So gone are the days of negatives and getting a copy of prints every time something is developed. My parents have multiple boxes of old photos that are really fun to look through and I will hopefully digitize them in due time.
My biggest concern is what happens to all of my digital photos after I am gone...Since they won't be printed and you cannot pick up a physical copy of them, I am afraid that they will almost vanish into thin air. I have a 3 yo son and would like him to be able to enjoy them along with his kids someday....
What are you guys doing to preserve your digital photos for future generations? Are you making photo books, are you printing pictures? I am not really concerned about storage on hard drives and such, it is mainly the preservation and other people being able to someday go through and look at photos, and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the best solution...
I assume there are tons of others in the same boat, especially just with pictures on their iPhones. Seems to me that there will be an enormous amount of digital photos lost though the years as people pass and others dont know where they stored them or what passwords they used on certain sites, etc.
Any thoughts are truly appreciated.
