To historians, family photos exist on the margins of global history - they aren’t considered “newsworthy” enough to be catalogued in the National Archives. These photos hold valuable family memories and are highly susceptible to damage and loss. Most families have hundreds of disorganized analog photos deteriorating in their homes. Analog photos trigger such powerful emotional responses in all of us. I think photos – especially family photos – deserve to be enjoyed in tangible form. In fact, we’re drowning in uncurated photos that may never escape our phones or hard drives. As we create content at warp speed (hello, Instagram and Facebook!) we’re amassing more data than ever. There’s magic in holding photographs in your hands, in passing them around the table with family members. Design Aglow: How has Save Family Photos been received in this age of “all my photos are on my phone”? Rachel: In the age of social media and instant gratification, I actually think there’s a deep hunger to return to our roots and gather around something tangible like a printed photo. My mission reflects my training and my passion: to save and share family stories, one photo at a time. Now, as I look back, I realize that my dual experience as a photojournalist and a wedding photographer perfectly prepared me to launch Save Family Photos. I was honored to be a family historian with a camera. For over a decade, I photographed hundreds of weddings for families.

Photographing a milestone like a wedding was an ideal way for me to merge my interest in storytelling with my love of family history. A decade later, when I stumbled upon wedding photography, I quickly traded my front row seat to world history for a front row seat to family history. That’s actually why I chose to study photojournalism I wanted a front row seat to world history. At my core, I’m a storyteller who believes photographs play a vital role in preserving world history and family history. Great photographs tell stories and careful curation helps convey those stories in simple, powerful ways. Can you share your past career and how it launched you into this project? Rachel: My background is in photojournalism and my training involved equal parts storytelling and curation. Design Aglow: Hi Rachel! We are huge fans of Save Family Photos and the work you are doing to preserve family histories. Today, she talks with Design Aglow about photography, family history, and preservation….and why she has made this work her passion. Her brainchild, Save Family Photos, has been featured in Kinfolk, the New Yorker, Everyone, Good Housekeeping and more. Research is needed to optimise guidance on fan administration.Rachel LaCour-Niesen is on a mission to save family stories, one photo at a time.

Negative perceptions of a few included dislike of the cooling sensation and embarrassment in public.Findings suggest that a hand-held fan is a portable intervention with few disadvantages from which most patients with chronic breathlessness will derive benefit alongside other nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies.

10 (7.5%) patients said the fan reduced their need for home oxygen or inhaled β-agonist medications. Benefit was described in terms of shorter recovery time, especially after activity. Of 111 patients who provided codable data, four (3.6%) perceived no benefit, 16 (14.4%) were uncertain, 80 (72.0%) perceived some benefit and 11 (10.0%) perceived very substantial benefit. Diagnoses included nonmalignant (n=91, 68.4%) and malignant (n=21, 15.8%) conditions. Qualitative analysis used an integrative method.133 patients commented on the fan, of whom 72 had a carer. Univariate and multivariate statistics were used to explore perceived benefit as a factor of sex, age and diagnosis. Two researchers independently coded level of benefit qualitatively reported by each patient. This study explored the benefits of a hand-held fan as perceived by patients with chronic breathlessness and their carers.A secondary multimethod analysis was conducted of interview data collected in three clinical trials.
