“When you print a photograph, it becomes physical. A print is the embodiment of the digital file. As a print, it becomes part of our daily physical existence. As a constant part of our life the print comes to play a role in our life, perhaps effecting us in ways we didn’t expect. When something lives in the digital world, it is easily scrolled past, or swiped away and forgotten forever. Digital photos live a ghostly existence.”

The Real Reason You Need to Print Your Photos

Mat Coker is a family photographer from Ontario, Canada and he is passionate about both digital and physical photo prints. He wrote a great piece for Digital Photography School and you can read the whole article here: The Real Reason You Need to Print Your Photos, A Post By: Mat Coker

According to Mat, a printed image has a different existence – a bodily existence – and becomes part of your world as something physical rather than ghostly or dreamlike. When printed, our photographs are ever-present reminders of what is important in life. You should print photos that inspire you and call you to a good life.

Mat continues, a photo that isn’t printed is like a script that is never performed, or a musical composition that is never played. There is still value in the digital photo, just as there is value in a script or musical composition. But the value is mainly the hope that one day the digital photo will be printed and share a bodily life with us – to inspire us, cheer us, and remind us.
