Photos. They are one of my greatest joys! I can look through old photos for hours. It’s so fun to reminisce and see what has changed. This is one collection I won’t sacrifice to be a minimalist…and that’s okay! The entire point of minimalism is to be enlightened by what you can indeed live without. But nearly everyone has that one item, hobby, collection, etc. that injects happiness into their life…and that would be photographs for me.
At the conclusion of 2018 I decided to do a photo “yearbook” and continued that tradition when 2019 wrapped. It’s a big project that I really have to prod myself to work through. I vow to work on it quarterly during the year to stay on top of it, but fail miserably. A friend posts a lot of photos on Facebook and had one created quickly from them. I don’t post much publicly and am a bit more particular on the layout, so prefer to create my books from scratch. Upon recommendation of my sister, I am currently using Mixbook. I am really pleased with the quality and cherish looking back through the year! Plus, it’s a thin book that takes up little space (unlike my albums from the 90’s that are bursting at the seams).
Should I ever be faced with the decision of what to grab in a fire…it will likely be my iPhone and photo books.
