Hear, hear!
I couldn't agree with you more! I have started to print of late and I love it. There is something about holding an actual printed photo instead of looking at it on a screen.
Thank you! Yes there is! Its totally different, nice to see that you are printing out too!
I recently set myself the task of printing nearly 3000 photos from my time in London and Europe. 9 photo albums were needed. I've still got lots of places to go but it feels great knowing I can pick up an album and go through those memories at any time
That's amazing! 9 albums?! That's a lot! But yeah the knowledge to know you can just pick one of those albums up and relive that holiday is so nice!
Its been at the back of my mind lately that I would really like to pick up a 4x5 or 8x10 medium format film camera. The reason being twofold (and in a way related to your post).
So that I take time to expose my shots when out in the field as opposed to taking dozens and maybe rushing things.
To force me to print stuff out. I used to do B+W darkroom work and I do wonder about going back to it. Maybe one day I will.
This is why I also take out my film camera with me so that I KNOW that I will have to print some out! Haha, its a really good way to make sure that you will have something printed from that trip! I hope you manage to get one soon :)
Really good post and totally agree :)
Thank you so much!
You second the advice I recently received from #soyrosa who suggested I print my photos too for a better overview of how I was progressing with my work. Makes so much sense to paper-addict me (I print all my - longer - mails and writing out to edit better), but it is encouraging to hear this from the pros. Before I only had my 75 year old mother as an example for this practice!
Let's not think about the trees, though ....hmmm every upside has it's down side I suppose.
Those albums are especially great with no chance of photos slipping out like the did of the traditional albums - and you will be bothered to write up exact details alongside them.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the post! That's a good idea about printing out mails etc! Sometimes having something physical is still the best way! This is true, its always good to think about the trees, you can re-recyclable paper to print on so that's an option :)
I love to look at my old photo albums.
Amazing! Me too, they have so much history within them!
