print my digital pictures

Not only did I get my photo book (today) and it is completely AWESOME, but I printed about 50 pictures yesterday at Walmart’s one-hour photo. I love how you can just do it all from your computer and pick them up. The pictures all look sooooo great. They were taken with my sister’s Rebel XT and my new (Christmas/Graduation gift) Rebel XTi. The only part about printing pictures that I ever regret is the cost… but it beats taking film pictures and paying for development and every single print when most of them don’t turn out perfect anyway. I love my camera, I love photography. Some day I would love to do something professionally with it.

Yesterday I created and ordered my photo book from mypublisher.com and I am super excited. There was a special promotion that allowed me to get a second copy free of charge (had to pay s&h tho). Worked out perfectly… I made it for my sister and got one for myself out of it too. CAN’T WAIT TO GET THEM!!!!

Where does one even start with this?? I am thinking of creating albums and having them printed as books instead of loose pictures. Picking out individual pictures to print and put in frames might be the way to go for me right now.

I have printed out (on the color printer at work on normal computer paper) some of my favorite pictures from my trip to England with my sisters. They are so beautiful and make me so happy.

My photos are all printed.
And the best thing is, I got them done free of charge (well for the latter half of the pile anyway).
It pays off to have friends that work at photo-printing places hehehe

I DID IT!
Well I only did like 1/3 of my collection.
But I also bought a photo album! (i’ve never had one)
So now I have the motivation to print more out and fill in my album pages.

My real motivation was money..
My friend at Kodak said her boss went out for lunch and that she’ll print out some of my photos for free.
I was like SWEET! But I felt bad since I printed out $30 worth so I bought the album from her store. But she gave me a 50% discount so I paid $20 for the $40 album.
I feel so mean. But, I will definetly get my photos printed at that store so they can make more money off me!

I really need to do this. All my photos are saved on my computer. And I dont really seem to have the time to load all my photos online (..so goodbye to the other goal).
I can feel my computer wanting to crash and burn. I KNOW my computer’s gonna crash in less than 3 months and I’m going to lose allllllll my photos of my highschool life.
So I have to do this. This is a must.
