I remember the days before digital when you got photos developed and a third of them stunk. Now with digital photos and being able to save them to the cloud I haven't had any photos printed in over five years. Last year I went to the island of Curacao and took lots of photos and never got them developed.
My dad does. He's a semi professional photographer and has a printing place
I do it from time to time. Physical photos still have their place. There's something about actually holding the photos and having them in front of me that photos on the net just don't have the same effect. I take digital photos and then have them printed with Free Prints. You get like 85 free photos a month or something like that, and only pay the shipping, which comes out to maybe $10 or so.
I haven't for a long time unless its something I want to draw.
I'm remiss in doing this. Have spent entire days, hours backing up photos. So much for being easier. Who hasn't lost a photo due to this new medium? I accidentally resized some of my daughter when she was a kid that ruined the resolution.
I miss old school negative/printing. Treat negatives with respect and they'll last your lifetime.
Days in college spent in the darkroom are some of the happiest in my life. It's unbelievable to me now that when i get the whiff of an old xray machine, with the rotten egg odor, that I'm sentimental about that to the point of tears.
/reminding self of a big monkey on my back...
I also miss the darkroom. Great memories!
My brother is still into analogue photography. I am giving him a lift to pick up an enlarger on saturday
DROOL!!!!!!!! x 1,000,000.
@273kelvin Oh how I'd love one, but it's been soooo long wouldn't know how to set one up with a dark room to any success. That's another thing on my billion thing "to do" list, is take a class to have access.
A friend of mine was telling me how they were throwing out wonderful enlargers from her college. Horrified I asked her why they weren't selling them, "liability" she said. That killed me.
I do. Mostly to sign autographs for fans at events. I received a large order of prints yesterday actually.
I sometimes print ... One amazing thing about silly megapixels is you can print in pretty good resolution in massive scale..
I sometimes go get A0 or A1 size prints of a good shot. More for media work in the past but sometimes just getting one printed and framed can be nice.
Like @vita, I print them out to frame. Each year though I create a digital photo album for my grandson on Shutterfly. I print copies for him, his parents, and all grand and great-grand parents.
Yes definitely starting to become lost life moments by not printing them to view as we pass threw our homes, offices or even wallets. Eventually it will be like we're all archeological diggers threw the cloud to find our lives in the past?I'm guilty of that to myself.?
Unless you want to put an album together I haven't printed pictures with Facebook.
