Create
A Photo Album
With the prevalence of digital cameras and the fast pace of life, few
people really take the time to create a photo album anymore. This is
really a shame. When you create a photo album, you make something that
not only showcases your photos, but arranges them in the personal style
that shows you really care about what you are doing. If you make your
own photo album, you can not only select what photos to include, but
what kind of book to use, how many per page, and where in your home to
display it.
I first decided to create a photo album about a year ago. Ironically, I
didn't even think to create a photo album until I had been using my
digital camera for a good while. Back when I used to use my normal,
analog camera, I would keep all of my pictures in boxes, and I could go
into them and look at them whenever I wanted. I had always kind of
wanted to create a photo album, but had never gotten around to it, and
over the years I had become pretty good at hunting for just the image
which I wanted in my box of pictures.
It took the digital camera to make me finally create a photo album. You
see, I had a virtual photo album on the computer, one which would show
the images that I had taken, and where I could arrange them in whatever
configuration I wanted. I could even design covers or text for my
digital photo album, which was pretty neat. It was so convenient, that
I rarely bothered to look at my old pictures any more. I just wasn't up
for the effort of digging through them anymore.
Then one day, I was having over my son’s fiancé.
She's a sweet girl, and I decided to embarrass him and make her feel
part of the family by showing off some of his baby pictures. But when I
looked for them, try as I might, I couldn't find them at all. I
realized then, that I had to create a photo album, or forever lose
track of all of my precious memories. I simply didn't know where
anything was anymore, so I set off to by a lovely hardbound book to
create a photo album to organize all of my most precious pictures so
that I could show them.
