With digital imagery we don't have to worry about limited shots, whether we put the film in correctly, or what will come back from the drugstore. The cloud holds all, ready to share on a screen near you. For older folks, memories are often linked to aging images chemically fixed on paper and slotted neatly into frames or plastic pockets. Digging out favorites and digitizing them makes them available to share on screens, through messages, or on social media. It can unlock forgotten days for everyone who was there and bring moments to life for those who were not. I recently scanned a selection of old photos, many lying forgotten in an old shoebox, and spent a happy couple of hours reliving special days with my wife as our kids looked on incredulously. "Is that really you? Mum looks so beautiful. You were such an emo dad." (For the record: Yes, still is, and I was heavily into grunge). It's an exercise I recommend, stirring long dead relatives, old friends, and younger versions of ourselves into the digital photo frame mix. It's also easy and only requires your smartphone or a scanner and a free afternoon. | |
