I was overly dismissive in my comment. It would have been more correct to write "analog only" photos.

If you wife wants photo albums then it is pretty easy to order them with the photos you want and get any number of companies to make them. I don't have a problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is not having a single backup of my childhood if my apartment burns, not having access to my photos on the go, not being able to share my experiences with my family and so on.

By going digital first, I avoid all these problems.

Again, opposite goals. I destroyed every bit of evidence from my childhood for personal reasons. I don't regret it. I spent most of my life avoiding cameras. That changed with marriage and a kid but I still don't let people take pictures of me with their phones because I have a compulsion for control. I also want to make absolutely sure that certain people can't find me, so no geotags or landmarks in digital form.

By avoiding digital photography, I reduce my risk significantly.

I'll take analog every day.

Edit: I'm not the target market. I have special considerations. My wife is though. She wants pictures. I want to stay somewhat incognito. This type of thing solves the problem better for us.
