Albums Still Rock with Photo Buffs
Blogged under Art and Photography, Household Necessities by Katherine Tanney on Tuesday 22 July 2008

The cool thing about the digital revolution is that we haven’t completely lost sight of what not to change. We still want to hold our favorite photos, stick them on the fridge, arrange spiral-bound-album.jpgand share them in an album. Yep, photo albums are still being made and there’s an appealing selection for sale online. At Safe Collecting Supplies, your photos never come in contact with anything other than archival quality materials that are free of plasticizers (chemical softening agents) and stearates. We love the spiral-bound albums with wood covers and acid-free pages, although the cardboard cover versions (pictured) will do the trick . You do have to use corner mounts to affix the photos to the black photo-cardboard pages but that lets you arrange them any way you like. The company also makes screw-type post-binder photo albums and offers a good selection of leather, vinyl and plastic cover photo albums. Uncommon Goods has albums with handmade copper covers and the designs suggest what goes inside — two hearts, baby carriage, graduation, decade, pet ($55). The downside: Each album holds only 24 four-by six-inch photos. Monogrammed items appear to be back in vogue along with plaid, and Neiman Marcus has paired the two with this plaid photo album ($65) available in kiwi or cherry. As always, Target offers a budget beauty with the acid-free red cloth photo album ($15.50), which holds 200 photos and has a window on the cover for an extra. For more spiral-bound albums with decorative covers, check out Mudlark’s selection at Wrapables. And finally, for that basic, sturdy album that holds 300 photos, you can’t go wrong with Pioneer’s bi-directional photo album ($14).
