to print or not to print....


Before bubbles was born, i told myself that i will take loads of pictures and print them instead of having them on digital copy. But that never happened...having everything digital these days makes it easy to just store on a hard disk and then u forget to print them. She is almost 3 nows and i haven't printed any of her pictures...so u can imagine how many pictures and albums i need...sigh!.

So lastnite out of boredom, bubbles sleeping..and the rig is not drilling yet. I opened all the folders that has her pictures in it and begin to classify them, she had a lot of pictures...even then, i still didn't think i took enuff esp when she was a baby ...shame on me.

After 3 hrs of looking at her pictures...i managed to come down to 980 pictures that i want to print, that is allot to print innit?...if each copy is $1...then i will need to pay $980 ...crap!. I mean...if it was done regular like how it was suppose to be..I'm sure it will not feel allot but now...that's seems like a lot of money to spend on.

I wonder how much they charge here for a copy hmmmm......i remember in sitiawan it use to be 0.45 cent a piece....dead cheap!.

I should do it anyway...its long over due, and hopefully now i will have time to print the regular...for bubbles and her adek...:D.

What do you guys do....??...do u print your pictures these days???

Times...like this i which there is no digital camera...just plain oldskool...manual camera!

Hey :) Hmm 980 pictures? You could print half first, or print a few first? I'd like to think that the price of developing photographs has gone down. In Norway its less than 5 kroners per photo, but I have not developed a single photo in my past 5 years of life. Shame on ME. But yeah, you can always print half, organize it, then print more :) Once you see a thick stack of photographs, you might be more motivated to get them printed :) Good luck and take care!!!

here's an alternative to printing... you can organise the 980 photos into an i-book using your MAC at home and write a story about bubble's first 3 years. That way instead of just having albums of just plain photos,you'll have a book to show bubbles of her baby photos and for her keepsake when she grows up. I suspect the cost would also be cheaper and the output much much more beautiful. good luck!

a dollar per pic.. man.. meh sini antor kat s'wan... digital still at 0.35 ok..dapat free 8R for every rm20 i think.. hee.

i think you should print them.. most of the pics ive been taking are in dvd/ cd.. and guess what.. aritu i made a random check.. ade yang rusak. and gone are the pics. lucky not my favourite ones. but imagine if they were?

but don't print there la.. print here.. hehe!

PRINT! its always nice to just sit down and flip through your child's photo album.. and see how they have grown.. and how time have passed.

It's great for Bubbles to have a set of books/ album on her.. & your guests will enjoy it too..

Sini kat Fotokem 0.50 a pc. I'm sure kalau print sampai 980 keping boleh dapat further discount.
