Memories-The Fabric of Our Lives

We all have memories that we treasure, all the moments of life are spliced together.
That is what we keep, what we share in those photo albums we hold so dear.
Even the memory photo albums of our past hold those magical childhood memories.

For example moment shared when sitting with mother or grandmother, watching how she lovingly pasted each picture in place. Suddenly a comment or a tale flowed from the tip of her tongue caressing each child like the soft feel of a warm fleece blanket. These are the childhood memories we keep and cherish for all time, long past the day when she remains.

But are they forgotten? Now that we have digital images, cameras, computers and tablets, we snap more photos than we ever did before. We hurry to capture the moment, just as we hurry to be entertained, to enjoy the kids, to do so many things...because there is no time.

What Happens to Those Beautiful Images - The Memories We Cherish So Much?

More often than not, those pictures remain in the virtual world… buried and crammed together in virtual memory space. Never to be seen or remembered again. Often we forget to look again…to see those moments so precious…the ones we were wanting to recollect.

With photographs, we framed them and showcased them all over our living spaces. We walked into a room and smiled at the memories the images brought. But where are they now? Those images no longer don our coffee tables, bookshelves and walls; they all seem to be in the old 'hard drive,' that mess of jumbled files, pictures and outdated software.

Some people create beautiful memory albums. But not all of us have the time to do that. We often can’t even get down to the pharmacy to get those pictures printed out.

There isn’t a mom or dad out there who doesn’t want to see their kids’ photos. Every school video presentation shows parents with teary eyed memories. You want to preserve those pictures. You don’t want them lost on an old computer or hard drive that can’t be accessed any longer. Unfortunately, for many of us that is exactly what happens to those old pictures. They get lost on those old computers or on disk we can never find.

The solution lies in Web Photo Albums. These are photo albums like those you buy in the store, but they are stored on the Internet You can access a web album from any computer or any location at any time. So 30 years from now, when you are in your 60s you can still project that cool web album you made in your 20s onto your television or in some cases even have it as your screen saver.

So web photo albums don’t sound very imaginative, crafty or artistic. But that’s because you’ve never really seen one. These albums allow your artistic soul to shine, you can get as creative as you want with tons of background colors to choose from, and now some even allow you to make collages or add frames.

Making an online album is just as creative as making a scrap book, maybe even more so because you can add in high tech features, colors, and designs that are impossible in a traditional scrap book.

This is an age of innovation and change. Our kids live in a virtual reality. They are known as digital natives. So it just seems logical to convert the more conventional photo album into an amazing virtual memory book, one that can be projected to any screen, computer, tablet or phone and shared across many social channels with those you love. These are memories you can share at a moment’s notice or display through innovative digital frames. Don’t let those memories get away. Share them with people in your present and future. They will never come again.
