How do you store your kids photos?

[daisyt]

Another option is select those good ones, make into clips with software like imovie, premiere pro, element … It can be stored in dvd or hdd to play on TV. I have done so for dd by events she participate. Still have a lot to do for her for since baby till now

For me,


I have all sorted in External HD, by dates and events
The new ones I put in Digital Photo Frame
I choose good ones from time to time and print it into album, so u could see them like reading magazine. Usually I make this kind of album every 3 months Cost my time for editing and $ to print. But we could keep smiling every time we see thru the albums

Hi peterch,


Where did u print the photo-albums? I tried 1 Malaysian printer, price is reasonable but quality of the printed photos are not very good. I’ve also tried another local printer, quality is good but it’s pricey. And yes, it takes a lot of time and effort in doing up the layouts

Nice to see this topic.


My eldest is 5yo and i have not printed my both kids photos since birth. I am thinking to do it soon.

Initially, i was thinking to keep it in a traditional way, there is keep all photos in albums. A lot of works though!

Hi Petech,

Could you please guide me how to do digital photo frame and any reliable shop for printing?

Tks a million.

Similarly I also have loads of photos both digital and hard copies. For digital I select some and have them as screensaver at home and in the office for daily viewing. For grandparents, I printed some and place in the IKEA flip-type photo frame for their table top.

Where did you have the clips done? Any recommendations?

Where did you print them into albums? Does they fake after some time? There are so many shops doing so don't know which is better.

I have 3 hard disks. One crashed already. In the process of burning them into DVDs. Anyone knows what is the lifespan of these digital gadgets?


I also make a papa and son photo book which features nice pics of them doing things together for my hubby’s birthday every year. I try to find pics from every month so it tracks my son’s growth as well. Into my 4th year now. Developed 4R prints at Harvey Norman at promo 19 cents each. I think promo still on until 31 dec.

DH (who's in IT) tells me every 3-5 years must buy new harddisks becos the old one will spoil. He's now in charge of the backup.

I used to print the nicer pictures (then again, all pictures of our babies are nice right?) into 4Rs. Now I will take the nicest pictures for 1 year, collate and then print in photobook. It's small, nifty and won't need backup!

1. Primary backup - Hard copies.

No doubt it may fade over time, but photo restoration technology is available. Yes, agreed it takes time and $$ to print and arrange the photos. Maybe, looking at a different perspective, we should be thankful and grateful that we have all these happy and tedious task to do.

AND

2. Secondary backup - External harddisk or/& CDs.

I have also uploaded the albums to my ipad and I can view them anytime and anywhere.
