I stopped shooting with a dSLR for now and started organizing and scanning my library of film images. I hope to slowly make photo books and store memories that way. I debated between Blurb and AdoramaPix for a long time but finally settled on AdoramaPix because they have higher printing quality (and paper thickness). This comes at an additional cost. I made the book available for anyone to view and even purchase (highly unlikely though). Here is a preview of the book:
