The humble letter seems to be dead. Replaced by emails and social networking, many children and teenagers today may never have even received a handwritten letter in their lives. But is this necessarily a bad thing?
Well, whilst an email is a lot easier, it is that ease and the reckless abandon with which such messages are sent that makes them almost impersonal. No one will feel special if someone ‘pokes’ them or sends them a two line message on a social networking site. However, a handwritten letter takes time and thought and, to make it worthwhile, will almost certainly end up being far more detailed and interesting.
For those who want to recapture such a lost art, there is a way to make the humble letter even more exciting; by using another medium lost to the technological age – photography. Online photo printing can offer the very best photographs of a time, place or person and whilst social networking offers almost unlimited numbers of photographs for people to browse through, finding the very best can be hard. Using photo printing, you can offer those you are communicating with a second bonus – physical photographs for them to keep and display.
Whilst using photo printing to get the photographs would alone be a nice gesture, by using the photos themselves to write your missive on, they can have a truly original letter – something that will have had a huge amount of thought put into it and hold very personal significance at the same time. This way you offer a gift and a letter all in one.
So, if you want to send someone a meaningful letter, use online photo printing to get the most significant and personal photos and then write by hand what you wish to say on the back of each one.
