LOVER OF PHOTOS | MARRIED TO A CRAZY KOREAN I absolutely LOVE photographs! From as far back as I can remember, I loved to relive and share memories by looking at photographs. Whether it was my gran’s photos, my parent’s wedding pics, our family holidays, school, dance or my friend’s photos, it didn’t matter. When we were younger, after someone got their photos developed, it was such fun to go through them together, as they told stories of what happened in each one. Fortunately (or unfortunately) back then, people didn’t take the gazillion photos they now take using digital cameras, so the sheer volume was much less…. FAST FORWARD TO 2023 We now take more photos than ever, we enjoy some on social media, whatsap, on rotating electronic frames and if we are lucky, some get made into photobooks displayed for our friends to enjoy when they pop over. I often wonder why more people don’t design photobooks or have albums like we used to. When I ask people why they don’t get around to making sure their photos are not trapped in their phones, computers or tablets the answer is often… “our photos are all over the place, some in the cloud, on my husband or wife’s phones, or computers and I wouldn’t know where to start.” My advice is always the same – you need to nominate one place to store your “Master Photo Collection”. That means you need to gather all the photos from everywhere, onto one computer, organise them into date order and get rid of duplicates. This is the system that has worked for me. I would love you to be able to do the same! I would love to organise your photo collection for you, or teach you how to do it yourself if you'd prefer that. I also started a club called "Let's share memories" - we get together and work on organising our photo collections, photobooks, scrapbooks, Project Life books and anything else to do with sharing photographs - please let me know if you would like to join us.
