There is something magical about a printed image on the wall or in an album. When I grew up my mother had albums of photos of my family and myself that I would immerse myself in, enjoying seeing family members and myself living life. Those images from my childhood are worth more to me than any JPEG on my many hard drives. If you leave your photos on a disk or your hard drive, your images will gradually fade into oblivion. The images are still there in that folder, but you never look at them and the photographer in me quietly questions why you paid to have me there on your day if you didn't intend to do something with your photos. Print your photos, plus them on walls, on fridges, or in books. Because every time you walk past that photo you will remember that day and smile. And one day our children will thank you too.
