This past summer we moved my mother into a nursing home. As part of the process we found photo albums in the back of the closet. A few years earlier when my parents first moved out their home, we went through boxes and boxes of photos. I started thinking, what is the point of having all of these photos if no one looks at them?
When I got home I made a point of starting to display our photos. I started with a gallery wall. I got a variety of black frames and filled them with black and white photos including some cool old photos from the 1920's from our families.
The next thing I did was start to take our digital photos and made them into Shutterfly books. I was thrilled with how these turned out. I will definitely be scanning some photos and making more books.
Don't keep those photos in boxes. Display them! I would love to hear what you do with your photos.
