PRINTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS

One of my favourite things to do when visiting my parents or grandparents homes is to sift through the drawers, boxes and albums of images of myself as a kid, family holidays, ancestors that I never met.  It was a connection to my past and brought my family great pleasure to point out relatives and holiday spots that I couldn't remember.  They were precious and valuable and will bring pleasure for many years to come.  An album is not just for you - they are for your children and your grandchildren - they are a document of your family history and are a priceless record of your life.

But now smartphones and digital cameras which have made photography accessible and convenient to all are putting at risk this tradition.  We lose our phones, files become corrupted, technology moves on apace and images are lost forever.  Photo albums have been around for only 100 years and yet they are on the verge of becoming extinct!

Don't run the risk of losing your precious images - take them off the computer screen and into your hands to create heirlooms that can be enjoyed by you and many generations to come.  A album that will sit proudly on the shelf to be taken down on anniversaries, birthday and at family occasions.  

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
