We bought a sleek photo album for the photographs initially but it turns out that the clean and crisp plastic laminate over the pictures in the album seemed contradictory to the adventurous and unpredictable experience of lomography.
These photographs should be felt with the hands,
we thought.
We wanted the 'recycled paper colour' for a raw vintage feel so we got a relatively cheap schedule book ($4.90) from Muji and inked the cover page with stencil, marker and stickers.
Im glad to have printed the matt photographs with a white border. They look way better like this.
We deliberately stick those pictures with masking tape to get a rugged feel. Handwriting was perferred over printed words for a more personalised touch. The more D.I.Y the better. The more old-school the better. The less fanciful the better.
The stickers were coincidentally appropriate too! I got them from Eastpoint! by the way, EASTPOINT ROCKS if you have forgotten about it HAHAHAHHAA ;)
This album is still way below scrap booking standards, but it is definitely a cheap and easy method to keep those memories! There is still a long way to go...!
