While photography has evolved past printing, there are still good reasons to make a few hard copies of your images.

Your beautiful photos deserve a beautiful home.

Hard drives store all of our digital memories so it's important to know just how long they'll last. Fortunately, we now have a better idea.

While the fashion photographers are out smoothing wrinkles 24/7 and “digital plastic surgery” tests the boundaries of what ad viewers will and won’t put up with, today we’ll go the opposite direction and let facial features shine. We’re only testing one set of boundaries—those of Zoner Photo Studio.

Whether it’s to share with friends and family, to display in your home, or to preserve a photo for posterity, printing still has a large role to play in digital photography.

The truth is, Instagram is a photographic phenomenon and its boxy, filtered photos are deeply embedded in our culture. More than that, there are dozens of services popping up that can transform Instagram images into magnets, wall art, stickers and more -- all with the unique look that only Instagram photos provide.

This Christmas, my parents presented my aunt with a collage of photos of their parents (my grandparents) in their younger years. As I looked at those old photos I was struck with a powerful question -- would my grandkids be able to do the same with all those digital photos I've been snapping? It's a tough question. During my parent's era, making sure family photos survived for generations was simply a matter of keeping track of a box of prints.

Well that was fun, wasn’t it? Once the dust and wrapping paper settles, the house is put back together and the holiday over-indulgence begins to subside, it’s time to think
