I bet with the approaching holidays you and your loved ones will be taking loads of pictures! Back in the day, it was exciting to get the film developed. Sort of like reliving the same experience over. Now, I take so many photos that I use my cell camera for mundane tasks. What is the name of that weed or is it a native flower? Snap it and check and app. Love that item in a store but aren\u2019t sure the price is right. Click the pic and then look for it elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these new uses for a camera are wonderful, they aren\u2019t if we are treating the important photos we take carelessly. Do you ever save your phone photos? If so, where?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing since Google Photo lost some of my pictures several years ago. I now have my photos saved to a different Cloud. That way, I can remove them from my phone. Why do I do that? Because I\u2019ve had phone accidents where I couldn\u2019t retrieve data, and I don\u2019t want my precious photo memories gone forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my kids were young, I was a scrapbooker and I saved the best of the best by including them with a story of the event. It took a lot of time, but it was fun. I\u2019m not sure it was worth it, though, as I\u2019ve passed them on to my adult kids who have no space for them. One is in boxes in an attic and the other complained about having to move them twice this year while doing renovations. Those, too, ended up in the attic for a while. Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the pandemic one of my kids gave me a photo album that can only hold one picture on each page. The idea was to only save a small amount of the very best photos from my overseas travels. I was pining to travel, and this was a way to get me to relive what I had done and plan for what was to come. And oh boy, did travel come! In the past year and a half, I\u2019ve visited Germany twice, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather outside is frightfully cold so I\u2019ve ordered two more albums and will spend my time indoors reliving those memories by printing from my printer using photo paper and affixing those special pics into the book. They really are genealogical treasures as on my travels I always make time for family research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of these albums is that they don\u2019t take up much space and I\u2019ll be passing on to future generations my findings as I write a sentence or two of what the location is about. Next week I\u2019ll be writing about my most memorable learning experiences this year. It will be my last post of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
