Digital techniques are rapidly becoming popular for the recording of images, but current applications for handling image collections still lag behind the varied and fluent ways of interacting that traditional informal collections offer. In this paper we report a field study of how home users use traditional ways of storing and organizing their personal photo collections. We compare this to the possibilities and limitations of current tools for digital image collections. Findings indicate that the interfaces of current digital tools provide excellent support for solution-oriented indexing, but limited support for browsing and storytelling. Finally, an alternative interface is presented which combines real world interaction with the possibilities of new media for interacting with digital images.
