Reasons Why Photo Books Are Better Than Digital Albums
In this digital age, almost everything is automated - from paying bills to buying clothes.
Even photography has been hit with this technological bug.
People take pictures of beautiful sceneries, special people and memorable events, and immediately upload them on Facebook, Instagram or other social networking sites.
These photos seldom get printed and instead are stored in computers or burned on DVDs.
Though this may seem to be the most practical thing to do, it doesn't have the same effect as to printing photos and putting them on photo albums.
Here are some reasons on why you should create a photo book:
But instead of storing them in places where they will gather dust or not end up being seen at all like in DVDs, create a photo book.

Here are some reasons on why you should create a photo book:
- It's tangible.
Obviously, photo sharing sites will not always be around.
Once they shut down, all your priceless photographs are gone too.
And unlike uploading them to online albums, going with the traditional approach will give you something tangible to hold in your hand and last you a lifetime.
- It's a good past time.
Flipping through pages of your book while sitting on your porch makes for a more fun and special way to bond with your family than staring at your computer screen as you scroll through images.
- It's customizable.
Digital photo albums are plain and don't actually give you a lot of room for customization.
Once you've transferred all the photos, depending on the software, you get to decide on the interval between pictures and sometimes the layout, but that's it.
Photo books, however, allow you to design everything.
You even have the option to start from scratch if that's how you want to proceed. - It gets your creative juices flowing.
Pretty much like scrapbooking, designing your photo book is a fun and creative process.
Though there are sites that offer templates, you still need to decide on how you want each page to look.
You can even ask your kids to help out and turn it to bonding activity. - It's a great gift.
When you're looking for an excellent gift idea, photo books are one of them.
They are perfect for any occasion - birthdays, weddings, Christmas, you name it.
And the best part? It's one of a kind unlike other generic gift items. - It's cheap.
Contrary to popular belief, getting your pictures printed on a book is not an expensive project.
You can find a lot of craft stores that sell classic photo books and websites that allow you to design your own.
But instead of storing them in places where they will gather dust or not end up being seen at all like in DVDs, create a photo book.
