Preserving Memories in the Digital Age: The Art of Canvas Prints

In the past, families would be trawling through boxes of old photographs trying to find a treasured image that they wanted to share. These days, thanks to technology, it is much easier to store an image digitally. You can even turn your favourite pictures into canvas prints for some beautiful personalised wall art.

Family stories are passed down through the generations and when you are talking to your children about a cherished childhood memory it can really bring that story to life when you are able to show them a picture of the person you are talking about.

Although it is much easier to access your photos in the digital age, scanning your smartphone rather than searching through a stack of old photos is definitely easier, it is definitely not a foolproof way of making sure you never lose access to those treasured memories.

Let’s take a look at the challenges of preserving memories in a digital era and how to make sure you always keep these important images safe. You might also want some pointers and ideas on how to make the most of your photographic memories in a way that really brings them to life.

It is hard to truly appreciate the horror of discovering all of your old photos have been lost when the only available copy has been destroyed or lost, for whatever reason.

In the past, if you lost an old photo that would be the end of it. In the digital age, you have the possibility of retrieving the picture by downloading another copy of it.

However, as some people have discovered, it is still possible to suffer the trauma of losing a digital image if you don’t take the right precautions to preserve them.

You can often find a heartbreaking story of someone who has had their phone stolen or lost it, only to find that all of the photos captured on their phone had not been backed up.

If you haven’t backed up your images in the cloud, you also run the risk of losing them forever if you don’t back up the contents of your phone on a regular basis.

All of us have treasured memories and favourite pictures that we love to look at whenever we want. Being able to see someone’s face or being reminded of a special and poignant moment is something that an image can do, and it takes you right back to that time, place, or person.

These images are truly special and need to be preserved. Make sure you have a backup option for your digital images so that you don’t have to suffer that heart-sinking moment when you realize a favoured picture might be lost forever.
