Let me just start by saying that I love the quick photo sharing options you have these days through smilebox, snapfish and Kodak, etc. But people probably look at the photos once and then they get deleted or stored on your computer where they may never be looked at again.
So, I had the great idea to make a 'real' photo book capturing each adventurous year together with my better half.
Well, before I started the creation of my special memory keepsake I did a ton of research on the best price offers, best designs, most user friendly website and I ended up using photoworks.
I am very happy with the results and also with the entire process of uploading my photos and being able to organize them. Since I am definitely not a technology wizzard, I was very impressed with their user interface and it left a positive impression in a way that I would definitely recommend them further and also use them again for future projects. Photoworks has very reasonable prices for their photobooks compared to other websites. They have a great range of different sizes and nice choices of designs which is very important to me.
In conclusion I can safely say that creating my own photo book and keeping my memories alive through photographs is very time consuming, takes a ton of creativity and makes you question yourself every minute along the way:
what do I write as a comment to this picture?
will the recipient of the book like it if I chose this photo instead of that one?
should I use a lot of photos per page or maybe just one or two?
Yes, all those are questions of personal preference but in the end it matters what you like.
The photo book was a piece of work, but now it is a piece of art!
