WhiteAlbum

@lozzagould What we’re after is the surprise and delight of seeing your photos for the first time. Wanted to bring back some delayed gratification and deliver quality printed photos. But I'll take hipster!

@corleyh Thanks for the feedback. That's one of many ideas we're exploring for future versions of the app.

@gbeck419 Yea! Like include a code with your physical order that allows us to unlock that batch of photos from within the app to save, share, etc.

@gbeck419 @mrakshaypatel exactly. I like waiting, but want to be able to go back and use the ones I really like. Like negatives...I still like negatives. :-)

@corleyh take a picture of the picture?

@corleyh @kylegostinger I'm OK with this

@rrhoover The idea stems from exactly that: wanting to give people the excitement and anticipation of seeing their photos for the first time. When I was in Korea in 2013 I took hundreds of photos on my phone. Like any normal person, I found myself immediately and constantly looking through those photos. I realized that if I had a real film camera, every photo I captured would be a surprise to me when the film was developed. Disposable cameras are fun for this exact reason. Every photo is a surprise. You're excited to see them. You're taken back to those moments. And they're in your hands — printed. It's a great feeling, and that's what I wanted to recreate with WhiteAlbum.

@gbeck419 Just do a YouTube search for "blind boxes" and "blind bags" and you'll see there are A LOT of people who like to exp a physical/tangible surprise. ;) Millions of views? It's ridiculous.

@mrakshaypatel I'm very nervous to search that, ha!

@gbeck419 Ha! I thought that might sound wrong, but they are harmless toys. My kids found these videos after getting some of over the holidays.
