Why keep photos?

Published: 09.07.2021

A person's memory cannot contain all important moments. Over time, some events are forgotten, becoming less vivid. Already after a year, it is difficult for us to remember all the details and specifics of an interesting event.

Photographs allow us to preserve joyful and important events in life. It is important to keep photos so that, over time, we can remember past events and smile while looking back at old pictures.

We are much luckier than our grandmothers and grandfathers. In the past, creating and storing photographs was an expensive pleasure, but now a camera is available in every smartphone. There are many ways to save photos: cloud services, social networks, hard drive memory, flash drives, smartphones, etc.

Electronic storage of photos has its advantages: no need to spend money on printing, large memory capacity that can hold thousands of pictures, convenience of sharing photos through messengers and social networks. However, there are also disadvantages. Storing photos in digital format is not always reliable. Flash drives and phones can get lost, computers can break down, and social media accounts can be blocked.

It is very upsetting to lose the photos accumulated over the years due to equipment failure or theft. In printed form, such a problem will not arise, and photo albums on the bookshelf will continue to bring joy to you and your loved ones, carefully preserving memories.

Why is it worth keeping photos in printed form?

Although the internet and modern technologies have freed us from the need to spend money on printing photos, there are still many reasons why photo albums have not disappeared from our lives and are worth creating. Let's consider 7 reasons why printing photos is cool.

1. Holding an album in your hands and flipping through the pages is a pleasure. Viewing photos in paper form evokes pleasant tactile sensations, bringing back childhood memories of flipping through grandma's album.
2. High print quality. Modern photo books are a work of art. The cover, paper, and accuracy of color reproduction in printing will not leave anyone indifferent. The product looks solid and you will proudly show it to your loved ones.
