Browse Your Photo Album

Most of us take a camera on every holiday we go on. We bought one right before we moved to China, so we could be sure to capture every new experience. When we get back from a trip, we might share some of the pictures with friends and family, post them online to be viewed, or get them printed. If you're a real follow-upper, they'll even end up in a nice album. And then?

How often do you watch last year's pictures? How about the pictures of your college days? Your childhood?

Found a couple of spare minutes? Use them to get one of your albums out, or open a picture folder on your computer (Albums do make for WAY better presentation!). Get a cup of ... (favorite beverage), find a comfortable seat, and just let your eyes wander over (and wonder at) all the memories. 
You don't have to look at pictures for hours, to be reminded of them. You could just look at a couple of pages/photos, and experience the joys that were associated with that moment. 

I'd usually advocate focusing on the future rather than on the past, but when it comes to photo's, I can't help enjoying the walk down memory lane.

If you don't know how to present digital pictures well, consider getting some digital albums printed. There are a lot of websites that'll let you make wonderful books. They look great, and are much less bothersome than the original print & glue ones.
