myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097) 2 years ago

In digital era, I observed people mostly share their photos in digital format,People can easily upload to facebook photo album or other internet sites,burn in CD or DVD or store to Hardisk or thumbdrives.However I still like to print-out digital photos and store in photo album booklet, since easier send to our grand parents.How about you? Do you still need to print-out digital photo and store to album?

i guess its still important to have printed picture at home so that if theres family visitors they can see those pictures while waiting coz sometimes our picture just stored in our computer and sometimes the computer is inside the room. and use digital photo frame is advisable but to be displayed in the living room but if theres no electricity it will not work.

Hi homshoppers, appreciate for your quick response. I agree with you, it will be easier when visitor want to see our photo album especially wedding ceremony photos, birthday party or other memorable photos.. It also easier for the elderly since they are more comfort received printed photos than digital photos, However I am trying to teach my mom how to use facebook on her mobile phone so that we can easily share any precious moment even long distance.. happy mylotting..

hello dwight,

sometimes i still feel the need of printing out the photos, coz i think if its nicely organized in an album, its easier when you want to show them to some people, example when they are visiting your place. hehe you know i have some friends that whenever they are here in my house they are asking for some photo albums and i think printed photographs is still different from those that are just uploaded on line. as time pass by the photographs brings back the memories and on its paper, the years that pass will show...
and i really think that having a hard copy is better way of keeping these things and like what you have said you can send it to your loved ones who are far from you and we can still write some message on its back...its more personalized! happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi ckyera, I am glad to hear from you again. You are absolutely right, hard copy photo album is useful when there's guess visit our place. I still remember my parents and grandma photo album collection,even in black and white color but still get organized very well and we can laugh and share sweet memory in family. Have you seen B and W printed photo album?thanks for responding and happy mylotting as always.

hello dwight,

yeah i have seen some. whenever i am going back home & visit my grandma's house, i always love it to look on her photo album. she keeps there the pictures of her children and her friends and us, her grandchildren. know what? i am even surprise to see that she have a baby picture of me...haha like i am just month old.
she also have her wedding picture & that's in black & white. its also fun seeing my parents on their young age, like when they are still on their elementary years! haha
well, pictures do really bring many memories of the past and its good to keep them for the next generation to see...


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hello ckyera, yeah I remember my grandma also still keep my baby photos in her photo album. It still nicely organized in old big album, even she has my mother's baby photo and when she's still in high school.. you are right, pictures bring our memory back and will keep them from next generation.. You remind me to scan my old photos , transfer to digital format in CD..

I think photo albums are still needed today even though you can just save your photos in the internet through your homepage or save it in a disc or something but for me it is always nice to look at the photos especially photos taken during special days like weddings, birthdays and etc. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi P3ks626, appreciate your response. I agree with you, we still need to store on photo album for our collection to get more organized as well. However we still need back up on digital format since its handy and also can be accessed for everywhere.. happy mylotting

Like you, I too like the printed format. For one, its easily accessible i.e. we don’t need to depend on the computer whenever we wish to see the photos. Secondly the album can be carried everywhere and showed to those who don’t have access to computers (yes, there are many who cant afford a computer, leave alone net connection)….thirdly, no risk of hard disk crash and loss of all photos. All in all, I am yet to enter the digital world…quite happy with the old photo albums…AND it FEELS so nice just to relax and go over the photos and to touch them…you know…its not the same just seeing them on screen.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi Sudiptacallingu, appreciate your response..I agree with you, we still need hard copy format for easy accessible purpose. I also having experience when I lost my photos collection due to my hard disk crashed, lucky I still keep half of them in my thumbdrive otherwise old memory will be gone forever...happy mylotting

I have yet to do that as I thought of it myself on doing the same thing to print out my digital prints and store them in albums however I have not had time. I find that digital sharing allows more ease and is easier to use that printing and sending which takes longer. However, I will not completely get rid of print-outs as they will always be needed for hanging and sharing to our elders.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi thuhuong, Appreciate your response. I got your point, sometimes I also lazy to print out to hard copy since I feel easier to sending by email. I just sent one photo album of my kid to my Mom last week, it takes me 3 weeks after she requested. The best thing, now we can modified and put it on calendar format before printed out..it looks cool.. happy mylotting

We rarely print out our digital photos. I keep them all in my computer or burn them onto a CD. Actually I am glad I read your discussion as I am reminded to back them up in case my computer crashes! I can't even remember the last time we bought a photo album. It was so long ago! The only downside is we can no longer enjoy pictures together with our parents, because my mom can't look at the screen for long periods because it hurts her eyes.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi mymelodake, appreciate your response.. I am glad you got something precious from my discussion, you are right, that's also my reason to still printed out and send to my mother since she's not able to stare at computer screen too long..Sometimes I keep in the CD with jpeg format so that still able to play in some of DVD player or display using TV-out from our digital camera.. It's good idea but also takes time rather than open the photo album only.. happy mylotting
