WhiteAlbum

Everything old is new again. Right? Such is the case with White Album - an app that takes up to 24 photos at a time and then mails you physical copies of said photos. No previews, no retouches, no filters.. just point, shoot and get some photos later.

I won't lie, I think it's an interesting idea. The transient nature of all the photos we take is actually a bit sad. Even your best selfie only exists for a few days, at best. Having a physical copy of something gives you a reason to revisit it later, even if it's just during the rare occasions that you look through a photo album. When's the last time you went deep diving into your digital photo archives (and, no, Timehop doesn't count).

Having a large party of people use this at a single event seems the most worthwhile reason to try it out but I don't see any harm in making an effort in photographing the people in your life and holding on to it, physically.
