I have been using digital cameras since early 2005 (a point and shoot first and then an SLR) and have taken a lot of photographs since then - many of them of no use because the digital technology lets you take as many photographs as you want, good or bad, without worrying about running out of the film and the cost of developing every photo you shoot. I have hardly printed any photographs (thrice including today) on paper in all those years, mainly because I knew that I was staying temporarily wherever I was and I didn't want to collect stuff that I would not be able to carry along with me whenever I move.
But whenever I have printed a photo, I have always felt that it looks better on paper than it looks on my computer/laptop screen. I don't know why but it has a very different feel and its own charm. The colors seem more bright and vibrant on paper. In this age of storing and saving photos digitally, I wonder how many people print their photos and cherish those.
