The Digital age
Friday, September 14, 2007
Is digital photography ruining our legacies. I was listening to the radio and the host brought up a valid point about digital cameras, something I had never thought about. When we take pictures using digital cameras we can immediately see them and discard the "bad" ones. Well remember when you were growing up and you got film developed and there were thoses couple of pictures where you looked like crap. This was part of growing up having the pictures you were embarassed about. Now we have digital photography where essentially you have only the photos you approve. Imagine when this next generation shows their pictures to their children and mom and dad, at their age, look good in every picture. Is perfection the level they will think they have to live up to? Just a little food for thought, I would love to hear your comments.

This is a valid point, unless the people being photographed are ugly. Then they will never look perfect, and probably shouldn't be taking photographs of themselves in the first place.
