\"Valentine's<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s that time of year once again. Restaurants serving heart shaped food, served with pink champagne and adorned by a single rose on the table. Hmmm, perhaps that\u2019s not to everyone\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n

This article, however, concentrates on Valentine couples from the pre-digital era, and the importance of the photographic print.<\/p>\n

The happy couple above –\u00a0 were snapped in early 1942 on 35mm film and sadly, the negatives lost long ago. Fortunately they had prints made so after 70 years the image is still with us.<\/p>\n

As times change, technologies develop and older image types, once popular, disappear.<\/p>\n

So beware, if you want to print your photos, don\u2019t put your CD of images in a drawer with the intention of printing them ‘one day’ when the kids have grown up and left home. Print them now.<\/p>\n

If you have a great shot of your parents, again, print them now, just in case you can\u2019t find the CD, or you change computers or wherever else you\u2019ve stored your most important pictures. Remember, writable CDs officially only last 5 years before the substrate deteriorates, and many of today\u2019s laptops and PCs are being made without CD drives.<\/p>\n

Also, don\u2019t trust that Facebook, or Flickr, Instagram will be around forever to store your pictures. Perhaps they\u2019ll wither on the vine like many other popular social media sites.<\/p>\n

Prints, however, go on forever. So seek out your favourite family photographs, and any pictures you take today, and have them printed and framed for memories sure to last.<\/p>\n

We hope everyone has a fun Valentine’s Day with great photos as memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
