Looking at a familiar photo can trigger an emotional response. Our brain will retrieve the memories and feelings associated with the particular photo. For example, looking at pictures from your vacation on the beach can trigger happy emotions because your brain has made an association with happy feelings and the beach. This is also the process that allows us to feel nostalgia when looking at a photo. Printing your photos is the best way to hold on to those feelings and emotions because they are tangible and will last a lifetime.
KEEP YOUR MEMORIES ALIVE
If the reason you take photos is to relive your favorite moments, then there is no better way to relive a moment than holding and looking at a tangible photo.
