How many gigs of vacation, family, reunion, holidays, bdays do you think you have on your computer? Do you have guilt every time you upload pictures and they just sit there not being processed for you to see and hold and share? Do you fear clearing your memory card incase your computer dies and erases irreplaceable memories?
I am right there with ya. Sometimes I am a good girl and do something with my images. Here are just a few things I have done:
Mug for Grandma that looks black until you pour a hot beverage in it and then the photos show up. Try explaining how it works to a 73 year old who grew up in the islands. We jokingly just call it black magic.
Calendar for hubby that he hung in his office. Loved it!
Church tote for daughter. No one has ever tried to steal it. Maybe because it is dirty.
Photo books. I have done several but one of the favorites had a vacation theme with a collection of several years of vacation images. I made sure to order a copy for each child that they can take with them when they leave home. Which, I hope, is never.
A gift of Thank You cards for friend after a baby session. No picture. Sorry, it was a gift.
And I am hoping to do some gallery wraps this coming year. Just. Can’t. Decide. Which. Ones.
But the best thing that I have done with my jpegs was not planned. It happened when I got a gift I didn’t know I wanted. It was a digital frame from my hubby for Christmas 2 years ago before I was full throttle into photography. I thought it was kinda silly and not a REAL way to display photos. . .until I used it. WOW! I am now a believer. A fan for life! It is best way to save wall space (I would need a mansion to display all my favs on the wall) and on developing fees (like free, can’t beat that!) I feel so much less guilt having so many more of the jpegs viewable. Hip hip hooray for less jpeg guilt!
Watching the images change is always better than what is on t.v.!!
