Lamenting the (all but) Complete Death of Film
I have been going through an old shoe box of family photos from the
1970's. There are some great shots in there (and some terrible ones)
and they each bring back wonderful memories. But it got me thinking
about the future of "family photos" in the digital era.
I don't know about you, but I rarely print any of my digital photos. I
think a lot of people are the same way. I think this makes the
traditional family photo album an endangered species. And that is
really kind of sad.
Here are a few gems from my past:
My brothers Brett (left) and Gregg seem to be really "jazzed" to be holding the new baby, yours truly.
A photographer is born at age 7. I was on the 'roids. Polaroids that is.
In the pool with mom. I am the one on the left.
It would be a tragedy for these types of photos to be relegated to computer wallpapers, and archive CD-ROMs . But I am afraid that is what will happen to many family photos in the future. I guess I should start printing more pics.
Do you print many of your digital photos? Leave me a comment and let me know!
