How many photos do you have?

Gosh, I am so impressed with you all.
I wouldn’t know where to begin, you are all so super organised.

I store digitally and also use albums. I love printed photos, each is stored in an album and labelled. They often come out for a memory lane trip, for questions of the ‘Mum when did I....?’ variety and so the grandchildren can laugh at their parents younger selves. This might sound odd but I also think how useful they will be if either of us get dementia,

They are in two underbed boxes, along with some empty new albums - a 'one day' (never) project for editing/organising. Then a lot on my laptop and phone too!

Personally I think they are more likely to last and be passed on if printed & in labelled albums. I can’t bear boxes of loose photos with no date and no idea who the people are. And if on computers or cds they will surely be lost in years to Come when technology moves on. I go through all the pics on my computers each year and print the best to put in albums (digitally printed books these days) then delete the rest. There are far too many which I never look at on the computer but the albums do come out and get looked at from time to time.

My DD made calendars with the photos I took on vacation and with pictures of my family, she used a special calendar maker photo-calendar-software.com to do that. It is a nice way to store your photos because you will be sure that every picture will be looked at. The only thing is that thre are not so many photos you can place in one calendar, haha
