In the world where almost all photographs are captured digitally, is there REALLY a need for printed copies?
If you by chance lead a minimalist lifestyle, you may be wondering the same thing. I used to think that printed photos only create clutter and it is also somewhat ephemeral and not meant to last forever (papers turn yellow over time, change in colours or print quality, etc.).
Whenever I’m feeling nostalgic, I can just literally access the photos on my phone or computer in seconds which will take longer if it were printed. With Google Photos, especially, almost all of my photos are right there at my fingertips and sharing with family and friends can also be done easily and quickly. So why bother? Printed photos are just not practical – or are they?
