Print Your Photos. It's a statement you'll hear from many of your photographer friends, and it is so important!

The first photo is a picture of my dad, who's no longer with us. Perhaps you can see from the post that it's stuck to my refrigerator with a magnate. Why you might ask? Because that is a place I visit multiple times each day, and I get a memory of him most every day.

Look I get it. We are lovers of digital photography, but one inherant problem is that you have to dig into those digital archives to revisit the photos! The photos you see posted, I get to see each time I pass by different areas of our home.

Print your photos. It doesn't have to be an expensive print (although where they are printed does affect how long those prints will look good over time). Put the ones you love on your walls. I promise you'll never be sorry.

This is apt. I know how much time it consumes sometimes going through archives to get a particular photo. And most times, you tend to miss the satisfactory memories the photo brings because “out of sight is out of mind” so yeah, print your photos and enjoy the memories it brings because that was the reason the photo was taken in the first place.

I think we have fallen prey to the convenience of digital which I'm certainly of a fan of, but the point of capturing the memory is to be able to easily revisit it and the quantity we've become accustomed to shooting hasn't necessarily led to good quality images.

Very true. But most folks would rather be prey or subscribe to the digital convenience because of its advantages and because the world is drifting towards that direction

Print photos? What’s that? Can I find it in tic toc?

Haha, I'm sure someone on tic toc would be happy to sell you a device/service to do so. Seems like I see more and more ads over there all the time.
