myfs_154258 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi,I need some advice regarding the photos placement. I used to hang my late grandparents and late great grandparents photo in our living room. But we've just took our very first family photo. And we would like to hang the family photo in our living room where we hang my ancestors' photos.So, where should we move the ancestors' photo? Or is it advisable to keep it inside the photo album? And where where should we keep it?Best regard,Jenny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 26, 2012 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2012 1. Today's generation rarely if ever hang late great grandparents and even late grandparents photos.2. Thus, frankly, there should not be some residual "guilt" if any if we do not display or remove their photos (for safe keeping - even if some of the photos where formerly used at their altar some time or other or "prayed to").3. In your case, I personally feel, just "file" the photos (or keep them aside - be it in a photo album or those A4 or smaller document holder - no issue.4. Usually for modern homes, there are limited wall "real estate" to hang your very first family photo. Do what other "normal" family does, go by the feel.5. In common sense Feng Shui:-5.1. Avoid "sensitive" or recognisable photos or portaits facing a corridor where outsiders may peer in.5.2. For example, if one is living along a HDB corridor and when the main door may be opened or some windows opened, the test is that no one should be able to look into and view your family photo.5.3. If one is staying at the ground floor or even on the 2nd floor, often, depending on the window configuration, often leave the centre area of the window opened. 5.3.1 And someone at ground level may again peer into the window(s). The test is not to let them (passer-bys) see your family photo or portait. This is just common sense. 6. During these few years onwards, nowadays, those "led photo frames" are another practical consideration. 6.1. Within a single "real estate" or table top; one can "recycle" many photos on that single led-photo album. 6.2. If one is or was an iPad fan, may someday, when ipad goes into iPad 3 or 4 or 5; may consider even using their older models such as iPad 1 for such a purpose....

Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 26, 2012 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2012 This now becomes more like an advertisement:1. Do you have lots of photos and still like to keep your home clean?2. Do you have limited space in your home to display many photos?3. In a few years time, do you think you will have many obsolete tablets lying around?Look no further....
