So, do people still have photo album these days?

I tend to keep most of my favorite photos on my phone.
What about you, Chris?

Actually I still love, you know, the old-fashioned album.
In fact, I still look at my wedding album with lots of romantic photos
quite a lot.
And you know, it brings back so many beautiful romantic memories
of that wonderful day. Can you imagine?

Aww! I guess all your photos must be in Sepia, right?

Sepia?

‘Cause they’re, you know, from a long long long time ago.
