This is a friendly reminder to print out your photos. I just got a new batch printed, I try to do this every year with my favorites of the previous year.
People take pictures for so many reasons- to share online, to be creative. If you’re like me and you take pictures mostly to celebrate and remember your life, this doesn’t help.
Mindlessly taking a gazillion photos of the same moment, only to have all those duplicates become forgotten digital files on your camera roll. I get why that happens, but
The act of curating your photos, choosing just one, and then printing it out actually helps your brain lock in that memory. And you experience more gratitude for that moment.
Then when the prints show up, it’s always an exciting thing. These are so much more fun to just thumb through versus digital files.
Here’s a ferry ride we took in Seattle. Esperanza in Oaxaca, her story was incredible. Camping trip.
