Create a Photo Album

With the prevalence of digital cameras and the fast pace of life, few people really take the time to create a photo album anymore. This is really a shame. When you create a photo album, you make something that not only showcases your photos, but arranges them in your own personal style that shows how, much you really care about what you are doing. If you make your own photo album, you can not only select what photos to include, but also what kind of book to use, how many photos should be there for each page, and where in your home to display it.

I first decided to create a photo album about a year ago. Ironically, I never thought of creating a photo album until I had been using my digital camera for a good while. Before when I used to use my normal, analog camera, I would keep all of my pictures in boxes, and I could go into them and look at them whenever I wanted. I always wanted to create a photo album, but had never gotten around to it, and over the years I had become pretty good at hunting for just the image which I wanted in my box of pictures.

It took the digital camera to make me finally create a photo album. You see, I had a virtual photo album on the computer, one which would show the images that I had taken, and where I could arrange them in whatever configuration I wanted. I could even design covers or text for my digital photo album, which was pretty neat. It was so convenient, that I rarely bothered to look at my old pictures any more. I just wasn't up for the effort of digging through them anymore.

Then one day, I was having over my son?s fiancé. She's a sweet girl, and I decided to embarrass him and make her feel part of the family by showing off some of his baby pictures. But when I looked for them, try as I might, I couldn't find them at all. I realized then, that I had to create a photo album, or forever lose track of all of my precious memories. I simply didn't know where anything was anymore, so I set off to by a lovely hardbound book to create a photo album to organize all of my most precious pictures so that I could show them.
