    you just wait....

    i dont chronicle my life in pics. When I get pics, I dont even get good ones. I miss the 35mm days when you set up the shot and made sure you got it. I totally agree with some things being said here but I also understand the hypocrisy of it.

    I am pretty sure my wife took some pics when my boys went to first grade. I am also pretty sure I have not seem them since that day.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Think how many times on this site alone someone has posted a picture and the comments read "Frame worthy right there!"

    A picture in a frame on a wall or in an album is like the SEC. It just means more.
    Agreed. But I don't think you can blame that on the digital camera. At the end of the day it's an organizational issue. I don't have many child hood pictures. My mom took plenty. But she just processed the film and threw them in a box to put into photo albums one day. That box that eventually was on the bottom of a stack in storage building that flooded from time to time. People do the same thing with digital photos. Storing them on their pc or phone and losing them all when it dies.

    But if you get in the habit of taking some of the better pictures and adding them to digital photo albums, you'll have plenty to share years from now. I just checked. I have 38 digital photo albums that go back to 2007. It takes diligence to go through pictures from time to time and add them to an album. But it's the same diligence with film or digital. I still have a couple of physical photo albums and pictures on the wall. But I'd argue that you should scan your old pictures and store them on a cloud based back up option.

    I definitely get what you are saying about looking through the lens. Most people can't take good pictures (digital or film). And they feel the need to share those awful pictures on social media. Often times it looks like they take the picture just to share it on social media and fit in with the Jonses. But social media is a whole other monster.

    I lost years worth of photos that I had stored online when the site that hosted them suddenly went dark. Back them up. A terabyte of storage is cheap.

    I would argue Most take pictures and videos (concerts sporting events as mentioned) to share on large scale to say hey look what I did with their quote friends on the internet and not actually to embrace the moment when looking back at them at later dates on their own. It makes me crazy when we are fishing or hunting and someone in the group seems more fired up about hey lets get a picture (without saying but to post online) every time they catch a fish etc.

    I am 34, I guess that makes me a geezer.

    I hit on some of this already. But I agree most people take garbage pictures. Most have no idea about perspective or lighting. I wouldn't even consider myself that good, but I cringe at many pictures I see that people share. And yeah the look at me factor is real. But I think that issue runs alot deeper than cameras or pictures.

    When my kids were born. I created an email account for each of them. I email them from time to time and usually attach pictures to the email. But beyond the pictures I write them a note about what we were doing and what it meant to me and what I hope it means to them one day. No one has ever read these emails. They don't even know about them. My plan is to share the account with them one day when the time is right. It's a very technological solution. I could have done the same thing with hand written notes and printed pictures. My point is that the technology isn't really the issue. I think it depends on what the motives are.

This was my point when my wife got chapped at me for telling her to put the gottdang phone down and just watch the kids! "But we need pictures!!!" Okay. Cool. What are you going to do with them? Print and frame? Print and put in an album? No. You aren't. Since she's started being more intentional. Taking great pictures and if they warrant then printing them to frame place in an album.
    Exactly. Maybe i just dont trust digital, have ton of pictures on my phone and computer but how long will that last, 90% of the time nothing happens to them. I print them and put them in a box, maybe 50 years from now my grandkids will find them. Framed pictures mean even more, i've gone as far as sending friends framed pictures just because.

    I lost a tb hard drive last year. 3 months earlier I lost a hd on my laptop. Luckily I had most of the stuff backed up elsewhere. Multiple solutions is best, but if people are gonna pick one a server farm managed by someone else is safer than a $100 external drive.

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
    as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    Pictures can tell a story. Move us to smile, laugh, and remember those we cherish. A select few of the very best even move us to tears
