Preserving Memories. Part 2.

In this digital age of photography it is very easy to get wrapped up in seeing photographs only online or on a computer screen. Easy to think that just because it is digital, it will be there forever. Easy to forget about displaying that photograph in another form.

Easy to forget how important preserving our memories for future generations are.

You know, in the off chance Facebook doesn't last another 20 or so years ;)

As a photographer, it is also easy to get wrapped up in the actual taking of photo's instead of displaying and preserving our own. It may have taken me almost 7 months but I finally made the effort to make a physical copy of my favourite wedding images!

I started with some prints hung up in our apartment...

And then put together a wedding album. I love the way it tells the story of that wonderful day...

I print most of my photo's at Costco and used iphoto to make the album.

Are you printing your photo's? How else do you preserve your memories?
