What is the first thing you want to do when you hear great news, when you get engaged, when your child does something amazing, or you just won the lottery?
You share the news with the people that are important to you.
Life’s experiences means so much more when you get to relive them by telling your family and friends.
Sharing photographs are the same way. Whether they are your vacation photographs or wedding photographs. Whether they are of your children or your dog. Being able to let other people into our lives by showing them our photographs has been a way to communicate for over 100 years.
Recently, however, photographs have been stuck on computers, left and forgotten. Digital cameras are a wonderful way to get instant gratification with seeing your images. And the computer is great at keeping them all organized. Facebook is even nice to let others see what you are doing. But, computers crash, facebook shrinks your images and technology changes.
If you are not getting your photographs off your computer, you are missing the chance to enjoy them again as you share them with others. You are missing the chance to pass them down to future generations and preserve a bit of history.
Make a scrapbook of your vacation, a photo baby book or create a family album. Put your photographs in a digital frame, group some small photographs together in frames to put on a shelf or enlarge them and hang them on the wall.
And make sure to preserve them for your children to enjoy years from now.
