Going back to Our Childhood days, I Collected Old Black & White Family Photos of My Brothers, Sister and Myself. I Created this Book to Give to my Siblings for Christmas. We Were Raised in Los Angeles, California. As You look through the Images you'll see that for City Kids, we had a Great Time! The Images Start from 1910 with My Grandparents to their Great Grandchildren. This book is for the 4 of us, to Share and Remember the Good Old Days.
I used the Vintage Photo Album to Create this Book. The Quality of some of the Photos was not very good, using the Vintage Layout was perfect for the Smaller Images. A few of the Photos were Color, I used Photoshop to Convert them to Black & White to keep the Album Theme. Please View My Book and add any Sugestions.

You did a good job of collecting your old photos into an album. But, I would recommend adding dates, places and names if you have them. Even your brothers and sisters will wonder when a picture was taken.

I am making a family album which will be passed down to grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They will wonder who that is in the picture and when it was taken. As I go through old photos and scan them into Photoshop, I check to see if there is a date and a place written on the back of the photo. Using Photoshop, you can add that information to the bottom of the photo or using Bookmaker, you can add text to some of the templates.

Just a suggestion...to make your book truly memorable.

Yes, You are Right! Names and Dates would have been a Good Idea. It would have been Easy to do in Photoshop. Perhaps I'll create more Copies for the Grandchildren and Put Names and Dates with the Photos. However since most of the Images were taken 50 to 100 Years ago, getting the correct Years is going to be a Challenge!
