Photography

I've been uploading my older personal photographs. It's weird how sometimes you need a little distance to see where you're at. Someone that I met not all that long ago said that photographs are the birth of memories - I'm not sure if she thought that up herself or was quoting someone else. Reguardless, it's a nice sentiment and I'm glad that I thought to record things especially when nothing much was happening.

I was looking at Flickr last night - have you seen this website? Its very cool. You can upload your photos for free, share them with your family / friends, or let everyone look at them and make comments. Fun.

The cameras have gotten so good that taking very good photos is almost effortless - no worrying about your tool, just point it and press. And film is reuseable, so fire away. Ending up with a large pile, you must winnow down the choices - and it is this editing is becomming the creative act in the modern world.

It seemed like an important idea at 2:00 am.
