... the digital photography thing. Makes you wonder what the photographic record will be like. What a pile to dig through!

    Whata find, rutt. It says alot about the fact that nearly everyone has a camera now, and a HD full of random images. This will be the best recorded time in history. Wow.

    But, I wonder, what were the ladies taking a picture of?

    Hey Rutt you beat me to the finish line. I snapped a bunch of pix like this last week I titled "snap happy" but haven't converted from RAW yet.

    Yesterday, besides some news cameras, a press photographer, I saw another Sony 828, loads of pocket cams, a guy with not one, but two canons around his neck (and it wasn't Andy), etc. I was shooting most of the day Wednesday and Thursday due to the high surf and crashing waves! I've actually seen higher, but it must have been a slow news week, or else the crew wanted to go to the beach! :-)

    Anyway, I'm busy today, so maybe over the weekend I can process and share some waves and photographers.

    Actually, I have read that because of this digital thing and saving things on computers, cullling only the good shots to print, etc., there will be fewer family activities and people recorded over time.

    I know most of my stuff is not printed. I stopped that to save money which is kind of laughable with what I have spent on equipment. I don't need to print photos to share them, I have no place to put them, and the ink is annoyingly expensive. The ink bothers me more than the paper which I get at Sam's.

    I am thinking of buying a camera bag now, expensive, but I am having back problems, and I need a thingy to give me more USB ports, plus whatall and the rest of my life. Things are not being printed.

    The article I read mentioned the shoe boxes of photos that families used to keep. Photos were not technically that good, but things were recorded that are enjoyed today, whereas we are just not printing out that stuff.

    I agree completely.

    I need a DVD thing as my photos are not even backed up anymore. Everything seems more important than ink, paper and good food.

    I am paying for a large webshots acct as I have photos on there that will be lost for good if I don't have them printed or keep the site. I am not sure that for families, in general, as far as history is concerned, that this is such a good trend. (I almost let the photos go on webshots..........after I was a month behind, I paid the 25.00, but if I die and the right people don't know...??)

    The thing about this generation, in general, the communication is so good immediately. I don't know about the future, but the media, I think the amount of communication we have now, I think it has changed the world and will only continue to do more so.
