+100. The best and really only useful copy of your digital photo library is a curated set of prints, ideally as part of a book or a calendar.

I've made photo books but I really try to decrease the flow of paper and other physical things into my house. I'm behind at the moment but I heavily curate/edit and upload to Flickr which also lets me access photos when I'm not at home.

Try MemoryOak... the photos/memories network that everyone deserves.

http://kck.st/3YGGkm4 MO is not addictive. It doesn't sell your data. There's no ads. MO saves photos in their original quality for free.

My wife and I now have an annual tradition of making physical albums of memories from the past year.

Making the album in January is not just fun - it makes you mindful of fond memories at a time when you're likely to think "Geez, another year has passed so quickly".

My only regret is realising I should have started the habit much earlier.

My sibling and I have made it tradition to gift our parents a calendar with family photos as well, since we all live nearby and able to visit regularly .

Yeah it's kind of annoying having to curate a bunch of photos, but we're certainly not going to regret documenting our time together with mom and dad while we still can.
