Why you need prints as much as a cd

In my class blog I tell a true story about a friend who still has not printed any pictures of her daughter's wedding months afterwards. I do understand. Life gets busy and complicated. I am often guilty myself, but I have tried to be more conscious of this. I admit that I haven't printed but a couple of big prints from my dream vacation. I do have big prints on the wall from my children's engagement sessions. But I haven't printed an album lately. I encourage people to invest in an album or a book to have memories to share not just to email or post in a photo bucket. It is these hard copy pictures that you will still be able to find and view years from now. Computers crash. Folders get deleted. Technology changes. Save your memories-print your pictures.
