I wanted to make a huge family collage and got the photographs out to begin selecting which pictures to use when it suddenly occured to me we stopped using our trusty old spool camera just before our youngest was born and switched to digital. I decided I couldn't start my collage until I printed off some pictures of my youngest (who is over a year old). I never realized how many photos were living inside my computer, uploaded from the camera and never printed off. Not just all of our favourite photos but often the 5 awful pictures we took to get the result of our favouritres.
My husband and I were up late last night looking through the photos on the computer selecting which to delete and which to keep. We haven't finished yet we will pick up where we left last night when he comes home from work. In the mean time I started sifting through the camera to delete the ones we deleted from the computer last night. If i remember, when we print off the ones we have decided to keep I will delete them from my camera and have a fresh start!
It is just unacceptable that we had no photos in print of our youngest. I am so excited to FINALLY get them printed and hope this arduous task of sorting the keepers from the rubbish is finished soon so I can order them. Then the fun will begin, chopping up those long awaited photos and turning them into a BIG beautiful collage to display proudly in our living room!
Photos captured in digital are captured and held hostage for years don't you think it's time to set them free?
