Quite some time ago I realized that the box is no longer big enough for my quickly expanding photo collection. Unfortunately in this era of digital photography, that enables even the most unskilled photographers to take breathtaking pictures, a shoebox is no longer an option. In the times of analog cameras, one maybe used a film or two per holiday, as for today you can hardly get away with less than 10 times that much?! And that is only the beginning. Selecting a few out of 48 snapshots, for that all time favorites selection of yours, is not hard but out of 500!? It takes hours… And after all that hard work, they still have to be printed and placed in an album in a presentable fashion. With all that in mind I guess it is safe to say that the best way to store and organize your digital photos, is simply by letting them be. Keep them on a computer or other storing devices and when you really feel up to it, print a few for an album or to put in a frame. Whether you’ll ever end up showing any of them to friends and relativesi s yet another story:) But then again, how often did you drag that old shoebox out of the closet?
There is also another option. Over the years I’ve come to realize that the most convenient and simple way to share photos, is through short movies or clips. With a huge variety of available software at your fingertips, you can quite easily create a video masterpiece within minutes. Select photos, add music that most fits the atmosphere, press create and voila - brand new movie, featuring you or your friends, ready to share in the comfort of your own living room or through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
So what are you/we waiting for?
It’s about time we came to terms with the fact, that for storing all of our memories, there is simply just no box big enough….
