My mother used to regularly do photo albums with family photos before we all went digital so I’ve been looking for a solution for years. Nextcloud has been decent with a few apps installed. Only done a couple small albums & worked for my needs. The face detection is alright but cheap cameras, blurry photos, and random mix of internet saved photos doesn’t help, lol. The map view works really well for photos with GPS data. I have my phone setup to automatically upload all new photos to Nextcloud too. Lately been working on plans to share access with my family over zerotier so they can view and upload their own to share back with me.
once a year I make each of my kids a Google photo book of their year in highlights. They love those books, more meaningful & special than seeing pictures on a screen.
I don’t keep any albums, but my parents do have a lot of them from the film era. I only take digital photos, but some particularly nice pictures were printed and framed.
Yes, I have physical photo albums simply in order to have failsafes. Already lost a few digital photos due to hard drives and DVDs breaking. Therefore I now order printed albums every now and then.
Yes. My husband made me a small photo album in November 2021, a year after my dad died before Christmas 2020. That’s my dearest one, with pictures of me and my dad.
Helped me so much more than the digital copies I have somewhere.
36 here, I obsessed over my albums throughout my teens and 20s, thinking that they would be an important artifact. I still have them, but haven’t contributed to them with prints since maybe 2008. I keep saying I’m going to print pictures from my phone though…
Yes. I have some albums gifted to me by my grandmother. I have my wedding photo book. And we also have some instax polaroid albums we have been making.
Then again, I also have some tintype portraits of us as well. I guess I like physical photos.
