In the middle of the Digital Era, photo albums can be a breeze towards the older times.

Any physical pictures about family, friends, hobbies, maybe even work?

I used to. I inherited generations’ worth of photo albums.

Then in a bout of homeless poverty I lost everything I owned when I failed to pay the bill on a storage unit. All those photos are gone now.

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.

Some old ones from my grandparents / great grandparents. Mostly from the 20s & 30s, but a few photos go back to the 1890s.
