Photography : Since no one develops pics anymore, what's your *final* perm. place for them?

Since no one develops pics anymore, what's your *final* perm. place for them?

Or do you still develop them and put them in a photo album?

I'm running into an issue. I take pics with my phone or my Nikon camera, and I have iCloud and Bing Photos as a backup, so when I take a pic, it automatically goes to the backups.

I generally keep them in my phone until about the 3,000 pic mark, then I clean up. Now when I delete them from my phone, I still have them in my backups.

But now my iCloud is full, going back since 2016, and it won't save any more pictures. My Bing Photos is starting to become full, which holds more than my iCloud.

Even if you do develop them, you degrade the quality. Photo albums hold 4x6 photos, but pics aren't taken in that resolution anymore, so you're cropping the edges out. Even if you develop them, you'd want an electronic makeup.

There are a lot of bullshit photos within these, but also save-worthy pics, from traveling, Christmas parties, vacations, etc.
The problem with storing your pictures electronically, is you run out of space eventually. They need a permanent retirement spot where I can place them, deleting them from all my electronic backups.

What's a good final retirement spot for your pics?

Nobody develops pictures in 2019 unless they’re a professional photographer doing it for a gallery or a large physical display. Instagram has made developing pictures obsolete.

I know. But since you can't keep pics stored in your phone/camera forever, where would a final resting place be?

You wouldn't upload every picture you take to Instagram. Only the artistic ones. One could take 200 pics in Japan alone, but only 10 of those would be Instagram-worthy.

Plus, Instagram crops the picture into a square - and filters it - so you'd still want an original copy of the picture stored somewhere.

But eventually iCloud and other backups are going to get full eventually - so you have to transfer the pics you want to keep to somewhere electronically to store them in their final electronic resting spot. But where?

There’s a bunch of different apps you can download to use for storage space. Also, Amazon prime has unlimited storage.

One of my brothers still uses black and white film and gets the pictures developed so it’s not completely dead.

A massive hard drive.

Best to get two massive hard drives and keep them in separate locations like Universal should have done.
