I went travelling with my friend serval months ago. We took many photos with our phones. However my phone fell down and broken down after the day I was back. I asked my friend to share the phones he took. After I got the photos from him, I was shocked. So ugly!
Every photo of me is not good but of him is handsome. Fine, I learned that only selfie would satisfy me.
Since then, I began to search some products to avoid things like that. The portable photo printer caught my eyes. It is convenient to take it everywhere for its light weight. And it prints photos in a quick speed meanwhile the quality is not bad. What’s more, with some mobile applications, I can edit them while back to hotel with no other things to do. On this condition, I guess every moment won’t be lost again, especially mine. I’m just joking.
Actually, the moment with your family, friends and even passer-by is valuable. The portable photo printer makes it possible to print the moment whenever you want. Then you can keep them as collection, and you can give them out as a gift. In the process of picking up a portable photo printer, I found something useful and convenient. Hope it is also helpful to you.
