we enjoy digital images the same way we enjoy fast food.

When was the last time you went through the drive thru at McDonalds, ordered your go-to (cause let's be real, we all have one), and then sat and fully enjoyed the experience?

I'm talking stopped the car, turned on a great playlist, lovingly unpacked each item included in your combo, and then ate every. single. bite. with intention and deliberation.

Never? Sounds about right. 
We enjoy digital images in pretty much the same way.

quickly. on the go. 

never fully enjoying or appreciating the experience.

When I was young my mom had what felt like scads of photo albums, all filled with black and white Kodak prints, each piece of paper containing a story. 

We sat, we flipped through the pages, we asked "who's that?" and  "where was this taken?" and "is that what you WORE?!" (if only my 90s era child  self could have appreciated all that amazing 70s style...)

As an adult, I don't necessarily remember all the pieces of my childhood, or my parent's  childhoods, or their parents. But when I flip through an album, little pieces and stories come back to me. 

then you already know the value of printing your photos.

If you can remember flipping through those  albums, laughing at the outfits, commenting "you look so young!", realizing how hot and in love and cool your parents were back in the day...

but What if we could enjoy our images the way we used to?
