken when I was 6 months old:D


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hi Ravitejag, it's so romantic. I believe your girl friend would like it. And it's really a good memento that would bring us great joy and sweetness. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

hi karenkarenkk,
not so often as what we did before. we just select some for developing the rest??? they're all stored in the cd and in the web.
the photos that i like the most are those photos of me and my family...those candid moments of family bonding and special events.
1..2..3...say cheezzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeee!wink


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hello Msfrancisco, thanks for your response. I also select some for developing only, it's too many of them, and it's not necessary and possible to develop all. Or my room must be fill up with Albums. LoL. Have a nice day.

Hi friend,

I dont have the habbit of developing all photos. first of all we dont go to studio to take photo. We have a digital camera and we used to take my little and cute daughter more. I like all my daughter which we took.

Happy lotting


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hello, Satyabs, I have digital camera also, and I took all photos using our own camera, except the formal photos for documents. Still I like to develop some and keep them in my album. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.


satyabs15 (84)  3 months ago

Its still good if your photo are develop from studio, but with the advent of the cheap digicam and photo printer, its common things to see now a days a "printed photo" at first they doesn't have any differences, but time will come you'll notice that the printed photo are fading. I usually print photo taken by me, but if I really like I have it laminated so it will last long. The best thing about digital copy it never loss its quality even for a long time. But you have to save it in a realiable media or create more copy.


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hi Dhugoi, Thanks for your response. I guess developping photos is still the way I like, I would choose the photos I like the most and take the CD to studio for developping, I would also laminate them to have them last longer. We enjoy the photos in Album better than on computer, though it do cost more. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.


myLot reputation of 77/100. dhugoi (211)  3 months ago

I have the same thoughts as you, I still love photo develop in studio. I have a direct photo printer for digital camera, which cover the photo with thin plastic and make it water proof but I rarely use it.

hi karen,
With the advancement of the technology espicially in the computers and digital world, taking pictures have become so easy and so cheap too. Apart from the hardware costs of camera and computer there is no cost but in the older film type, it costs to buy a camera and film but also we have to pay for the development and priniting. Also if you dont like any shot you can delete it but in film type that shot is gone and money wasted. So i use digital camera and then get the pics in pendrive, choose which pic i would want to keep in computer and which pics i would want in my photo album too.. so i definitely get prints much less than before but the pics i want to keep with me i do get them printed.


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hi Asweetie, I am not sure if I do not make myself clear, sorry for the confusion if so. I use the ditital cameral as well, and pick up the photos that I like the best for printing(I shoudn't say developing here, right) I do not like to keep all photos in computer only, as there are really too many photos, I would like to keep some best in album for easy checking later. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I developed my photos before, but since I have my digit camera,I usually keep them in my computer because there are so many photos that it cost a lot to develop them.But I think it is really a happpy time when enjoying the photos with family,or friends.

My family are the ones "in charge" of keeping the old family photos, we got tons from vacation and just goofing off around the house, several albums that my mom keeps in stacks. From that batch my favorite is when I was with me and my older brother together... we both played a joke at mom and we ended up taking a picture of her (she showed smiling and pretending to hit us while we were pretending to wrong from her, she said thats her favorite picture because its a reflection of how our childhood was for her).

Now a days, to be honest I dont have the old camera type and develop photos. What I do is we have our digital cameras and our cellphones were we connect our computers and keep a copy of the pictures in it. When we want to have the album created we actually print out the pictures and develop it ourselves.
We only went once in like... 2 years to develop pictures and even at the shop it isnt the same. We went in and there was this guy eating his lunch and we wanted to have our pictures developed (it was digital photos and our computers were not available back then) and the guy just showed us this machine that has a USB connection to it or if you wanted to transfer via Bluetooth you could if it was a cellphone or a cd if it was in files and so forth and so forth and we ended up printing our stuff. All the guy did was just collect the money from the amount of copies we took out and that was it.

I have to say we actually have come along way from developing photos the old fashion way. We may need again sometime if there was a computer crash or something, but so far, I like the way photos are digitalized for now!

Happy Mylotting

I used to develop photos in studios about 3-4 years back but since advanced digital cameras and computers have come out. After taking pictures I just upload them on my laptop. However I still have kept my old pictures the oldest being ones of me when I just came home from the hospital as a baby. That's like over 20 years old!


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 34 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hello Sybraton!

Glad to hear that you still have a photo of yourself where you were just born. I don't have any new born photo of myself, sad! My mom told me back to 20 30 years ago camera was very expensive and we came from a middle class family so we did not own a camera.

I only have a few of kids photo of my own. So I would suggest parents develope photo and keep nicely in the album so everyone can share the album and get the sweet memory!


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

I do not have newly born photo of myself either. At that days, we did not have our own camera, we went to studio to take it, and usually in the new year or other big event, our family often went together for some family photos. After having our own camera, we took it casually, now I still feel the old photos keeps more of my memory.

Hi Karen,:) My mom gave me a digicam as a gift as a birthday gift. But even before that, my love on taking pictures and being on the picture is already there. I love taking pictures on all of the events of my life. I keep old pictures of course because it makes you reminisce on memories. My favorite photo is our family picture. I was a kiddo back then and not able to remeber the exact moments, but the picture shows that we are still "family", if you know what i mean. As of now, my pictures are saved in my computer but i have plans of developing them someday when i got resources:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. karenkarenkk (396)   ranked 1,128 out of 6,554 in enjoy life  3 months ago

Hello, Angguloy, I think I can understand you and I have the same feeling as you. I have one sister and one brother and now we all have our own families. Thanks for your response and happy mylotting to you.
