What Should I Do With My Photo Proofs?

What are fun things to do with our proofs after we get them? My sister’s are kept in a box, but I want to do something special.

Show ’em off! Proofs or originals should be given to you in an organized manner in an album, says photographer Jinsey Dauk. They should be in chronological order, separated by black and whites and color shots (if you’re having both) and protected by acid-free plastic sleeves within the books. You can turn your favorites into a collage. Laminate them and make coasters! Or follow the lead of one of Dauk’s ambitious clients, who’s covering an entire wall of her house with photos from her wedding.
