One of the things I used to love about film is I'd have to put the photos in albums, which I would be very creative with .... and use albums with wide format pages. That way, I could have a creative layout with Places photos and People photos in the same spread. People are drawn to People photos, and too many gorgeous Places photos seem dry at first glance.
Giving viewers the option to see both kinds at once, and then zero-in on individual shots of either People or Places at their option was a wonderful thing that is pretty much lost in the digital age.
Now we share photos one and a time. Rarely do I ever print any out. If I want to get creative with them, I'll make a slide-slow with music and intricate timing. Music is a fantastic element that was not available with film photos displayed in the real world. But it's rare that more than one image at a time is displayed in the digital world.
A creative trade-off. But the fact remains, people are far more drawn to People photos than Places photos. I miss displaying them together in cool layouts.
