How often do you look back over old photographs

Recently I have enjoyed looking through my old photos of my family and when I was a kid. My mum has about 2 albums of me growing up which doesn't take long to go through but I enjoy seeing myself and sister growing up, but I have thousands of my children and no one will ever have the time to look through all of them. Shall I keep printing them all or I was thinking about putting a photo book together for every year with just the photos that mean something or show the important parts of our lifes. Only how do I chose every photo means something.

I look though our physical albums possibly once a year. Our digital photos (so any from 2003) upload straight to our Google photos account and are displayed at random on our Google display. I love that it does that.

Hardly ever look at my childhood pics, last time was about 8 years ago. But my mum looks through them sometimes and enjoys them.

I love looking back through all my pics of my DC - I have found I look at photo books more. So now I make a photo book instead of getting normal prints, 'Spring / summer 2019' will be my next one. I do one every six months usually and they are quite compact.

I love looking at old photos. My grandmother recently passed and I have spent hours going through all of the old photos she had. Many of us growing up that I had never seen.

I did have to throw away all of the scenic photos though without people in, which made me sad. Just the thought that she would have thought it was important enough to capture and took pleasure in that moment. It would have been impossible to keep them all though.
