Good evening,
Magazines are a common item to acquire and they often have a useful article or two in each edition. Now keeping a magazine for one article is a little much. Unless we are collecting them to keep in pristine condition as a collectable or because one has been featured in it. Most of the time that is not the case though. I am going to pass on what I do so I don't have stacks and stacks of magazines all over the house.
I took a 3 ring binder and some letter size sleet protectors. I then cut out the articles that I want to keep, staple them together, then recycle the rest of the magazine. Most of it is just advertisements. For the same size as 5 mags we could have about 10 pages worth of articles (and that is being generous most of the time it is 5 pages) from 25 editions or over 2 years worth a monthly subscription.
Granted most articles are online now so they could be saved on the computer or cloud and that is fine. Magazines are still being printed so people are still buying them and storing them too. This post wasn't really about photography directly. I just got a copy of a magazine and thought that I would share my storage process with you all. So take the previous information and go out and shoot.
