There is something distinctly old fashioned about the photograph album which has little slots into which we slip the corners of our photographs. Buy a good big album-it is much more pleasant to leaf through one book than to fumble with a whole pile of them. Pictures in a album will be more interesting if they are linked by some kind of theme rather than all jumbled up together. An album does not have to be made up solely of photographs-especially if it deals with visits to foreign countries.
We can include little maps cut from tourist brochures, perhaps local stamps, the label from a bottle of wine, restaurant menus, travel tickets-anything which will introduce flavor. As with transparencies, prints should be edited before being put into an album. Do not include fuzzy, dark, washed-out or otherwise unsatisfactory prints. Introduce variety by including the occasional sequence, or by montages and panoramas.
