WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN IMAGES and a PRINT or PHOTOgraph ?
-Then what is pics or pictures? -And what is a "photo album" now a days?
A:) Images can only be stored, viewed or digitally displayed - and are not a physical print/photo.
Prints or PHOTOgraphs are printed on paper from your images in stored digital format.
Both are great- you can have both - Images now come first since images are captured digitally!
Note: Pics or Pictures are general terms- For all images, prints & photos/photographs are all pictures.
One might say "My pictures" my pictures could be digital in a computer or in a real photo album as prints! Now days a "photo album" can be a digital photo album or a printed photo album you have to know or ask!
I Hope the ABOVE WILL HELP YOU IN THIS NEW STAGE IN YOUR LIFE AND BEST WISHES
FOR DECADES TO COME! THANK YOU DAVID DRIGGERS / DAVID DRIGGERS PHOTOGRAPHY...
