Fascinating article in the Chicago Tribune on the importance of physical photo prints. We used to hold photographs in our hands, now they seem to exist entirely on screens. There are too many horror stories of people losing their family photographs from a software update or a hard-drive malfunction. Physical prints make photographs more fulfilling, they become tangible and alive. It’s been proven that looking at photographs reduces stress and helps children connect with their families and their own sense of self, improving self-esteem. The best tip is to get your digital photographs printed, look through them with your kids, and make plans to get family portraits in the future.
