My aunt sent her digital camera to me so I could print the photos. “Just pick the good ones,” she said. So I opened the folder in my PC, and tried to choose out of about 1000 photos, many of them are similar to each other. In the end I had about 200 photos to print.
We live in digital age, and I often feel sorry about how digital photography has killed our senses. Back in film photography era, we took photos efficiently. We thought before we shot. And we tried our best to perfectly capture one moment in one precious frame.
Back then, we didn’t feel it’s necessary to take repetitive shots of a single moment. Surprisingly, if we take a look at some old photo albums from those days, they’re filled with beautiful, and more importantly, meaningful snapshots. This is the thing I love about film photography era; we didn’t waste our films on similar, repetitive, meaningless, crapilicious photos.
These days, I notice people often shoot like ten frames in less than a minute to capture one moment. I find it disturbing because that LCD was pasted there at the back of our camera so that we can see a clearer preview of what we’re about to shoot. It’s supposed to make us take better, not more pictures.
