One of the first things I spent my pocket-money on was a little camera (the long thin types)
For my 16th birthday I was treated to a Samsung Film Camera - it cost R999 ($100) (18 years ago that was a lot of money, especially for my parents) I still have that camera and I will never part with it.
Last year I treated myself to a Canon and I am still loving every second of it (even if it spends more time in the closet than out in the field)
I take hundreds of photos, share them online and then store them on my Hard Drive.
Nobody ever really gets to see them and enjoy them.
I have recently mounted a few of my photos into frames which are now displayed on my wall along the staircase, but those 13 photos are a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands I have stored.

I made myself my first book with my Thailand photos and loved the idea so much, promptly made a second book with all my day to day photos.
I have recently completed my Europe Holiday photobook and will send to print when I have some spare cash. Next I will begin work on "Through the Eyes of a Princess II"
The design work is fun because you can do anything you like! I use some of my photos as backgrounds, make a collage, frame them, drop shadow them, add scrapbooking looking embellishment images... the list is endless.

The books are professionally bound and the pages are glossy and thick enough not to tear very easily. A scrapbook album looks lovely but it becomes bulky and the embellishments and paper can get torn so easily.
